Share the Covers--5446 Was My Number
Here is the original by Toots and Maytals . . .
And the cover by Sublime . . .
Patrick and my anniversary was about two weeks ago. Normally, we don't get each other presents because we usually do something for our anniversary. But this year Patrick told me weeks prior that he had gotten me a present. I was so annoyed! This means that now I had to get him a present! Ugh! The nerve! He assured me that what he got me was not expensive but still!
So I got to work and busted my butt and made Patrick a really cool present. And our anniversary came and went and . . . no present from Patrick. I noticed after the fact that he had been uncharacteristically checking the mail every single day, but nothing was there. I started to get even more annoyed--thinking he had made all of this present nonsense up just to get the goods :-)
But this weekend, it finally showed up. And it was perfect. He got me a Sock Fancy subscription! This may seem lame to some people but guess what? I love socks. Because I hate to be barefoot. So when I get home and throw my heels off for the day, socks go on my feet. And I have no shame. I will wear Christmas, Halloween, mismatched, neon or patterned socks all day errday. So I love socks. But prior to my first day at this new job, I also had a real concern that I was going to have to dress really boring. So he got me the socks to bring in some of my personality because, well . . . this.
I love this man.

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.
