what are you wearing on thanksgiving?

I am going to my brother and sil's house where I will see family I haven't
seen in 10+ years.
don't know what to wear.
options:
nice jeans, heels and a nice off shoulder sweater with a cami tank
underneath!
nicer pants and a tee with either heels or low heeled boots
a cool marc jacobs skirt paired with a sweater ( cranberry double breasted
wool l/s number ) with a tank underneath. or a great top. I think i have
one to match in a workable color
would wear tights with this

Don't look to me for inspiration. I was considering a tan pair of dress
slacks (from Dress Barn) with a patterned sheer crepe 3/4 length sleeve
blouse (black, tan, brown, and cream). Gathering at mom's and my brother
will be there whom I haven't seen in 20 years. But.....it is supposed to be
80 degrees and rainy, thus very humid here tomorrow, so I may revise that to
something a lot less covering, like a dress with flat slip–ons (no
particular one in mind at this point). Cofarb, I'm sure you're weather
doesn't agree at all with my assessment!

Very casual here as it is just the two of us plus our doggies.
I was chuckling last week as the Vegas newspaper talked about turkey
preparations and related a few funny phone– in calls to the turkey hotline.
One caller wanted to know which part of the turkey goes into the oven first,
is is the feet?? lol
Another caller wanted to know if he should turn up the heat on the electric
blanket because it wasn't baking the turkey at all. The response was: keep the
electric blanket on the bed.

Now, you'll have to ask "what color?" won't you? There are some orange

A disposable sterile Graves or Pederson speculum would be dandy if
you're insisting on stuffing the inside of the turkey. <grin/duck>

I'll be wearing what I always wear:
* Chef's Revival faded indigo denim chef's jacket
* Gap VERY faded (mostly because it's...@#$%ing ancient) indigo baseball cap
* Gap #10––oh, how this cut is deeeeeeeply missed!––khaki carpenter jeans
* LL Bean athletic socks
* Polo luggage tan "faux" hiking boots (that is, they'd probably fall apart
were I ever insane enough to take them hiking–– which'd presuppose I'd be
insane enough to hike, but I digress––but they are monumentally comfortable for
the task of standing and cooking for about 6 hours straight)

I'm attending two celebrations tomorrow. First we'll have an early dinner with
a cousin of The Engineer (he's lost both his parents and has no siblings, so
these are the people he's closest to from his family). Then we'll stop in to
see some friends of mine, one of whom will have his dad down for dinner. I'm
anxious to see my friend as he lost his mom 2 weeks ago. After that we'll
drive over the Blue Ridge for the rest of the weekend. I'm not cooking this
year (apart from some corn pudding we'll make tonight) for the first time in
many years, and I'm feeling a little sad about that, but it'll also be nice to
be a guest.
The first dinner is casual (read: jeans) and the second is smart casual. I
was thinking about wearing this denim skirt I have––long, straight, with deep
slits on each side––but I never know what kind of hose to wear. Pnatyhose is
out since the denim dictates casual hose––tights––but I'm not sure if I like
the black tights with the blue skirt.
So I may just elect to go with my black knee length demin skirt which has a
black velvet and gold tapestry insert down the front and around the waist and a
black cotton johnny collar shirt or turtleneck. I won't really have a chance
to decide until tomorrow.

We're having Thanksgiving lunch with 80 nursing home residents and their
families. The nursing home has a great cook who does a wonderful job of
holiday meals, serving the traditional. We're going there instead of having
Mom here because she no longer assists in transfers and it's too dangerous to
try to lift her. For this I will probably wear a long black skirt and a
festive top, black shoes. It's an 'anything goes' type event, people will be
there in everything from shorts to Sunday best. With people from all walks of
life thrown together, it's a motley crew, and I've made great friends with some
of the residents and their families there.
Masochists that we are, we bought a small turkey to cook for the evening meal
at home, along with green beans, biscuits and salad.

to have a very nice Thanksgiving celebration and sometimes it's just
more relaxing to be the guest instead of the cook.

We're headed down to the tree lighting here after dinner (which shall be held
around 1:30 or so so we can leave in time for a good spot at the mall).

