8 thanksgiving outfits

Thanksgiving is the most important day in the American tradition, however between football all day, food prep, and leftovers there’s little effort left for dress up.  Some choose loose or expanding clothes since most likely we’ll all end up in a post-dinner food coma.  Nevertheless, it’s always worth to make an extra effort to dress up and cheer up, so in that spirit, I have compiled a roundup of 8 chic thanksgiving outfits from semi-casual to more dressy and if need be wearing an apron…

Is it just me, or is there something amazingly and overwhelmingly happy in the Christmas spirit?  We just came back from our son’s School Christmas presentation, and it was nothing short of watching angels singing Christmas carols.  As a designer, I can appreciate the importance of the visual, but when it comes to Christmas, I think that what you listen to is as equal if not more important than what you look at.  Christmas kettles on the streets of New York city, 106.7 repertoires of Christmas songs all day long while watching the snow coming down, the sound of chestnuts roasting on the fire, all those experiences would not evoke the same sentiment within us if there were silence.  There is no music in this post, but there are a bunch of beautiful Christmas decoration images for those of you who are still in the process of decorating and seeking inspiration for your Holiday decor. Enjoy!

I’m very excited about Thanksgiving this year because my sister from Virginia is coming over and spending it with us.  I’m accumulating as much images of Thanksgiving decor as I can for inspirations and ideas to decorate around the house.  The Holidays are for decorators what Candyland is for kids.  The decorating, the planning process and the anticipation of having a great time with loved is overwhelmingly energizing.
