Hello Kittens!
I was meaning to post this much much sooner but as what happens sometimes life stuff gets in the way. Thankfully, it's all been the good kind of life stuff, just basic busyness of the holidays and fun with friends. Anyhow, here are some Outfits of the Day from Thanksgiving weekend!
Outfit of the Day (Thanksgiving Thursday):
On Thanksgiving Tim took me out to breakfast before the family came over for dinner. For this day's festivities I decided to wear one of my favorite Autumn dresses, my
Pinup Girl Clothing Havana Nights dress in Warm Toned Cabana Stripes which I got a couple years ago from ebay. I layered this one up for the weather that has quickly turned cold. I paired this with a black cardigan from the
Gap from several years ago, red opaque tights which I think I got from
Kohls a couple years ago, a red wool toggle coat from Target from several years ago, and a pair of basic black flats from
Zappos from a couple years ago.

Outfit of the Day (Friday):
On Friday because she couldn't make it for Thanksgiving dinner, we met up with Tim's mom for a belated Thanksgiving lunch. Later that night Tim and I went out to a Friendsgiving celebration with a bunch of his friends from high school.
For this day, I decided to take the wiggle challenge proposed by fellow blogger Emily from
Thoroughly Modern Emily. As it turns out I actually completely missed her
wiggle week which she did the week of 11/19-11/25, and since I'm also posting this super late, I really missed her wiggle week by a lot! Anyhow, I did want to get on board with her challenge of embracing the wiggle and trying to be more comfortable in our own skin and so I picked a wiggle to wear for this day. This
Stop Staring Edie dress in black plaid has been sitting in my closet for ages now-- though not from lack of love for it. I got this dress a few years ago from a local vintage reproduction shop,
Vintage Alley. I paired this with a hand knit orange short sleeved cardigan I got last year from another somewhat local vintage reproduction shop,
23 Skidoo. For extra warmth I also paired this with some fleece lined opaque black tights from Target from last year and though I didn't picture it here, I did end up wearing my red wool toggle coat from Target over this and as is my usual, for comfort, I wore a pair of basic black flats which I got several years ago from
Zappos.

Outfit of the Day (Saturday):
On Saturday I went out with a friend to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! As I saw another friend from facebook do, I decided to be super festive and go in theme to the event! Trying to put together an outfit that seemed to fit the stylistic theme of the movie I wore my
Trashy Diva Ashley top in Wine Dots (recently
re-released in a different version earlier last week!), paired with a black swing skirt from Steady which I think I got from
Unique Vintage from several years ago, brown sweater tights from
Target from last year, and a beige wrap wool shawl coat also from Target from a couple years ago. For finishing touches (which I feel really make the outfit) I wore a black asymmetric cloche hat from
Nordstrom Rack from a couple years ago and a pair of ribbon tie heels by Naya which I got from Amazon several years ago.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):
Sunday was the last day of this fun filled busy weekend and I got to continue the fun this day by going with a friend to my favorite movie theater, the historic Stanford Theater in Palo Alto. For this day I picked another wiggle dress living in my closet which I bought a couple years ago and have been trying to muster up the courage to wear-- my Bettie Page Matilda dress which I found a couple years ago on ebay. Oh how much I love the Bettie Page (now
Tatyana) designs from back in the day! Because it was absolutely necessary, I layered up this outfit to keep warm. I paired this with a vintage brown cardigan with embroidered leaves which I got a couple years ago from
Etsy, as well as a plaid cape by Mono B which I got a couple years ago from
Modcloth. For a finishing touch I also wore a pair of polka dot tights from
Nordstrom Rack from a couple years ago, a pair of brown houndstooh flats from the Gap Outlet from several years ago, and a brown fedora from
TJ Maxx from last year.
