Thursday Mixer--Camel Skinny Jeans
I bought these jeans on a whim probably about eight months ago or so. It was one of those magic moments where I had wanted a pair, but put it in the back of my mind. Then, randomly strolling Wal-Mart, there they were and on sale, so it worked out.
I believe they were $16. Five wears later brings the price per wear to about $3. Not too shabby . . .
These were taken probably about a month back when the weather was a little more forgiving. I wouldn't be caught in jeans these days--that's for sure. Unless I wanted them permanently melted to my body.
Kind of a funny story about these shots though. They were taken on this little walkway in this teeny neighborhood where I have taken my photos dozens of times.
So I'm sitting here, snapping away, minding my own business as usual, when this lady about my age gardening in yoga pants hastily shouts to me. "Excuuuuuuse me! Do you liiiive here???"
I told her I did not. She asked if I was taking pictures of the houses. I said no--just me. She was all flustered and annoyed about this, but had no grounds to do anything so she just continued to huff around her little petunias. True to form of a smart ass, I decided I would take a billion pictures and take my sweet ass time doing so.

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.
