Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you and your family the happiest Thanksgiving! 

We're stepping away for the remainder of the week to spend 

with family and hope that you can do the same. Eat plenty of

turkey and be sure to check back Monday for a special

Cyber Monday deal!

The weekend is here! It's always a busy one making the final

preparations for Thanksgiving, getting your grocery shopping

done early, outfit planning, etc. (and packing for those that have

to travel). Wherever your holiday travels take you whether near

or far, have a safe weekend! Check back next week as we switch

to holiday mode...

Be a Gracious Guest

We talked about what to wear to Thanksgiving lunch/dinner

yesterday. Today, let's go over a little bit of etiquette. 

First things first, do not show up empty handed if you're over the

age of 22. If you're in high school or home from college, you

get a pass on this one. Anyone out of college and living on their

own should have the good graces to bring something. Anything

will do. You can buy it. You don't have to make it from scratch. 

But by all means, bring something. 

Secondly, if you're going to a friendly gathering, a distant relative's house, 

or trying to make a great first impression on your significant other's family, 

bring a hostess gift. This should be a given, but it is so commonly 

overlooked. Pick up a pretty bouquet of fresh flowers, grab a candle

at a local gift shop, or pick out a nice bottle of wine. But, again, don't

show up without something for the host(s). 

Lastly, the things that should be unspoken but we might need a 

friendly reminder of as we enter into the holiday season: don't be

that guest that's over served. Take it slow. Thanksgiving especially

is a long day. You have to make it to dinner time. Don't be on your 

phone the whole time. Be present. And most importantly, be comfortable! 

When you wear something that you're not comfortable in you will most likely 

be fidgety the entire time. 

You got this!

What to Wear... to Thanksgiving

The countdown is on... while the day after Halloween is usually the kick

off for Christmas in my family, we have one holiday getting in the way.

Thanksgiving is one week away! The question remains (and is a stresser

every year), what to wear?? You want to be comfortable while you indulge

in absolutely everything you avoid every other day of the year. It's a day of

good food and good family time, so what's the happy medium of looking

cute while still being able to participate should a backyard flag football game 

be proposed? 

In my family, we keep it casual. I stick to some sort of jeans and a trendy

sweater combo. Throw on boots, booties or a statement flat and call it

a day. Thank goodness looser jeans are in this season... that second piece

of pecan pie is definitely happening.

Remember, a family photo is definitely going to happen, so don't wear 

something you'll already regret next year.
