Here's an outfit from the weekend before Thanksgiving. I wore this outfit on Friday and Saturday, just with a different shirt and shoes! What can I say, this sweater is comfy! Plus I was sleeping over my aunt's house and didn't want to bring two full outfits.

(and no, my hair is not greasy, it's just wet from showering. I never blow-dry my hair so occasionally I have to take my pictures with wet hair)

Top: Altuzarra for Target, Sweater: J.Crew (Roundabout Resale), Jeans: Michael Kors (Marshalls), Boots: Eighteen68 'Megan' (Gilt),  Sunglasses c/o Glasses Shop

Would you believe me if I told you I never owned a quilted jacket until now?  I just never got around to buying one, so when Joules asked me what products from their site I wanted to test drive, this quilted hooded jacket was at the top of the list! I also picked out a really cute pair of wellies for days when I want a bit more whimsy in my rain gear.

Winter is on the horizon (okay, we still have a couple weeks to go, but the weather is certainly veering in that direction) and Joules has an amazing selection of jackets, dresses, rain boots and faux fur pieces, perfect for your Winter wardrobe. Their children's clothing is also making me wish I had kids to dress: SO adorable! Just look at how cute this little boy's fox sweater is.

See how I styled both my new pieces below!

Look #1: Womens Quilted Hooded Jacket in Burgundy c/o Joules, Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Saks Off 5th), Jeans: Free People, Boots: Zigi Soho (DSW)


Look #2: Womens Print Rain Boot Wellies in Purple Painty Pheasant c/o Joules, Sweater: Madewell (Shopbop), Jeans: Genetic Denim c/o Piperlime & Lucky, Necklace: House of Harlow c/o South Moon Under

Here is my second Thanksgiving outfit featuring my leather pants! I wore this for my Thanksgiving #2!  This Marc Jacobs top I bought at the outlets was a perfect match for the pants so, of course, I had to switch up my original outfit! I had previously planned to wear my crazy printed Balenciaga pants with my black Witchery sweater, so that outfit will have to wait it's turn! I realized way too late that I probably got a size too big in the sweater, oh well, at least I like things loose fitting!

Top: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Saks Off 5th), Leather Pants: Madewell, Watch c/o Movado, Necklace c/o Marrin Costello, Heels: Manolo Blahnik (Roundabout Resale)

As of this past Friday I have been in full Christmas mode! We got our family tree on Friday (photos coming soon) and I decorated my house with my fake tree! Let the 24 hour Christmas music listening and movie watching commence! BUT first, I have to share my Thanksgiving outfits!

Originally I had planned on wearing two different pairs of pants for each of my Thanksgiving celebrations. But after outlet shopping with Lydia I wanted to wear one of my new purchases with the leather pants but didn't want to forgo the other outfit I had planned, since I've been waiting MONTHS to wear it, seriously.  So it turned into a one piece two ways situation!

So, here we go with outfit one featuring my Madewell leather pants! They were originally $598, but I bought them in one of Madewell's extra 40% off clearance items sales so I paid a little over $100 for them. Still a lot, but I've been wanting leather pants for quite some time.

You'll also see I wore my new Mulungi Collection clutch [learn more about it here]! It came the day before our gathering and went perfectly with my outfit, so I had to wear it right away! 

Leather Pants: Madewell, Top: Equipment (sample sale), Sweater: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor), Belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls), Pumps: Coach 'Nacie' (Marshalls), Necklace: Marrin Costello (not available yet),  Clutch: Mulungi Collection c/o S.O.U.L. Foundation

My favorite sale of the year started yesterday! The NET-A-PORTER End of Season Sale! Some of my favorite pieces have been purchased in this sale each year, from my adorable mini pink Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (which was part of my first ever order from them) to printed Burberry Prorsum loafers.

Here is my system, which I've clued you guys in on a few times before, but it bears repeating. On the first day of the sale I go through every item and add anything I like to my cart, not matter what the price.  After everything I like is in my cart I let it sit there, slowly items sell out and I go through and get rid of things I definitely won't wear. I also try to wait until the final reductions, which come in a few weeks. This is risky, but also good for my wallet.

If an item I have been lusting over for a long time shows up in the sale I may purchase it in the first round, but that is rare. Last year I bought my Burberry loafers at the beginning, and good thing too, because they sold out. So there is always an exception to the rule!

I am currently debating the Miu Miu slingbacks that I've wanted for quite some time since they are selling out quickly. At the time I am writing this post (mid-day Monday) I haven't broken down, but who knows what will happen by the morning! I also want the cardigan and jeans featured in that post but will resist them for now!
