Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

For the Thanksgiving holiday this year I chose two outfits that are a little bit dressy

 My goal with these outfits is to project a positive, upbeat vibe

 and a little bit of dress up fun can help

It has been a difficult year, so I am striving to spread as much warmth and happiness

as I possibly can!

My first outfit is not a natural choice,

 it took some playing around with and thinking outside the box

It was a fun and creative process, and I am pleased with the way it turned out

(this time!)

Wearing a tan perforated leather jacket with white trim

 over a white camisole top

Paired with a brick red floral midi skirt with an asymmetrically ruffle

These are season spanning pieces, but I have never worn them together,

and usually choose them for spring

Together with the fall accessories, 

I think the pieces give a festive, autumnal vibe

Carrying a red square quilted bag

This bag is by Mango, and has a convertible chain cross body strap

I have gotten a lot of us from it, but faux leather tends to have a short life span

and it is starting to flake and show signs of wear-

too bad, I would love to clone it! 

I picked out subtle, lustrous gold tone jewelry for this look

A collar necklace with discs all around, a yellow and rose gold wrap bracelet

and ball stud earrings

Tan suede mules with stacked wooden heels

to finish the outfit

I am loving the deep magenta 

 that is in the palette for fall and winter this year 

With the Barbiecore craze, every shade of pink is trending

The deep shade of this shirt is a favorite

Wearing a tailored button down in a saturated shade of magenta tied at the waist

over a sleeveless cobalt blue flare skirted dress

I chose bold gold tone jewelry to complement the intense colors of this outfit

A collar necklace of "V" shaped links, a triangular blue dyed fossil bracelet

and embossed stud earrings

Wine colored suede asymmetrical strap heels to finish the look

I am wearing the same dress as the outfit above, in a similar color combination, 

but with a bell sleeve magenta and cobalt lace print blouse underneath the dress

Still a lot more ways to restyle this dress!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday this year

Stay safe and enjoy!

I'm taking a little holiday blog break

See you in December, when the world turns from orange to red and green🎄!
