Mission #43, Day 1--JUMPSUITS!!!--Chambray Jumpsuits
Guess what has been trending for a couple of years now and will be the focus of Mission Week this week? Yep--jumpsuits. Hoo--ray.
Recently I hit a major post-pregnancy milestone--I was able to fit one of my rings back onto one of my still swollen fingers. There are two rings I wear constantly--my wedding ring (obvi) and an amethyst ring.
The ring has a lot of sentimental value to me. It was my grandmother's. And then she gave it to my mom when she was 13. And then my mom gave it to me when I was 13. And I have worn it everyday (that my fingers haven't been swollen) since.
Well let me tell you a "never give up" kind of feel good story about this ring. So one day several years ago I came back from a trip to Breckenridge to find that the amethyst in my ring had disappeared.
I was totally crushed. That is, of course, the essence of the ring. Not to mention, it is a real legit amethyst and therefore super expensive. I had, of course, looked everywhere in my apartment for the gem and ultimately decided that it might have gotten lost in Breckenridge.
One day, while looking for the gem, I found a little purple jewel. I thought that it was a part of Kaden's pirate Lego set, but something made me put it away in a safe place. It looked way too small to be my amethyst.
Fast forward to a year or so later. I randomly decided one day to try to see if the gem fit. Guess what? It did. And it turns out that it wasn't a pirate Lego treasure. It was the amethyst that I had lost a year or so prior.
And now the ring means even more to me than it did before. And I really can't wait to pass it on to my daughter Brielle when she turns 13.

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.

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.