The turkey breast goes in an oven bag, less mess. The messiest thing I
do is the deviled eggs, but I can do that this evening along with the
pie. Our whole Thanksgiving is designed for speed and ease which is
why I use Stove Top stuffing and a box of Kraft noodles with sauce and
don't do them from scratch.
So actually it's not much work except in the last half hour before the
turkey is done.

lighting. My attire for today:
For cooking throughout the day–
Long sleeved white tee
Taupe cashmere lounge pants
Black slip–on yoga shoes (They're as comfortable as bare feet, but provide a
bit of track so I don't fall in the kitchen!)
For the parade:
Gray deep v shawl cardigan
Pink silk beaded cami underneath
Gray/pink tweed pants
Brown mid–heel knee length boots
Pink wool knee length "lady–like" coat
For dinner and the tree lighting:
White cashmere cardigan
Taupe cotton cami
Taupe/olive textured pants
Black round toe t–strap heels
Black satin finish knee length coat
I don't usually go through so many costume changes, but today was a special

baseball jersey, and I'll be lucky to convince DH to wear jeans
instead of his ratty shorts, and a polo shirt instead of his undertee.
Mom will be wearing a pair of slacks and a heavy sweater (because,
while the rest of us will be hot, she'll be freezing); Dad will be in
jeans and a polo shirt. In keeping with their style of dress, I'll
probably wear a pair of stretch boot cut jeans (faded wash), grungy
tee shirt, and very fluffy socks to cook; change into a lime green
double–vee 3/4 sleeve tee shirt for dinner. I do own a truly hideous

Short black skirt;

Red Wolford tights;
Black cropped cardigan––actually, even less sweater than "cropped"––maybe

Stevie, I like both. Maybe you'll have a gut sense for one over the other in

I will be in the kitchen a bit but not at my house which makes it a little
perplexing. I will definitely don my W–S blue and white striped apron. But
underneath I am not sure. It will all be family or some sort or another and
I know that most of the guests will be dressed very casually. I plan to
bring pj's in case my cousin who recently trained in Thai massage wants to
practice on me while my stomach is still empty ;)
I will go casual on the bottom (either jeans or cords probably) with
something cute and maybe slightly dressy in texture on top. I am in between
sizes now and have barely any pants/skirts that fit. All but one pair of
pants need significant heels to work :( I don't really like changing for
dinner unless I've really gotten sweaty in the kitchen but that won't happen
tomorrow.
Smokey, hope you feel better.
Carol, I plan to have pinot noir. I had white with dinner tonight, a

Aw, Smokey. It's awful when you get sick. Even worse when it happens on a
holiday. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks. I'm feeling much better now and just went for a short walk on the
beach. Plenty of time to think about how thankful I am for lots of things.
Love your day's outfits!

" SO CUTE!!!
Here's what I wore
Louis Verdad green cargo pants
an armani silk pale gray–green ls cuffed shirt with the cuffs turned back
and open collar
untucked!
deity jewels necklace twins –– grossular garnets and peridots done in green
you can see it online at www.deityjewels.com and click collections and it's
on a citrine yellow/green background.
orange jasper and green peridot drops also from deity and on the same page
donald pliner distressed boots
black coach hamptons satchel
and just in case it got cold when we left, a black nubby knit shawl
collared wrap sweater
and that's it!

It was just DH and myself at a friend's house – very relaxed, cooking
and putting together Star Wars Legos (I got the cantina scene – very cute.)
* Black scoop neck ribbed 3/4 sleeve sweater
* JJill drawstring jeans with slit ankles and velvet lace trim
* Hand knit (by moi) socks of blue with many different color accents
* Black Clarks mules
* Liz Palacios turquoise blue small flower drop earrings
* Normal jewelry

I wore a long, khaki green suede a–line skirt (Coldwater Creek), a long–sleeved
dark brown Johnny–collar top (I think it was Karen Kane), and a Burberry nova
plaid wrap because it was freezing out and I don't have a decent winter jacket
(can't find the one from last year!).
Today I ordered a decent winter jacket! (My 2 year old has the cutest
faux–suede/shearling hooded jacket from Oshkosh and the moment we got it for I
have been searching for a similar one for myself.)
