Hello friends!
It really is amazing that I got these shots to share with you today. We had 40-45 degree temps last week and it rained the entire week! The weekend was my saving grace when I could take blog pictures. Today, I am sharing a potential outfit for Thanksgiving. I do tend to dress up more for Holidays, but it will be a quieter one this year, with my family out of state and us visiting my Moms at Christmas time. T Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My Outfit
You all know by now my love for Fall. The colors, the fabrics, textures and the ability to be more creative with clothes layering and mixing patterns etc. I was quite happy with how this outfit with burgundy, rusts and golden mustard came together.
have been working on my denim wardrobe over the past year, finally being able to wear jeans more often, without discomfort and sensitivity I used to have.
I love classic styles- bootcuts, flares etc. but, there have been fun cuts and details to denim over the past 2-3 yrs and I couldn’t resist the tulip hem. I love that they highlight whatever shoe you are wearing. It was, years ago, that you wore a pointed toe shoe and most of the shoe disappeared into the length of the jeans. Now, we have tulip hems, step hems, cropped flare, slits, and more interesting designs.
I wore a split hem design on this FRAME denim pair I bought from the Real Real this year.
I bought the jeans I am wearing today on LOFT in my normal size 4.
My hubby bought me these Franco Sarto jacquard booties last year with a few hints, I just adore all of the rich fall shades and wear them often.
Let me tell you about my sweater…
Secondhand Shopping
The orange sweater had yet to make its debut on the blog. This knitted, flared design was first spotting on Poshmark, via Anthropologie. I love the knitted detail and peplum style, plus its cozy goodness! My friend, Kellyann, calls me the Queen of Poshmark! I have bought more secondhand this year, but i have been shopping this way for years. Thanksgiving was the perfect time to wear it. If you have heard me talk about Poshmark and want to know more read – Poshmark, What is It and How to Shop There.
Thanksgiving Traditions
I know I would help mom in the kitchen, as we woke up early on Thanksgiving day to prepare for company. There was the “big table” for adults, and the “little table” for the kids. I couldn’t wait to sit at the big table! Let’s face it, it was a beautiful wood table designed to be enjoyed, not the little fold out that the kids had. But I wouldn’t complain! My relatives would visit, mom would cook all day and I would help set the table and help with the sides. We always dressed up.
Later, the triptophan would work its magic, and I would get very drowsy wondering just how long my parents would be up chatting with family. As a kid, I would go to sleep when I needed to, telling whomever was in the house, “good night”. Maybe that wasn’t the best of manners, but when you are tired you are tired! Turkey does that to you.
The tradition of watching football was what the men did. Lots of shouting, yelling, and excitement in the other room. My Dad was a big time Steeler’s fan, and I would joke you could hear him down the street!
This year, I miss all of us getting together for Thanksgiving, but we are all over, in different states, and we will be gathering together for Christmas in Pittsburgh with my mom. I think the older I get, the more sentimental I become.
What will you wear on Thanksgiving? What are some of your traditions?

November 23, 2018 at 6:50 amHappy Thanksgiving Jess,
I thought I had made a comment but I must have dashed off to read the other blog posts!
You always look fabulous and I love the pumpkin sweater!
I also love the tulip details on the hem of your pants!
I have never seen that before!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend!
Hugs,
Robin

November 23, 2018 at 11:22 amThank you Robin! I loved the cut and style of this sweater. Poshmark is one of my favorite ways to shop. Thanks very much! I hope you had a wondeful Thanksgiving as well. xc

November 22, 2018 at 4:46 amI loved reading of your reminiscences Jess. And how I LOVE that cardi! It’s got a definite 40s vibe which I’ve noticed you are sometimes drawn to, which always pleases me as I have always been a fan of the 1940s style and lines. So today’s post is bringing a big smile to my face, seeing your fusion outfit of 40s cardi and today’s jeans. Fab.u.lous.
Hugs, x.

