Thanksgiving and my OOTD.


Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!



I quickly snapped this photo when I was cleaning the downstairs powder room.
Love the autumnal colours of the seasonal leaves.
The yellow green shade is one of my favourites and over the years I have purchased several pieces of clothing in that shade.
Obviously not a colour that many seem to appreciate as these items are usually discounted or "on sale!"

Take for example my vest.


Light weight quilted vest made by Cut Loose.
Worn here over the Banana Republic Breton striped Tee 
g 21 skinny jeans
Franco Sarto loafers

A repeat performance here with all but the vest.


Talking a self portrait and laughing at the same time means that I need to do some retakes.
Look at that grey hair!
Seriously I really am embracing it.


Now you can see that there is quite a bit...
as Duchesse pointed out it is not just tinsel!

We have a very busy weekend which revolves around family.
 A celebration of life event for Mr. HB's recently deceased 98 year old uncle which will mean getting together with lots of cousins from near and far.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
When I pause and reflect on things that I have to be thankful for I am humbled by the bounty of blessings I have in my life.

Wishing you JOY in your daily round.

we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, 
but to live by them."

My daughter can wear that color also. You are so lucky. Love it!

I love the autumn colours best. Is that chartreuse? It's funny but I think your hair is more youthful with the grey or perhaps it is the happy glow that you are exuding.

Hostess,

Tu es si jeune!!

Susan said...

I like your gray hair too, and also think it gives you a more youthful look. How can that be? I think it is the softness. You are so cute!

I have rosacea, and I think you have said previously you have it? your skin looks flawless, can I ask what makeup foundation brand you use.

Am thinking the shorter length is more youthful, and as a silver-haired person who never chose to color, of course I endorse your decision to go natural. Looking pretty!

The earrings are made of citron, lovely daughter made them for me a few years ago.

They are leather and so comfy...like wearing slippers.
I bought them at Nordstrom's last spring.

I use L'Occitane face wash from the Immortelle line and their Divine Cream.
The foundation is Bobbi Brown's Luminous Moisturizing Foundation and they have discontinued it at Nordstrom's but they have it on the Bobbi Brown website. I had to have our nephew bring it up to Canada this weekend as they do not ship to Canada.
I hope you can find some and if you live anywhere where they have a Boobi Brown make up counter I suggest that you take the time to sit down and have them do a make up session...I did and bought several of the products after seeing how well they worked with my skin.

No signs of rosacea or wrinkles and I agree with the shorter haircut suiting you well : )!

That color really works well on you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Duchesse said...

I love that yellow green too, and it looks terrific on you!

Susan said...

I have used two samples of the Divine Cream from L'Occitane now. I LIKE it! I am going to wait until later this month when our local L'Occitane store is involved in a local charity promotion and buy a jar at a discount.
