Mission #24, Day 2--Sequined Bolero
It's the second day of Mission Week and also the last day of 2014--say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I decided to celebrate with this fun sequined bolero. I was actually approached with it by a salesman in a thrift shop. He was the cutest little thing. And spot on with this bolero. It is so much fun to wear!
Today, after our ultrasound, we are going shopping. Car shopping. For a minivan. Yes, that's right. My cool mom card is officially getting repo-ed today as I succumb to the undeniably necessary reality that I will need a car that can tote four children around.
I'm so bummed about it. I told myself I would never drive a minivan. But, I am going to have four kids--one of whom will be in a car seat. Two of which are boys in various sports with equipment. And all three of them have more active social calendars than I do. So it's inevitable.
But I'm going to make it as cool as possible. Black. And I refuse to put those stick figure things on the back. Or any kind of "my kid is better than yours" or "I brake for {insert various stereotypical motherly activity/memorabilia}" bumper stickers.
And I do realize that it will come in handy. Getting just the three kids in and out of a sedan is kind of a pain in the butt as it is--especially when one of them has a friend or sporting equipment with them. So the space will be nice for sure. Even if it comes with the humbling of my image. Sigh. I'm getting old. And domestic.

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.
