Mission #5, Day 2 and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNER!
Yes, we are still celebrating Mission Week, the polka dot edition, but more importantly:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNER!
Today is my younger son, Conner's birthday. He turned 8 at 4:02 this morning on 4/2! He was literally born with efficiency.
So, I used to hate the month of April. I loooooathed the month of April. For many stupid reasons. For one, I've never met an April that I liked. In fact, my first ex cheated on me with an Apryl who threatened to kick my ass. Another April threatened to kick my ass in high school. Also, I always had bad luck in April. Cars would break down, emergencies would come up, people would die. It was bad.
So when I found out that Conner was due in the beginning of April, I was kinda bummed out. April Fool's Day was also annoying for me. I am the most gullible person on the planet and I've been dooped on AFD multiple times. Thus, everyone kept giving me shit that I would go into labor on April Fool's Day.
Nonetheless, as any mother knows, you can't plan that shit. Even though he gave a valiant effort to please my desire to not go into labor on AFD, at 11:30 that night, it was on. Five hours later, Conner Thomas had entered the world.
Not only did he make me change my negativity on April, but he has brightened my life in every way. At eight years old, he does sixth grade math. Like long division. In his head. He has the sweetest little heart. He is the most observant child in the world. If you tell him something, he will absolutely remember it word for word years later. He is nothing short of amazing. I hope he is having the best birthday ever. I love you Conner!

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.
