Outfit Inspiration | November 17, 2015

What Are You Wearing to Thanksgiving?

Nordstrom Free People 'Ventura' High/Low Thermal TopAre you needing some outfit inspiration for the week of Thanksgiving? Well, I found a really pretty poncho and the most perfect top for leggings to wear during the Thanksgiving break. I found them both in the Free People section of Nordstrom after they asked me to check it out. Did you know that Nordstrom started carrying Free People? What I like specifically about Nordstrom’s Free People selection is that their buyers have chosen practical items. I love Free People, but some of their pieces can be a bit too revealing, fussy, and short for my taste. That’s why I was so happy to find this must have leggings top in Nordstrom’s collection -it’s just my speed! If you’ve been a long time reader then you already know this, but I am somewhat obsessive about being comfortable while traveling (too many stomach aches from tight waistbands). This Thanksgiving we are driving up to Dallas. It’s a four hour car ride with kids, so I need to be comfy (am I right, or am I right?). That means leggings and a super soft top. Oh, and sneakers that are easy to slide on and off.Nordstrom Free People 'Ventura' High/Low Thermal TopI love the extra details in this shirt, which make it more than just a regular legging t-shirt. For instance, the knit changes from waffle to ribbed in various places. I also like that the neckline is not too low and not too high!Nordstrom Free People 'Ventura' High/Low Thermal TopObviously I love the fact that the shirt covers both the front and back, but I really like that it comes up on the sides. This allows the front to hit at the right place on the leg, which avoids the horizontal line at the hips. I also love the extra detail of a swoop hem in the front and the square hem in the back.
Nordstrom Free People 'Ventura' High/Low Thermal TopYup, I bought another pair of sneakers. Ahhhhhhh! I couldn’t help myself, they are high tops, and they are leopard! Yes and yes! Cool squared. (Or maybe the fact that I just said cool squared is quite dorky-ha!)
Nordstrom Free People 'Ventura' High/Low Thermal TopOh, and not to worry my colorful friends (Kathryn I’m talking to you), this top comes in a TON of different COLORS!

Nordstrom Free People 'Be the One' Fringe PonchoNow that we’ve covered the travel outfit, what are you going to wear on Thanksgiving day?!?! Here is what I’ll be wearing. Of course I’ll have on “The Best Fitting Grey Jeans“, because they are super comfy and make me look like I have a butt! I got inspired by my friend who recently wore her grey jeans with her cognac Rag and Bone booties (I posted about it on FB). I thought she looked adorable, so I copied!Nordstrom Free People 'Be the One' Fringe PonchoWith this colorful, fun, boho-y poncho, a big J. Lo hoop and bangles felt just right.Nordstrom Free People 'Be the One' Fringe PonchoTruth be told, while I’m in the kitchen with the girls getting dinner ready, I will not be in these booties or the poncho (fire hazard and fall hazard -ha!). I will always remember my aunt making the meal, and about 15 minutes before company arrived, she would go in her room and change into her nice clothes (never jeans, but she has started to allow it in recent years). That’s exactly what I’ll be doing here. Just like her, I’ll be completely ready in my jeans, flat booties, and a t-shirt, and right before the company comes, I’ll throw on my poncho and change my shoes (maybe).

Nordstrom Free People 'Be the One' Fringe PonchoWell guys, Thanksgiving is in 8 days, which is just enough time to order a little something for yourself! I hope you have happy, safe, and cozy travels, my friends. You can thank me later when your stomach is not cramping, and you have just a little more patience with your kids (and family) because you’re comfy and look cute!Nordstrom Free People 'Be the One' Fringe PonchoOutfit Links: Poncho- Free People, Jeans- Paige, Shoes- Kristen Cavallari, Earrings- Argento Vivo, Bracelets- Alex and Ani

    Are the jeans you’re wearing grey? They look denim to me, but hard to tell. Also, are the Paige jeans long enough? One reviewer said she was 5’3″ and didn’t need to hem them.
    Thanks! Love the poncho!

    I just found your blog for the first time. I love this Thanksgiving outfit! What size did you buy in the Free People poncho. I want the front to be long enough. Thank you!
