THANKSGIVING WISHFUL THINKING WEARDROBE



i'm a vegetarian and i rarely am allowed to make anything besides a side dish for thanksgiving at my mom's house. so i like to just kick back, relax, catch up with family and dress sassy, yet comfortable so i can not only chase around the newest little members of my extended fam but hide my post-dinner food baby as well.

these items have been endlessly taunting me on my pinterest 'wanted' board. so i thought i would vicariously coordinate my thanksgiving outfit with those items and hopefully work some of that lust out of my system. people, especially friends, not just randoms off the street, ask me for fashion advice. i honestly don't really have any besides: be different but be you.

i don't follow trends. i just don't. i like to be comfortable but above all, i really value being unique and being true to myself. i like items that feel like treasure. and to me that means they are or remind me of something that has been unearthed from the past. i love history and let's be honest, they really don't make things like they used to. rarely is something handmade by one person that spent days laboring over that one piece. i appreciate that attention to detail.

hence why i built this entire outfit around that odd fellows jacket. i'm asking for it for christmas...so please don't buy it - haha! but no, seriously, please don't buy it. okay, okay. the shoes were next - holy cow do they transport me back in time. but they're actually modern and available at modcloth for only $45! yes please! i could talk your ear off about the rest of the items but honestly, it would become a novel on here. so go, browse - seek out these new treasures.

what would your perfect thanksgiving outfit entail??
