Thursday Mixer--Purple Graphic Skirt
Alright alright alriiiiiiiiiiight (any Kevin Hart fans out there?) it's time for Thursday Mixer and today I am showcasing one of my favorite skirts: this graphic, purple pleated mini by Head.
I bought this at a consignment shop a couple of years ago. I don't get to wear it too much (it's too short for work) but I love it just the same. (Sorry, there weren't many other options for similar ones that I could find to direct you to other than eBay)
I wore this last weekend to go with Patrick down to Grand Junction for one of his best friends' (Jimmie) 30th birthday party. It was actually a surprise party--his wife invited us. It is quite a drive (about 5 hours), but it was totally fun.
Melissa, Jimmie's wife, really went all out. She rented a room in a nice hotel, got a DJ, a bartender and did a tip top job with the food and decorations. She had it set up as a gambling theme with poker tables. Perfection.
It's so awesome to enjoy the company of Patrick's friends. We had a really great time and the drive wasn't even that big of deal, even though we did get caught in traffic on the way back.
And this outfit was a great fit for the night--dark but fun. The small wedge heel on the booties made for a good balance with the shortness of the skirt.
Speaking of great weekends, we've got a great one planned this weekend including another road trip and hanging out with the kids and family. Can't wait until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon!
Purple Graphic Mini Skirt-Head, thrifted; Black Blouse-Vera Wang; Leather Jacket-Wal-Mart; Black Tights-Target; Low Cut Black Booties-Old Navy; Necklace-ICE, gifted by Mom; Earrings-gifted

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.
