Thanksgiving Greetings!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all,

and thank you for stopping by my blog!

The holiday season sort of snuck up on me this year

It's been sort of a blur of activity from Halloween to nearly Thanksgiving

How about you?

My first outfit is a fall classic for the traditional family holiday

Don't want to offend any relatives with my outrageous and inappropriate style choices-lol!

A tan blazer is adaptable to all seasons

but first and foremost, it always seems perfect for fall 🍁 

I wore this jacket earlier in the season in a post about an autumn palette

Today I am wearing it with a jersey knit top and midi skirt  

in one of the Pantone colors for the season called Red Dahlia-

yes to all the reds!

This scarf is worn folded in half, tied at the back of my neck

and tucked loosely into the front of the skirt

I have worn a smaller scarf similarly, in this sort of cowgirl/western style, 

but of all the many ways I've worn scarves, I have never tried this

What do you think? The scarf almost looks like a colorful blouse with the jacket over it  

I chose some warm, gold tone jewelry to complement the outfit

A hinged bracelet, and two vintage pieces from the fifties/sixties

A cute shaggy dog brooch and a pair of atomic design clip on earrings

 The earrings were a bit of a gamble, purchased them online on Etsy,

but they did not disappoint-I love them!

 

Another accessory from the same vintage era is this

 hardshell envelope bag in an embossed tan reptile print

Taupe cross strap block heels to finish the outfit

Roger is a man of many talents and neckties!

 He is sure to make a matching statement with my outfit!

For my next outfit, I am trying a whole different vibe,

and going from muted tones to bright, festive color!

This dress is an oldy but goody, in a favorite style

It is sleeveless, and I usually wear it in spring and summer,

but I thought I would try it out layered for fall

Because, you know-orange!

Diagonally striped fit and flare dress

with a tan cropped cardigan layered over it

Carrying a caramel color croc embossed handlebag

A mix of vintage and modern jewelry, again for this outfit

Chunky gold tone square/round hoop earrings,

a 1950's expandable gold tone bracelet,

and a very special 1940's carved Lucite bird pin 

To finish the outfit, two tone camel and light tan Maryjane slides 

A little Thanksgiving decor-

Accordion paper turkey from the 90's,

and cornucopia glassware from the 40's

I hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday!

I will be taking a short blogging break next Sunday

hope to see you in two weeks!
