aritzia – Oh So Fancy Francie

Three More Thanksgiving Outfits: Part 2

Thanksgiving is just days away. If you haven’t figured out what to wear, here are three additional possibilities that you can replicate fast or simply be inspired to style from your own closet.

Outfit 1

This Aritzia chiffon button-up blouse in a lavender taupe is beautiful for any occasion, but when paired with a pewter belt and taupe booties, it’s fit for a Thanksgiving table. I love the extra sheer puff sleeve and subtle watercolor print. This top can be easily elevated with black vegan leather pants and sparkly earrings.

The photo was taken in Virginia at a winery with polo fields, just outside of Charlottesville.

For warmth, add a gray flannel double-breasted jacket:

Outfit 2

A white ruffle top dresses up any outfit whether it’s denim, faux leather pants or skirt. I like it with the oversized sherpa coat from Banana Republic. The top is Vince Camuto from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and sold out. Here is a link to a good substitute. I like the look with cropped, straight-leg jeans and taupe booties for a casual Thanksgiving.

Outfit 3

My Thanksgiving look, the slip skirt from Aritzia paired with the open edit floral top from Nordstrom. (Only the wrap style is available.) Both items have given me endless outfit possibilities, a worthwhile investment.

Three Thanksgiving Outfits: Part 1

Over the last few months, I’ve been adding fun things to my closet to mix and match for lots of occasions. Hopefully, you have too if you’ve been inspired to invite the same stylish items into your fashion lineup. I’ll show you several Thanksgiving outfits you can pull from the collection. Two items are new because, well, I couldn’t resist.

One of the new pieces is the incredible vegan leather pants from Aritzia. I first spotted the cool pants while shopping and she told me where to find them. They first made their debut last year and were such a hit Aritzia brought out more colors this year. Black is fine for me. The pants are straight leg, long or cropped. Personally, I think cropped is more stylish.

I like these pants for Thanksgiving because they give and are dark enough to hide the extra side of stuffing I might not resist. I paired them with my favorite turtleneck and styled them two ways depending on your mood.

If you want to dress it up a bit, grab the slip skirt and a cream sweater by Vince from Nordstrom, the second new item this week. The boiled cashmere is so, so soft and the mock turtleneck gives it a hip vibe. The killer booties work just fine here and are comfy enough for standing or serving.

A quick, already-in-my-closet look, the burgundy puff sleeve sweater with @motherdenium flares can be dressed up with boots and cool earrings. The top is sold out from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. The gray flannel jacket and earrings are from three years ago. Love it when a look comes together with items I’ve never paired together before.

Four Staples For Fall

As I shopped for items I knew I wanted, I stumbled upon four items I had to have–needed. All of them will work into the winter months too.

The slip skirt is everywhere. I wanted one for fall last year and never got around to it. This year, it was a must! I have a summer version, baby blue, and i loved it. The shiny fabric doesn’t mean it’s a dress up piece only. It can be worn with all kinds of boots, sneaks and sandals if you wanted to take it up a notch.

Aritzia slip skirt paired here with studded booties from last year and with combat boots. The slip comes in several colors.

I love a good turtleneck and Anthropologie delivered. The quality is top-notch and the string of buttons at the cuff make it oh-so-fancy. I love it so much I got it black and cream. I paired it here with vintage jeans by AG. High-waisted can be tricky but the Alexxis is soft and oh-so-flattering!

Two staple items you must add to your closet!

Sherpa is the textile of the season! I went the rounds trying to select just one that was cool and pretty. Banana Republic had the one! It’s over-sized, as is everything right now, so size down. Versatile enough to wear for work, date night, or casual night around the fire pit–your own blanket!

All of the above will be on repeat, so expect to see them paired up with multiple looks.
