Thursday Mixer--Peach Shear Maxi Dress
Before we continue on with the Thursday Mixer, I really, realllly want to take a moment to thank everyone for their support on my last post. I sat in front of my computer forever, contemplating whether I wanted to post about it or not and grimaced when I hit the Publish button. I was so nervous, but I also wanted to help others that were in my situation. I am truly touched.
So, this peach shear maxi dress. I thrifted it last June for $6. Almost a year later and the price per wear is already at $1. I think it was originally a nightie, but it is one of my favorite thrift finds.
These photos are pretty bittersweet because they were taken on the Tuesday that I found out I was pregnant. I didn't know there was potential for anything to be wrong yet, so I was incredibly happy.
On that note, I had to go in for more bloodwork today for the first time since I got the news. They have to continue monitoring my bloodwork for a couple of more weeks to make sure that everything is going as it should, whatever that means.
I had a bit of a breakdown. For starters, why must they always ask you why you're there to get bloodwork? Do they really make you say it? I mean, it is safe to assume it's not often for good news. Second, I got the same formerly bubbly nurse I had the first time I went in. Not the same kind of visit at all.
Also a bittersweet moment--today was my kids' last days at school. So I now have a 7th, 3rd and 1st grader. I can hardly believe how the time has flown.
It was also Brielle's last day at the day care she has been going to since she was in diapers. I brought all the teachers flowers. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for them and all they've done for her all these years.

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.
