Thursday Mixer--Grey Tee
Can you believe that it wasn't until after I was pregnant that I actually owned a grey t-shirt? Is that ridiculous or what? I actually bought this one for prenatal yoga, but it has turned out to be so much more.
I've had it a year now, bought it for about $15 and have worn it a documented 10 times (although IRL it is worn much, much more). Current price per wear is sitting at $1.50. In other words--pretty freaking good.
Speaking of an oldie but a goodie, I have a story for you (I'll wait for the shock to subside). Not so long ago Kaden had this random obsession to watch the movie Friday. I know, I know. It has a lot of pot in it. That doesn't bother me. We're really open about pot in my house and I know that he is not into pot. But he is into 90's humor and Ice Cube. So I told him he could watch it.
I have it, but only on VHS. And we don't have a VHS player. So we kept our eyes out for a good couple of weeks--Redbox, Netflix, random stores like Wal-Greens trying to find it to rent or buy for cheap. I mean I didn't mind Kaden seeing it, but I wasn't about to spend $10 on a movie that came out like 20 years ago.
Then something occurred to me that hadn't before--there is a Showtime Video rental place down the street. I know right!!! I thought those were extinct! But we have one. I don't know how it stays in business but it does somehow.
And in we went. It was such a throw back--for real. I mean, do you all remember what it was like to rent movies before Netlfix, Amazon, Hulu and Redbox? Do you remember actually deciding to rent a movie for the night? It was a process! You had to go to the rental place, scope out the movie, hope they had one available, wait in line, whip out a card and pay for it.
But it was so much fun wasn't it? It's kind of sad to know that that's gone. My kids may never know the excitement of that adventure of renting a movie. We didn't find Friday there, but we did find something else--a good walk back in time.

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.
