Hair on the loose and a care free Turkey Day!

So this is what I wore when DH and I went out for Thanksgiving dinner. No crazy family tension, or dishes to do just upside

Today was a good hair day! I needed something to go with my red black and white outfit. As you know this season I have been in love with berry tones (including red). Tonight was no exception. I decided to let the jacket be the star and added in supporting accents (hair, tights, necklace, red shoes). This outfit was inspired by this one. I am wearing the same long sleeved tee shirt and skirt. I kind of like these pieces as a foundation to build upon. I realized it has become a kind of uniform. I am wearing:

Old Navy long sleeve black tee
Banana Republic black stretch twill pencil skirt
Black House White Market red velvet jacket
Simply Vera Wang lace tights
Madden Girl dark red pumps

OH BOY. You look so FAB. That outfit is catwalk - worthy!!

Adelfa

Wow, what a stunning holiday outfit! And I love your lipstick. Isn't it amazing not to have crazy family tension? I didn't have any today either, just a nice time with friends.

Vildy

Wow from me, too. I'll bet your husband's thankful he can sit at the table and gaze at you!

Adelfa - Absolutely, the last time we dealt with family there was a huge brouhaha, I cooked for 12 hours (no help -- surprise!) and we had a family member disappear in the night (on her own volition -- dramatic as usual!). I was happy to have a pleasant server and a wonderful experience!

Anne - I totally felt cat-walk worthy.

Joy

You look so glamorous. You need to repeat this outfit during the holidays.
Mr Day Vies must be thankful that he's married to a beautiful brilliant woman.

Beth Ann

Holy Turkey Day! What a stunning look. Most of us are in cozy sweaters and slippers, either covered in flour or wrapped in a dish towel. Meanwhile......in glamour land.......

Hope your evening was beautiful and lovely!

Deborah

Just fell of my chair and had to pick my jaw up to! You look amazingly stunning DV. The fit of the jacket and colour is made for you. And your hair is so perfect.

deb

WOW, you look Fab!

Caro in Oz

One of my favourites ever. The cut & texture of the jacket & your hair are totally fab. Glad you had a great time

Ah Beth Ann, I had to pause my Scandal Marathon just to read your comment to DH. Glamourland indeed!

Deborah -- coming from someone whose style I admire as much as your that means a lot to me -- thank you!

Joy - I think I'll be repeating this often it's a good formula for me. I have 2 more red black and white outfits for the season. I can't wait to wear them.

Sharon

OMG, totally gorgeous! You look like a model.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but Christmas is usually the big family get-together. After a situation similar to the one you described, my husband made a rule: only one crazy family member in the house at a time. (The sane ones are fine, but put the crazy ones together and there WILL be trouble!) Works like magic - peaceful gatherings ever since.

Marley

So absolutely gorgeous - I can hardly stand it! That color is divine on you! And, I love, love, love your hair! Beautiful woman!

Sharon that is an EXCELLENT rule! One crazy family member at a time :-D!

I mean... really woman! This post must have a warning sign before opening the photos.

You are right - have the right base and the rest just follows. Amazing example of how swapping a few pieces can create completely different look and still be so very you. And just how stunning the outfits created around one star piece can be.

Btw, your hair is amazing. The way you work it in so many creative ways deserves a standing ovation on its own.

LOVE saturated colours on you, and this outfit is no different!

rute

You look stunning! Fabulous lipstick and jacket! Red is your color!

Sizzling! I love the velvet jacket on you against the black skirt and top with the pop of the red pumps and matching lipstick. But I do think it's the textured lace tights that add that element of surprise that is so fascinating.

Debra

Another WOW......you look fantastic

You look so amazing, you take my breath away. Happy Thanksgiving.

You look gorgeous.

Emily

You look spectacular!

Windchime

You intended for your jacket to be the star, but YOU are the star. You look fabulous! I love the jacket, the tights, your hair and lipstick. Glad you and DH had a tranquil Thanksgiving Day.

carter

Gorgeous!

Jaime

Your hair - and the rest of you - looks fantastic!

Momo

Wow! You are sizzling! Love it all. Great stockings!

Suz

WOW! This is full out glamour! You look sensational. I love the rich red of the jacket on you, its sumptuous texture, and the lacy hose combined with the shiny shoes. The necklace is a pop of bright. And your hair is just gorgeous. I hope you will repeat this over the holidays!

You should have put a warning in your title or introductory comments. You are breath-taking! Seeing these photos might be dangerous for someone who spent a stressful day yesterday, cooking for hours, dealing with family tensions, and eating too much.

You look great! I love those tights! No cooking or cleaning sounds fabulous to me (although I had an excuse this year to get out of the clean-up - the baby needed to be fed).
