Holiday Style Series {Casual Gathering}

I am so thrilled to be teaming up with two very stylish bloggers for a holiday link-up series! For the next six weeks, we will be featuring a theme that will showcase our personal style during the most festive time of year.

The first theme? Casual holiday gathering. I am choosing to show you girls what I wore to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. And yes, I actually did wear this!

Wearing: Aryn K. jacket (old), Express blouse (similar), Loft modern skinny jeans (on sale today), J Crew pumps, Chanel bag, Baublebar bracelet

I've had this Aryn K. jacket for years, but have neglected it for awhile due to signs of wear and tear. I looked at it sadly hanging in my closet and decided it was high time to give it another chance. I love the feminine ruffles along the front, and it paired perfectly with my favorite blouse and cobalt pumps. Not exactly your traditional Thanksgiving day garb (I think last year I wore maroon and cognac). I just wanted to go for something different, and I think it worked :)

Be sure to check out these fabulous ladies On the daily Express and More pieces of me. Stay tuned for another holiday themed look next week.

Current Cravings

On the eve before Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share just a few of my (current) favorite things. I say current because let's face it, they are always changing! However, this is just in time for Black Friday, and maybe this will give you some gift ideas.

1. Burgundy/cranberry/crimson/wine/oxblood

Just a hint of the burgundy lips I've been seeing everywhere.

Husband and I have been together for almost 8 years, but now that we are married, the vibe around our home is a little different. More romantic shall we say, and we have really been enjoying putting up some new decor.  Pinterest is still my best friend when it comes to ideas. We are even buying our first Christmas tree this weekend!

3. The Naked 3 Palette is on my wish-list!

The rosy tones look gorgeous!

6. Decorating With Wedding Photos

I honestly could go on and on about my current loves, but I think this gives you a good picture! I am taking the rest of the week off to spend more time with loved ones, but I will be back on Monday with a special post! I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am thankful for each and every one of you, and I really mean that. As always, thank you for reading :)

Work It

Wearing: Express portofino shirt, Banana Republic Skirt, Nine West pumps, Nordstrom scarf (similar), Michael Kors watch

Most people dress up for work, and then go completely casual on the weekends. I do the opposite! I don't have the chance to wear heels and pencil skirts, opting for flats and jeans instead. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I work with kids and do a lot of commuting. I guess I can't complain really. My mornings are very easy because I don't have to put much thought into what I'm going to wear. However, I often miss dressing up! When the weekends come and most people want to throw on sweat pants, I want to throw on a pair of pumps! It's my only chance to wear the clothes I truly love. This pencil skirt was featured on one of my favorite bloggers, and I ordered it right away. I think I'm obsessed, and I plan on working it off the clock :)
