Last week I shared one of my Thanksgiving outfits. Today I'm sharing what I wore for our small Thanksgiving celebration with my immediate family (plus my sister-in-law's brother!) I wanted to wear these super old pants because I haven't work them in years. My statement-making Saint Laurent patchwork blouse was the perfect match along with purple Proenza Schouler pumps that do not get enough wear. They also happen to match my Prada bag. I ended up taking the blouse off fairly quickly after arriving because I didn't want my brother's puppy (he's 2) to ruin it. Gotta be careful with Saint Laurent!
P.S. I am SHOCKED I was able to find a pair of these pants to share in this post. I almost didn't bother searching because they're so old.
Blazer: Sandro burgundy double breasted blazer (Roundabout Resale) - whoever owned it before me changed out the buttons to match
Pants: Glo
Purple Suede Pumps: Proenza Schouler (Roundabout Resale)
Bag: Purple Prada Cahier in Viola (Rebag via Vestiaire Collective)
Necklace: Endless Pearl Station Necklace in rose gold c/o AurateThis was the first time in a few years Christian and I were able to attend the "extended family" Thanksgiving. Last year we were doing the runDisney 5K and the two years before we were in Missouri. I know it gets warm during large gatherings so I decided to brave the chill in the air and wear a sleeveless dress. Luckily this purple Greylin coat is super warm so it kept me toasty to and from the car (ha ha.)

Thanksgiving look number two! Although, technically, this was the first one I wore. This was my outfit on actual Thanksgiving day at my parents. We had a small gathering with just the immediate family. Then on Saturday we went to my Aunt's for a slightly larger celebration.
I was surprised to realize I haven't worn this Saint Laurent blouse and burgundy velvet skit together before. Both of these have been holiday staples over the years so it was only natural to finally pair them. Also broke out one of my favorite pair of shoes for the first time in quite a while.
Blouse: Saint Laurent silk patchwork blouse (eBay)
Peep-Toe Boots*: Alexander Wang suede Freja boot in brick red (The Outnet)
Skirt: LC Lauren Conrad Velvet Pleated Skirt c/o Kohl's
Purse: Wink & Winn (giveaway, no longer in business)
Necklace: Olive Branch Pearl Stilvi Necklace, bought in Santorini
*Note: There was a version of these boots made for an H&M collaboration a few years after I bought mine so make sure you're getting actual high end ones if you want to recreate this look in the same quality. Or if you want a budget version, go for the H&M pair, just make sure you don't overpay for those! (I noticed one site had the H&M boots listed for almost $400)
I've had a version of this outfit saved as a photo on my phone since 2017 (was one of my options for this trip to the pumpkin patch) and FINALLY wore it. I just never had (what seemed like) the right occasion. This year I decided to wear it for Thanksgiving! In my original idea I had a plain black long sleeve shirt and different black boots but I switched it with a v-neck and over the knee boots. My original boots were more durable for walking around the pumpkin patch but since I'd just be hanging out inside I could switch it up!
It was probably not the smartest choice for a day full of eating, though. The shorts are high waisted and very tight with not much give so they're not great for sitting. Or eating tons of turkey. But, hey, at least I looked good!
Of course it was SUPER cold and windy when we took these photos. So pardon if I look frozen.