November 21, 2018 at 8:39 amLove that orange color on you…and yes, traditions make the best memories. We have a change up this year….for the first time in years we are going to georgia instead of IL! Now that we moved to Florida, the hike to IL is a bit much for the short time off we have. So new traditions coming! 🙂

November 20, 2018 at 10:19 pmI LOVE THAT DENIM HAS COME A LONG WAY. I missed on those amazing tulip-hem frayed jeans but hope to find similar ones. Also your sweater and boots are perfect for Thanksgiving and awesome colors too. You look fabulous! I love dressing up for the Holidays too. But we tend to dress up a lot more for Christmas, at my family.
Make sure to link up your latest this week on Thursday Moda! You’d also enjoy my latest collaboration post. Welcome by. =)
Have a fantastic holiday weekend and Happy Thanksgiving! <3 Ada.

November 20, 2018 at 4:38 pmJess, that is the perfect Fall/Thanksgiving Outfit! I know what you mean about being more sentimental as time goes by. Cause it sure does fly! The jeans are a fun change from all the skinnies, as you and I have corresponded about! I didn’t really “get” Poshmark so thanks for sharing how it works.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving. Ours will be simple, too

November 20, 2018 at 11:07 amThis outfit is perfection, Jess. Oh, how I WISH I had found those boots last year!!! If you are the Poshmark Queen, I may be a contender for eBay queen 😉 LOL! Happy thanksgiving! Yes, my kids are a bit indifferent about getting together this year and it makes me kind of sad. I hope they also get more sentimental with age.

November 20, 2018 at 10:38 amI too love the colors of Fall and I will also be wearing orange for Thanksgiving. We will be having fewer family at our gathering as well. As grandkids become adults with lives of their own, the number around the table dwindles. Sad, but that’s life. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

November 20, 2018 at 9:58 amI really love your whole outfit! Rust and pumpkin have such trending colors this fall and they look great on you, but surprisingly, I have been able to wear them as well! The booties are adorable and I’m always inspired by your second hand shopping. This year, we will have Thanksgiving without my oldest daughter as she just had a baby and they don’t want to travel with a new born. I do understand, but I know what you mean about getting sentimental. I really love when we’re all together! Happy Thanksgiving!
Jess Jannenga
November 20, 2018 at 10:11 amI love these colors on you too, I just love this rich fall shades, my favorite time of year for Fashion. I know what you are saying, as my nephew just turned 1, and will be traveling with my brother for the first time at Christmas,not Thanksgiving. Yes, I miss the way it used to be with Thanksgiving, it is still lovely, just different. Have a wonderful day to you as well. xx

November 20, 2018 at 8:49 amThat knit sweater’s really cute and it’s such a great color for you. It’s so frustrating isn’t it, when it just rains and rains. I ended up doing a blog post of me out there with my rain coat a few months ago because it just wouldn’t stop raining.

November 20, 2018 at 7:47 amJess, this outfit is so fabulous! I cannot get over how adorable that sweater is. And the fit is perfection. And then those fun jeans and those spectacular boots! All around so, so good! I hear you about getting more sentimental as we get older. As my family diminishes I definitely cherish the time spent with my husband’s family more and more with each passing season. I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

November 20, 2018 at 4:27 amWell yo are in fact the Queen of Poshmark so I stand by that title! Ha! Oh my gosh Jess, this is so beautiful on you! That sweater is to die for! I love it on you. Anthro pieces are so unusual and unique. The scarf is perfection around your neck – I can never tie one properly and look silly in them. But you, you own this look. But those tulip hem jeans – I have been wanting a pair for a long time, Andrea got a cute pair at TJMaxx for $20 and I have not been able to find a pair! How did I miss these from Loft? Oh my goodness, I have to get on the ball. Loved reading about Thanksgiving too, you all will have a nice one this year despite not being with your family and then Christmas will be amazing!
Beautiful friend, you look fantastic in this gorgeous fall outfit, perfect for the holiday!
xo,
