Keeping in touch with friends is essential for a healthy, well-lived life. Having lunch with my sweet friend, Belinda, is always a delight. We solve the world’s problems and talk about recipes, jewelry, outfits, and the details of our lives. When we spend time together, I always learn something new and gain a better perspective on life’s challenges.
By the end of the day, we had a light dusting of snow, so I wore wool pants and a sweater to lunch. The double-faced wool jacket I showed you last year was the perfect complement to the animal print bag.
Dressing in thin layers is the key to staying warm in cold weather without adding bulk. When the weather turns even colder, my choice for long underwear is here and here.
The pointed-toe slingback shoes were just the right height with the pants. The wider the pant leg, the longer the pants should be.
The handbag here is the only new item in my look. The bold ring is from T.J.Maxx last year and the belt is here. Similar wool pants are here. The forever sweater is here. A similar jacket is here. The earrings are here. The shoes are here. Shopping links may allow me to earn a small commission without costing you anything.
I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving with family and friends.
Getting dressed for an event doesn’t have to be rocket science. I love the posts where you show what you wear and why. Creating an appropriate outfit seems as easy as breathing for you.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving!
Susan, you look stunning. Thank you for setting the bar high So nice to see the planning and inspiration you put into your day. The image you project shows confidence, health and happiness. Oh that more people would take the time and effort before leaving home!
Wishing you and Mr. Mickey a wonderful Thanksgiving. Cheers!
Susan, you look so smart! My gal pal is moving to another city about an hour and a half away, so I know our time is going to be limited in the future. Life and its changes!
You wowed me! Everything works well and you are so elegant. The pieces make a perfect base for changing accessories for different occasions too. I’d love to see how you might do that for holiday events. Gorgeous hair too! Have a beautiful week!
I always enjoy your posts so very much and I have learned a great deal from you. Thank you for sharing and for being so open about not just your style but your life as well.
Dear Susan,
When I count my blessings, you are certainly on the list! I find your blog refreshing and inspiring.
Thank you for all you do for all of us.

Susan,
Would you write a bit about earrings and how you decide which ones to wear with what outfit? I have WAY too many earrings and am trying to simplify my life in all areas and jewelry is one area where I know I just need basics and I can donate the rest. Thanks, Susan, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Yes, but what did you and Belinda EAT? Just kidding. Beautiful outfit.

I like to wear small, barely noticeable earrings with dramatic necklaces. When I wear large earrings, I most often pair them with dramatic bracelets.
