Thanksgiving Fashion

10 Replies

Since “What I Wore Sunday “at Fine Linen and Purple is so fun, Grace decided to host a “What I wore Thanksgiving” and of course, I am dropping in.  Now I won’t hold it against Grace that she had a totally PRE-planned outfit all put together for her cutie preggo self and since I love seeing what everyone else is in AND how they take their photos, especially whilst wrasslin’ younguns in the process….I’m joining in….although Thanksgiving is a long day……(be sure to check them out in your tryptophan induced haze…I certainly am!)

Morning attire. Need. Coffee. PJs, robe and slippers. Need to start the turkey….

You know you looked like this, too! Post a.m. “pre-turkey feast” walk in my cozy pants and thermal and then topped off with my favorite apron by Brite…ready to wrangle the vittles!!

Amazingly suckered the oldest into becoming my photographer for this one!! Long skirt and shirt from Kohl’s and belt to tie in the shirt a bit. Tank from Wally world.

Super comfy slide wedge shoes from Kohl’s with painted tootsies!

Love this necklace and the dear friend who gave it to me!

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all, hope it was festive and delicious and awesome!!

Pinterest: Finally a success

7 Replies

This picture inspired me, I mean….caramel apples=yum!  They’re just kinda messy and awkward, this looked “doable”.

This Pinterest photo removed the alcohol from the original, so I chose this one.

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest.  Apparently you need some kind of serious “attention-to-detail” gene and I might be missing that.  Whatevs.  Either way, I am completely inspired by Pinterest and in the next few weekend Hubby and I are going to tackle an outdoor project off Pinterest…(post to come, I’m sure), but as far as fancy food work…meh….I’m at 50/50 right now.  Prior to the apples we had the following disaster…..

Prior Pinterest debacle….

What it was “supposed” to look like…

The weather was fab last night, Hubby got the fire pit going, we had dogs on the grill, marshmallows over the fire, I figured we’d give this caramel apple deal a whirl.  Overall not bad….sadly, Pinterest only shows the pretty.  I’m here to show you the REALZIE.  Enjoy & have a great day!!

I don’t have a corer (and don’t send me one…I have an apple slicer and that’s great…for this a paring knife was fine to removed the core and then I scooped a little of the apple out of the middle to make a reservoir for the caramel sauce.

Bubble, bubble boil and trouble…THIS recipe was O. My. Goodness. Reason to wear stretchy pants #3001…

Cutie pie sous chef

That’s right. Guts of the apple. Pinterest doesn’t show you this!!

Fill ’em up. I used a muffin pan to keep them level and catch some of my spillage

Set them in the fridge for a bit and then slice with a sharp, wet knife. Voila!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I wore Sunday…Take 2

17 Replies

Fashion Sunday with Fine Linen and Purple.  It was so much fun last week, I thought I’d do it again!!  I don’t know how many I’ll do because my Sunday outfits are generally same-same, maybe mix it up; then repeat cycle again, it’s all new here, right?  I also managed to get my 9 year old to take my full photo….1/6, not too bad-ish.

I am a Poser. Shirt Apt. 9 @ Kohl’s.  Years ago…my “basic” white shirt, but I LOVE the criss cross, gather.  No fun to iron…but love the look!

Lined skirt (still needs a slip). Chaps by Ralph Lauren…on super clearance @ Koh’s YEARS ago…..I think like $7….

Shoes. Unisa. @ Parisian??  So old I can’t remember…emphasis on the (blurry) heel which Hubby just took to the cobbler and had a new one put on…JOY!!!

Earrings. Gift from Hubby. Local jeweler. My everyday faves.

Necklace. A gift from the kids years ago. Super fun. Lost one of the earrings 😦

Another Lia Sophia…love this ring, wear it every chance I get!!

Cross bracelet a gift from a girlfriend years ago…..So fun. I feel all jingly when I wear this. And trendy.

boy driving home from church. Great job, BTW….Volcom shirt…score @ church thrift store $1 and Old Navy khaki shorts off Ebay…$10….

What I wore Sunday….

Today I’m joining in @ Fine Linen and Purple for a wrap up of what a bunch of lovely ladies wore to church on Sunday.  So yes, this would be a “church lady fashion” post…sooooooo if you’re not interested…move on until tomorrow 😉

Sunday Mass is my one day of the week where I can dress up.  All week-long I wear scrubs and sneakers and although the Sunday Mass shoes don’t always feel so great due to the constant sneaker wearing….I gladly suffer.

I’ll just say that I don’t enjoy “selfies”, but I took one for the team and gave you a few.  I even included some closeups of jewelry and such (inspired by Dwija @ House Unseen).  Without further adieu….my FIRST “What I wore Sunday”:

Apparently the lighting in my room (excuse Hubby’s work mess…) gave me a shiny mustache….so I figured if you’re going to have a mustache might as well go big.

Dana Buchman. Kohl’s. A little higher heel than I usually go for, but super cute!

Lia Sophia…my favorite ring, about 5 years old…SO worth hosting the jewelry party for.

another Lia Sophia piece from hosting ANOTHER show.

My early Christmas present from my friend, Amanda. It’s a “Thirty-One” metro bag, it’s so roomy, I love it!!

I needed my bag to hold my change of clothes to walk in AFTER Mass while the girls were at Religious Ed/Faith Formation/CCD…I really wish they’d stop changing the name…

Because it was a BEAUTIFUL morning for a walk!!!

Here’s one without the mustache. And you can see the fluffy and fun neckline on my Koh’s tank-top, covered with my black (yes, Kohl’s) cardigan.
