TIMLESS CELEBRATORY DRESSING FOR NOVEMBER & DECEMBER

What To Wear For Thanksgiving, Hanukah, or Christmas Events

About a month ago I received an email from a JLJBackToClassic follower who asked me to provide advice on what to wear for the upcoming holidays, whether celebrating at my home, someone else’s home, or a private club. I thought it was a wonderful idea for a blog post and video, because I had just seen some gorgeous festive and cozy items on line that I wanted to order.

Holiday Classics From Talbots, Ann Taylor, and  LilySilk

Among the items I chose were two pull-over sweaters, a pair of silk trousers, and a silk blouse gifted to me by LilySilk. Longtime followers of my blog and YouTube channel know that I have been a fan of this company for several years. I favor their charmeuse-silk, silk-joe, and merino-wool and Mongolian-cashmere pieces in particular.

In this blog post and video I show eight outfits, featuring 13 clothing items–including four classics from my closet that are still available. You also will see items I purchased at Talbots and Ann Taylor; and all of the items from the three brands can be made to look casual and cozy, or also festive and quite dressy. It just depends upon how you style them with each other–and also with other clothing items, accessories, and jewelry.

About LilySilk Cashmere

According to LilySilk, they use only ethically/humanely sourced Mongolian cashmere. To give you a bit of background: Mongolian goats’ woolen coats become dense and warm during the winter, protecting them from the extreme cold. As spring approaches, their coats naturally begin shedding. The traditional (and ethical) way to collect the cashmere is by gently combing the loose fur from the goats. This process is time-consuming; it takes 3-5 goats to make one cashmere sweater. This is why many manufacturers don’t use this method, and shear the goats instead. However,  this traditional, more humane method is how LilySilk cashmere is collected. You can read more about their ethically sourced materials here.
