Thankful

Our Thanksgiving weekend was pretty darn good.

We had 2 nights of family dinners, lots of laughs, a, frankly, excessive amount of pies - which you would have seen pics of on my Instagram, good wine and good family time.

We had our first dinner at my sister's house with my family - an intimate family dinner for 19, and on Sunday we visited my in-laws for our traditional family dinner (16 this time, but we were missing a few). I got to meet our new niece - she's so little and perfect!

I pulled out this red shift dress that I'm pretty sure came from an Old Navy clearance rack at some point - and I didn't want the baggy-ness so I cinched the waist with a brown braided belt. My brown ankle boots, denim jacket, and some light jewellery and I was super comfortable and still dressy enough to convince my little fam to take a Thanksgiving picture. Also - this dress had plenty of room for turkey-tummy, lol.

The only issue was that I'm pretty sure I'd never worn this dress with tights/nylons before and it was SO staticky! I put a bunch of safety pins in the hem in the morning, which helped a bit, but I ended up stealing a dryer sheet from my mother-in-law and rubbing it all over the inside of the dress - that was much more effective.

I hope that everyone (in Canada) had a wonderful Thanksgiving - I certainly have a lot to be thankful for!
