Mission #26, Day 3--Maxi Dresses
On this third day of Mission Week, I present to you my maternity savior--the maxi dress. Whether it's actually "maternity" or not, it likely fits. And it is for sure comfortable. (Just FYI--I think some things that are labeled "maternity" are a rip off. Maxi dresses are one of them. And cardigans. Maternity cardigan? Really?)
I have really weird dreams in general. I have even weirder dreams when I'm pregnant. And when I am pregnant, they usually involve the baby.
I have had many dreams about my kids when I was pregnant with them--some of them absolutely horrifying, some funny and some just really sweet. But there is little doubt that they will be freaking weird.
I've had about equal parts "the baby will be a boy" and "the baby will be a girl" dreams. So I'm still at a loss there. But I've had other dreams too.
Like a couple of weeks ago when I dreamed that my niece was tugging on my shirt and the baby just . . . fell out of my shirt. I was freaking out because it was so early. But the baby was just fine. I was even able to breastfeed right away. It was strange.
And this weekend, I had a dream that I had a baby boy. He was perfect and adorable and healthy. But he fit in my palm and was about three inches long. And, for some reason, he was sleeping in an ashtray?
I have no idea.
(By the way, if it wasn't apparent, I haven't had a single cigarette
since I found out I was pregnant. The smell makes me gag and I am
hoping this will prevent me from picking up the habit yet again.
Pregnant and smoking = gross. Never have. Never will.)

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.
