Thursday Mixer--Beige Oversized Sweater
I got this sweater with a gift card when I was pregnant. I knew that it would be handy while my belly grew bigger--as it was very roomy. And I also suspected I would like it far afterwards also. It wasn't maternity, after all. And guess what? I was right. I love this sweater. Comfy, neutral color and oversized. Perfection.
This sweater was on clearance when I got it and it cost $15. I've worn it 5 times on the blog (far more IRL), making the current price per wear $3.
As I've said, my mother in law has been helping me out with Reilly while I'm at work. And Kaden has been staying home since he is being homeschooled this year. The other day I came home to Kaden holding Reilly and shooshing me at the door. "Gramma Pam won a bunch of money and a cruise!" he announced.
Uh oh. I thought. This is not good. Frantically trying to get my mother in law's attention and afraid she was getting scammed, I stopped and listened to her part of the conversation for a bit. And then I started to laugh.
My mother in law had been on the phone with these people for well over half an hour. But she was not being scammed. In fact, she was straight up fucking with these people. Sarcasm left and right. But she didn't ever indicate that she wasn't interested so they had to follow sales protocol and stay on the line.
My mother in law is a genius. A hilarious genius.

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.
