Mission #43, Day 5--Vintage Navy Jumpsuit
Well folks, it's the last day of Mission Week. Today I share one of my favorite vintage finds. I love this jumpsuit and I have worn it about 325 times. I love the back the most. But it's complicated. Because I can't usually expose the back at work. So today I threw a blazer on and went to werk. I mean, work. Har har.
So, I've been homeschooling Kaden for this school year through Connections Academy. I'm going to do a post on this soon. Honestly, we are two months in to the school year and I feel like we are still getting in the swing of it.
I have mentioned on the blog before that Kaden has ADHD. And I don't mean the "oh that's over-diagnosed" kind. I mean, fully legit literal ADHD. While Patrick and I have teetered back and forth on medication (and we've had him on it and taken him off of it), we're opting to do this without medication.
Putting him in an online school was a big part of that. And thus, Patrick and I have been his teachers. And this is where I have to give a big shout out to all teachers. I cannot tell you the patience it has required to work with Kaden. Seriously, everyday I am drained.
But it has also been incredibly rewarding. His grades are better than thy have ever been. And although it was a very rocky start, there have been several times that he was actually able to retain and repeat information back to me. And that is pretty cool.
Also, if anyone needs to know anything about Africa--I'm your girl. Seriously. A-N-Y-THING.

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.
