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!

That dress is really pretty on you! I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! I've never heard of the safety pin trick. I need to try that next time!
ReplyDeleteThe safety pin trick dos work a bit - it helps to ground the fabric and give the static a place to go - but I think with all the walking around I was doing the static was just building up - so I needed to go with a dryer sheet!
DeleteWe had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.
Thanks for stopping by!

Such a cute dress and it looks great belted! I had never heard of the safety pin trick before, thanks for sharing! I'll need to keep that in mind when I'm back to wearing tights in winter!
