Guys. It’s day three of our New Orleans Fakesgiving trip and THE.BLOG.IS.STILL.UP.

Old Navy Houndstooth Coat (Also love this teddy coat, this tartan puffer, this plaid longline coat, this camel topcoat, this buffalo check sherpa jacket, this long navy plaid pea coat, this long camel pea coat, and this shorter camel pea coat. So many amazing–and affordable–options!) / Newer Camel Cashmere Turtleneck (Also love these more affordable options: one, two, three and four) / Mark & Graham Red Crossbody (Also love the cognac!) / Gap Soft Wear Skinny Jeans (I hear this Soft Wear denim jacket is a game changer, btw!) / Sperry Seaport Loafers (Softest and most comfortable loafers I’ve ever owned. Such classics. I’ve had my brown pair for years! Here are all the Seaport styles.) / Ray-Ban Sunglasses

We’re headed down to New Orleans to celebrate Thanksgiving, and I can’t tell you how excited the girls are to see everyone. (My brother and sister-in-law are doctors, and they couldn’t get the time off to fly home for November 28th. So the family decided to simply move Thanksgiving up a few weeks and head down to them!)

It’s funny. I talked about this last year, but in my 20s, I do think I would have been upset about breaking tradition; about being in a warm location for a holiday that I associate with cold weather; about celebrating it on a different day. But now that I’m older and live far away from my family, I’ve completely changed my tune. ⁣⁣
