Make it Work Monday #18
Thanks to Instagram, I have been introduced to and subsequently obsessed with other Colorado style bloggers. One in particular I have yet to meet in person, but I can tell you, nearly every outfit this girl puts on, she WERQS. I love her eclectic style. And so I decided to try to recreate one of her fun and colorful looks. Be sure to check out ModaPrints for inspiration yourselves!
For several weekends, we have been gogogogogo. This weekend was the first that we had where we didn't have much, if anything, planned. I love those weekends. They just feel so free and refreshing and spontaneous. On Saturday morning Brielle, Reilly and I got to go to the Farmer's Market for the first time this season! Usually we go every Saturday, but we have been so busy that we have yet been able to go!
About a half mile down the street, the Rhythm on the River was going on, so we walked over to check it out. It was so hot but so nice to not be able to say "we can't go because we have to get ready to x, y and z."
And for the rest of Saturday, we just hung out. We jumped in and out of the pool, we played outside and then we went over to our very personal stylist/friend to get all our hair died. Kaden, Conner and Brielle got blue in their hair (just strips) and I got red back in my hair.
Sunday morning we hung out and watched cartoons. CARTOONS. I cannot tell you how long it's been since I sat with my kids and watched tv aimlessly. It's really lame but it sounded very vintage and just chill.
This weekend I am off to Vegas with my mom and sister for a Mother/Daughter Weekend. And next weekend promises to be another busy one. And before we know it, school is starting (yikes) and football for the boys and dance for all three of the kids.
In other words, let's pool lounge, cartoon watch and take our time strolling through Farmer's Markets and local events now while we can.

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.
