Hey y’all, happy Thanksgiving! I didn’t travel this year so I’ve spent the day at home with my family eating amazing food, watching the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade, playing crazy eights, and taking pictures. I’m super excited to watch some Christmas movies tonight! I’ve had such a great year and I have so much to be thankful for, so I thought I would share fifty things I’m thankful for today along with my Thanksgiving outfit! I’m truly so blessed and I want to thank you all for taking time out of your day to read my blog posts and follow me on Instagram, I appreciate it more than you know! So without further adieu, here’s my Thanksgiving day outfit as well as fifty things I’m thankful for.
Thanksgiving Outfit
sweater // skirt (currently 50% off, grab it before it’s gone!) // infinity blanket scarf // booties (similar) // monogram necklace // earrings (similar) // ring // watch (similar) // needlepoint bracelet (actually meant to be a watch strap, but I think it looks super cute styled like this as a bracelet!)
