Thursday Mixer--eShakti Dress
This dress has always held a special place in my heart. It was my first c/o item since my blogging "career" started. I spent days carefully selecting it and fell in love with the patterns and the colors. To my excitement, it has become quite versatile.
I actually changed into this directly after the Spina Bifida Walk last weekend for a casual wedding reception. It got a lot of compliments and was perfect for the occasion.
The colors of this dress make it perfectly transitional for spring, fall, summer or even winter with layers. Plus, it has pockets!!!
As I explained, today we were at the Special Olympics to cheer on my niece who did awesome! Her entire first grade class came to cheer her on and we all got t-shirts!
She got two second place ribbons and a first place ribbon! Unfortunately it got rained out about 1:00 p.m. but we had a good solid few hours there in the sunshine!
Going back to work tomorrow will be weird--it's always weird to have a random weekday off. But at least it's Friday! And we are gearing up for yet another super busy but fabulous weekend!
Saturday we are walking in the MS Walk for my Mother in Law and on Sunday we are going up to Wyoming to hang out with my Grandpa for Mother's Day (my request, of course). One things for sure, even though we have been super busy, it has been filled with family. And that, like any versatile, comfy, pretty dress, is pretty damn beautiful!

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.
