happy thanksgiving, ladies. i thought i’d trot down memory lane today and share thanksgiving outfits from years gone by, starting in 2015 when the blog sprang to life. first up is from our days in san francisco in our tiny two-bedroom apartment. the photos were snapped outside as we were all crammed inside for our thanksgiving feast. the ootd is kept casual with gray denim, gray tissue turtleneck, waterfall cardigan, and cozy scarf.
this was our first year in our house in Athens. two of our kiddos were home so we kept it simple by dining in the kitchen. gray velvet pants, ivory silk tunic, and glitter flats are all that’s needed for a little glitz that’s still comfy.
if you’ve followed the blog for any length of time you know Ralph Lauren is my favorite designer. his timeless designs suit this classic girl to a tee. but i love how he incorporates a modern touch like faux leather jeans. yep, i’m in a neutral ivory silk top again. gotta love those neutrals.
thanksgiving 2018 found us dining in the dining room. our house was almost finished by this point. at least on the inside. i’m happy to report that the carpet has finally been replaced and our downstairs family room has polished concrete floors that look a-ma-zing. in 2020 i’ll have a full recap of the little tweaks we made to the house. mr. style saw everything come to life except for the new flooring. but he knew they were in the works. and that makes my heart happy.
this year is a small feast as jr. style is dining with his girlfriend and her family. isn’t that great?! but i have two out of three here at home. and, of course, kelly. it’s been a team effort as far as putting together the meal and our mouths are watering as the turkey and all the fixings are filling the air. from my house to yours wishing you a blessed thanksgiving. i’m so thankful for all of YOU.

HiBeth
I’m sure this Thanksgiving will be bittersweet for you, as it will be the first without Mr Style. I too lost my husband last Christmas and it is difficult. After losing your soulmate the first landmarks, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas’ etc are always difficult but you are doing so well. You have a lifetime of memories and Mr Style lives on in your wonderful sons. I raise a glass to you Beth. Happy a Thanksgiving. Angela xx
Hi Beth, Here’s wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. I normally send an e-card but because we’re on a cruise at the moment some things just won’t send. The cruise we are on has put on a lovely meal for those celebrating the occasion which was so thoughtful. Enjoy this time xoxo Julie and Graham
Beth,
Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!
Pleased and relieved that most of your family is with you on this holiday.
