I DID NOT GET INVITED - Page 3

I can't imagine ever being in such an altered state that I would wear sequins, velvet or velour. Silk, yes. None the less, I'll be wearing the same things I always wear around the holidays. Golf attire, shorts and tee shirts for Thanksgiving. Cashmere sweaters and jeans or leggings for Christmas.

@ALRATIBA

i have also, but nowhere that requires sequins, velour, velvet, silk as a staple. i am going out or entertaining in in "casual chic." a little bling i can do. i dont want to worry about spiliing turkey juices or butter or cranberry sauce while i am cooking.

75 here today. I got cranky bringing in groceries....then I remembered it's November 10th!!!!

Windows and deck door opened at home and, yes, air conditioning on in the car today.......the bird activity in my backyard has been hectic and enjoyable.

Not complaining.....it'll be freezing soon enough.

I'm still planning on seeing a small extended family for Thanksgiving. I plan on wearing nice (but comfortable) pants and a velvet blouse (yesterday's TSV) with a tank underneath it. I'll wear nice shoes rather than sneakers.

If all goes well and we do Christmas I'll dress in a similar fashion then.

As for sequins, it's been a long time since I needed to get that dressed up this time of year...however I have a black tie wedding for the end of May if it's still on and things are getting better but who knows? If so I have no idea what to wear to that!

I would like to think I can go to the Arizona wedding that was postponed from last May to this year, but I am not buying silk and sequins in anticipation. Wasn’t interested pre-pandemic and definitely not now. A column of color plus an appropriate jacket and jewelry.

@millieshops azdhs.gov Covid dashboard. Please keep an eye on this state website. Infection rate is currently approx 10%. It is NOT over yet. We are getting warnings about Thanksgiving "gatherings" being a bad idea here. di

I can see it in my hood. It was quiet as a church for most of the year, but now people are becoming more social. Virus fatigue? And, it isn't even Xmas, or NY yet.

They've had some large parties in some of these homes lately. In fact, our local police has even redirected some of these events, for having too many people congregating in one home, second to Covid.

What do they do? They park somewhere else and someone shuttles them in, so numbers aren't so obvious. It's a crazy fact, that people WILL party on, even in the face of death.

Sounds like a bunch of foolish people @BlueFinch .

I purchased the Belle TSV yesterday in loden. I plan on gathering with my extended family for Christmas as well. We plan on keeping it small, but I just want to wear something different. Slacks, nice long top and the Belle TSV on top.

Last year, my Christmas Eve outfit was a Susan Graver TSV (tank & duster). New Year's Eve was just the two of us enjoying a steak dinner so I had on a top with two champagne glasses embroidered on it (ancient Quaker Factory, but cute). We'll be home for everything this year so it will be extremely casual! When I'm cooking the Thanksgiving meal, I'm in a big shirt and jeans.
When I first read your post I thought you said for New Year's Eve, just the two of you, you just wore a top and had champagne. I thought, way to go, @AuntG ! Let the party begin! LOL

I better clean off my glasses!

That is funny @tends2dogs . I did make it sound that way, but alas, I had on black pants too.

Hmmm. Sequinned jackets, silky blouses and velour or velvet outfits... Where is everyone going when we've been asked to stay distanced and closer to home?

Nothing wrong with dressing up. Gotta mix up all those furry items and open front sweaters with something else.
