$150 Challenge: First Thanksgiving

By -
As tomorrow is Turkey Day here in the States, we won't be posting. I will be hosting the annual feast at my house for the first time. (No, I don't have to cook the turkey.) Between preparing the house for my in-laws and mashing my sweet potatoes and pears, I haven't even thought about what I'm going to wear! A jersey knit seems best -- movable, expandable, comfortable and available in cute dresses. At $115.84, this outfit may be cheaper than the feast.
jersey empire waist dress, Old Navy $24.50
sequin cardigan, Forever 21 $24.90
patterned tights, Mod Cloth $14.99
ruffle flat (available in three more colors), Old Navy $24.50
rhinestone headband, Forever 21 $11.80
layered pearl necklaces, Forever 21 $9.80
OPI "Ruby Rajah" nail polish, Amazon $5.35

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
