Out to Lunch
I was recently contacted by eShakti to review something from their fall line. I've always wanted to try something other than a dress from them, but I love all of the dresses I have from them. What can I say? I likes what I likes.
They come with pockets, which is always a plus. And, they offer customization--everything from sleeves to skirt/dress length and neckline. I got this dress above the knee where it normally comes below the knee. I love the short, fun length!
Please excuse the wrinkles. As I have unearthed my closet, I have not yet unearthed my iron. Sigh. It's a work in progress.
I've been dog-sitting my mom's corgi Mork for about a week now and she came to pick him up from my work today. He's such a sweet dog. No one even noticed he was laying at my feet under my desk all morning!
And when my mom came to get him, we got to go out to lunch! My mom moved three hours away a year or so ago and it was pretty hard to get used to. I used to see my mom once a week or so and now I see her about every other month or so.
Needless to say, I really enjoy every moment I get with my mom. We went and enjoyed lunch at Panera--which I recently discovered believe it or not and LOVE--and she spoiled me with double chocolate chip cookies, of course.
We are actually getting ready to host a baby shower for my sister and I am so excited. My mom thought up the theme "sugar and spice"--since it is a girl. We will have spicy and sweet food. Isn't she clever?
Two of my favorite things today: moms and pretty dresses. Aren't they just the best?

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.
