Dressing for a Fall Event with Ageless Style

 This month the Ageless style group is discussing what we'd wear to a fall event.  The theme was picked by Cathy and I was pretty excited to see how open ended it was. 

I love fall but we rarely have any events to go to this time of year... so I decided to showcase my Thanksgiving outfit.  This sweater and my jeans are ones I wore last Thanksgiving and in all honesty is probably what I'll wear again this year.  Since we only invite my mother in law and my parents over our Thanksgiving is pretty casual.  I like to be comfy while I cook but still look somewhat festive. 


This sweater from Amazon is just perfect for fall with it's varying shades of brown and white. I bought it in my usual size; medium and thought it was so soft too. 

 I paired this sweater with my favorite black jeggings (I do size up in jeggings and bought a large) and some comfy boots I bought years ago at JC Penney. 




As you can see it doubles pretty well as a hiking outfit too! 

How do you dress for events in the fall?

    I love all the colours on your jumper and they really scream Autumn!They are actually all my favourite colours and the ones that I tend to wear the most. They jumper goes so well with your jeggings and boots. Perfect for Thanksgiving!

      Thank you! I actually don't own much in fall colors as I tend to stick to tones of blue and green.

    The colors are very pretty! Yes, a perfect outfit for a fall get together or to hike. I do like the concept of jeggings rather than leggings. A little more structure for form fitting clothes is best, I think, once you're past age ten (though I do wear leggings for very casual outings).

      Thank you! I often wear leggings too but this fall I am finding myself reaching for my jeggings more and more often.

    Perfect! I love how the boots pick up the brown of the sweater and the added necklace is very pretty! My Thanksgiving outfit is always unconventional since we have been spending Thanksgiving at the beach the last 5 years or so.

      That must be lovely! I love that tradition of yours. Sadly the beach is much too far for us to ever mimic your tradition.

    Cute outfit! No telling what the weather will do here - likely warm so I will wear my standard: tunic over capri leggings with my moccasin houseshoes (:

      Our weather is almost always cold enough for fires in the fireplace and lots of layers by the end of November.

    The sweater is so pretty for fall! Loving all the earthy tones and the long necklace is a perfect finishing touch to make it festive yet still casual enough for the occasion.

    This is my kind of Thanksgiving outfit, Joanne! Cute, cozy, and comfortable! This year it will be the four of us and my sister, her husband, and their oldest grandchild. I’m so excited to see them!

      Yes! If I have to cook I want to be cozy and comfortable; especially since we end our day with a family movie.

    Very pretty! I love the autumn colors in your sweater. I do all the cooking for Thanksgiving, so comfort and short or three quarter sleeves are what I look for that day as my hands are in water a lot.

      I do all the cooking too so I have learned to make sure I don't have anything with bell sleeves or things like that that get in the way.

    You and Amy are some pretty well dressed hikers. I would be embarrassed for you gals to see how I dress!!
    Love this look. I like the sweater very much and the way you paired black leggings with brown boots. For the longest time, I was all about matchy-matchy to a fault. And still can be inclined that way. But I have come to really like brown and black together. And love white and cream together, too. A big stretch for me.

    You have the most beautiful places to hike. We are going to be in Boston in a week and I am so excited. Wish we could get out into the woods for a walk if not a hike. But I don't see that happening. PC is all about visiting the historic sites - I enjoy that, too, but grew up there and have seen them all - maybe we can find a trail Paul Revere hiked and visit it?

      LOL! I don't always hike in outfits like this.

      Oh yes, the freedom trail is wonderful!!... very long with lots of historical stops along the way. If you start in the Boston Common there are usually all sorts of tours and pamphlets, etc. We grabbed a pamphlet and did our own tour with the boys with one year. The trail is a literal red line you follow through the city so it's easy to follow without getting lost and the pamphlet told us just enough about each stop so we could decide if we wanted to go in or not. We stopped at about 1/2 of them and it still took us a full day and I think we stopped at the USS Constitution not even making it all the way to the end at Bunker Hill. Not really a nature walk hike but still a great way to compromise!

      We used to have a huge Thanksgiving and I always bought a special outfit for it but spent so much time in the kitchen I never found time to change into it! LOL. Then a few years ago we downsized to just a few really close family members and it's been pretty darn casual ever since.

    Our Thanksgiving is very small, too...just ten of us if everyone comes. I dress up a bit but not a lot. I really like the striped sweater and the comfy looking boots!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Would You Rather; Fall Edition

Image
I was looking for a quick and fun blog post when I stumbled upon this graphic on Pinterest.  I stopped by Life By Wyetha's blog and found so many great Would You Rather and printable game ideas for parties.  It's a really fun blog and you should definitely check it out (here!) .  With her permission, I'm using her adorable graphic for today's post.  As always, I've circled my answers and, of course, will go into even more detail below.   Other than a few football games when I was in high school, I've never even watched football so my obvious answer was movies!  I don't like scary movies though so you'll find me watching things like Runaway Bride, Stepmom, Love Story, Autumn in New York, St. Elmo's Fire, Good Will Hunting, etc.  While I love iced tea, I only drink hot tea when I'm sick.  I much prefer a mug of cocoa!  When my boys were younger we used to visit a corn maze (and a different one at that!) each fall.  We have so many near us.  They
