Have you ever been to a leftovers party? Picture a potluck of Thanksgiving leftovers and games, with your friends, since yesterday was spent with relatives.
My outfit (that’s me on the right, but dd’s outfit is so cute I made her be in the picture too):
- Old Gap jeans. I paid $1 at the thrift store. As usual, I am wearing silk “pants” under.
- Old merino wool turtleneck, originally clearance at JCPenney.
- Gotta love the burgundy quilted jacket with corduroy trim. $10 at the “Eddie (Bauer) Outlet”. It’s too “classic” for my style, I wear it as a costume. Alot.
- My practical shoes.
- Yay! My birthday belt came today!
Something else to be thankful for: the ladies bought us Apples to Apples
Great outfits! I haven’t commented in SO long, but I’m still reading! I find your blog so helpful.
We’ve been to a leftover/game night before, and it was really fun! Thanks for the reminder… we’ll have to try it again sometime.
What do you mean when you call your jacket a “costume?”
Thanks Beck!
Jennifer, what I meant by wearing my jacket as a costume is kind of a subjective thing:
When I wear it, I am playing dress-up. I feel as if I am dressing up as someone more traditional than myself, and I only feel comfortable wearing it under certain circumstances. Fortunately, in my life anyway, those circumstances occur alot (low-key leisure event, with family or friends who are pretty traditional …)
Did that make any sense?
Ah, yes, perfect sense!
And Apples to Apples is a great game! Great for the kids too!
I love Apples to Apples! My friends come up with the weirdest stuff in that game…
