Mission #4, Day 5
Today is our last day of pencil skirt Mission Week. I hope we get some link up this week. So far, this is the fourth Mission Week and no one has linked up. Sad face! But I'm not discouraged. It's really been fun to challenge myself either way.
"Mom, is magic real?" Brielle asked me yesterday. "Of course it's real," I told her. "It just depends on what you consider magic."
A few minutes later, she was back in the kitchen with the hiccups. "What's your middle name?" I ask her. She looked at me confused for a minute (of course I know her middle name--it's the same as mine, my mom's and my grandmother's) and answered " . . . Sue . . ." I waited a minute and said, "See? Your hiccups went away now didn't they?" (This is an old trick I learned working at Subway many, many years ago. It's got a pretty good track record.)
"I told you magic is real," I said to her with a smile. Her eyes got big and her mouth wide. She was absolutely in awe. "How did you doooo that?" she asked.
She was so excited about it, in fact, that when I went in to give her a back-rub at bedtime, we were laying in the quiet when all of a sudden she asks, "Mom, seriously, how did you know about that hiccup trick?"
I don't know how it works, but it does. I pass this along to you so that the next time you see someone with the hiccups, you too can feel like a magician when it works on them. Your welcome.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
