For my second Thanksgiving outfit I went a little dressier but in the same color palette as our first get together. It wasn't specifically planned that way, but it worked out nicely. I was saving this skirt from my Kohl's Star Wars photoshoot for Thanksgiving because of the rich color, perfect for the occasion! It would also be good for Christmas too so maybe you'll see it again in another few weeks!

Here's the first of my Thanksgiving outfits! I went more casual for my first look, but my second outfit (which I wore on Saturday) is a bit more dressy. Both are burgundy though...imagine that. Haha!  Unfortunately I had a hair curling disaster and didn't have time to rewash my hair to leave it straight before heading over to Grandmas. Oh well, live and learn...won't be using that wand attachment again! I look like a poodle.

How is it December already?! I still feel like Halloween was yesterday but Thanksgiving has come and gone. Before I get to my two Thanksgiving outfits, here's one featuring my new cashmere sweater! I bought it with a gift card I got from returning a sweater from my birthday (it didn't fit right.)  I probably could have gotten this in an XS, but I like the looser fit, more cozy.  These faux suede pants are super soft so combining them with the cashmere was a no brainer! Super comfortable but chic at the same time, I'm sold! Plus, how can you go wrong with navy and army green?

This necklace is also new thanks to a gift card I got to Luisaviaroma at the RewardStyle NYFW party back in September. I couldn't decide on what to buy that was over the gift card amount so in the end I chose to pick up this necklace for just under $100 after a discount rather than forking over my own money for a pair of mules I liked. What can I say? I'm cheap.

I was doing such a good job this month...until Roundabout sent an email saying they were having a Chanel sale in their Greenwich location. I usually go to Westport since it's a half hour closer but for Chanel I drove the 45 minutes to check out the other location. Sadly I went on the second day of the sale so there wasn't much Chanel left (just a big oversized sweater for $300, but it wasn't unique enough to warrant spending that much money) Rather than just leaving the store I walked around since I drove all the way. I almost walked out with a pair of Stuart Weitzman calf hair leopard print pumps but then I saw a GORGEOUS green-ish purse and before I knew it I was swiping my credit card. It was double the price of the shoes, but I think it was a better purchase because I don't own many purses and have a TON of animal print shoes.

I was also bad and bought a new pair of J Brand jeans on Gilt because they had a code for 40% off AND free shipping for Black Friday, can't pass that up! I wanted another pair of high rise jeans but they were all sold out in my size so I opted for mid-rise instead.
