Thursday Mixer--Denim Vest
I wouldn't say that I jumped on the denim vest bandwagon. It was more like a flying leap. I immediately saw it as a versatile piece in my closet. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any in the thrift shops to save my life. Good thing there is an abundance of denim jackets at thrift stores and I don't want to brag or anything but I am pretty good with a pair of scissors.
And, again not to brag, but my premonition of how versatile this vest would be was spot on. I've only had it since July and it has been documented at least six times since.
Today was pretty freaking awesome. There weren't many reasons in particular why it was freaking awesome, but I can think of one in particular off the top of my head.
So my boss is supposed to be on vacation for about a week and a half. But this morning, he stopped in to work just to give me the 1,000 Vegan Recipes Cookbook that I was talking about with his wife the day before. It even had a big red bow on it!
He and his wife are vegans. My family is not vegans, but I have to say I have quite enjoyed cooking new dishes for my family and I. I enjoy going to the grocery store like I never have before. I even found out that Sprouts is the best store on the planet!
And, I finally hit a home run with a dish the kiddos loved the other night--Mustard Crusted Tofu Strips! After weeks of arguing and whining with them about our new diet plan, they were pleased. They loved it! This brings our bragging count in this post to three . . .

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.
