Mission Monday--Pencils Down!
Well kids, are you ready for a new Mission Week? I know I am. This week my kids are doing the TCAP tests (yuck). Oh yes, it's all business at their schools this week, so shall it be here on the blog next week when we do our renditions of Pencil Skirts!
As usual, any time next week (from Monday, March 18 to Friday, March 22) that you show us how you wear your pencil skirts, you can link up on Friday, March 22. Pretty easy actually.
I am pretty stoked to have a skirt-based challenge next week. After wearing jeans all last week and expecting rising temps and lingering sunlight (FINALLY!!!), skirts will be a nice change.
I had been dying to wear this dress. I got it at the clothing swap for the Goodwill Fashion Show last week, but the weather wasn't cooperating. And I had planned the outfit justlikethis in my head ever since I picked it up. I couldn't believe that someone wanted to get rid of this dress!!
I realize that the ISO is kind of out of control in these photos. But on this day, I was super busy in a rush and the weather was crappy cold and cloudy. And, I'm still learning all of the photo enhancing software doo-dads that came with the camera.
Speaking of, guess who's going to their first photography class tomorrow night? Wha-what! I'm gonna get all camera savvy . . . or at least a huge step up from how camera savvy I am now. Here's hoping.
Lace Fishtail Hem Dress-thrifted c/o Goodwill Swap; Denim Jacket-Lee; Cowboy Boots-thrifted; Earrings-c/o Touchstone Crystals
Don't forget about the eshakti discount code (FRNNIEPNTZ) to use for 20% off until March 20th!

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.
