Oversized Layering

I found this oversized dark gray layering jacket and also a lighter gray one similar (but a different brand) and am loving them.  This one has a one button closure, but can be worn open as well.  This outfit was worn at the end of October.  I'll have another post up in the next few weeks of an additional way I've worn it recently (hint:  pairing it with gold)

Stretchy Thanksgiving Pants

Just a casual, at home, Thanksgiving for the two of us.  Tomorrow we'll be going out and meeting up with family.  

I found these black jeggings recently and they were soooo comfortable (w/my, once again, weight gain, ugh), that I went back and found another pair of darker black jeggings and also a pair of pull up pants (no zipper, just stretchy waistband, and slightly looser jegging type fit) in black, but with a bit dressier fabric (both thrifted of course).
They are like maternity pants!  That's what I thought they were when I tried the first pair in the dressing room, but they fit so well I was going to buy them anyway.  Then I saw on the inside of the waistband they were labeled "jeggings".  It made me feel a lot better to at least know I wasn't needing maternity wear. haha
They will be perfect for the Thanksgiving meal.
You all know what I'm talking about! :)

Hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving!

OOTD + New Trader Joe's Meal

Trader Joe's has provided us with another great addition to our meal rotation.  This week we tried the Kung Pao Tempora Cauliflower served over a small amount of the Vegetable Rice.  Yum!  We loved it.  I did add a tiny bit of rotisserie chicken to it.  We had this for a dinner and a lunch (for 2 people).  The cauliflower package says it provides 6 servings, but for us it provided 4 servings.  Well, 2 larger dinner servings and 2 smaller lunch size servings.

 We have a personal meal rating system for how good it is as to how frequently we could eat a particular product or meal.  This one rated at once every month or so.  I am actually craving it again now and could eat it more often that that. :)

Another product we tried recently was the Trader Joe's Vegetable Biryani with Vegetable Dumplings.
It was not bad.  I probably liked it more than hubby.  I would only rate this an every 3-4 month meal, but it's a decent option for variety.

I had ordered several new scarves from ebay.  This is one of 4 in this small square size.  I will can also wear these wrapped closer around the neck with the knot twisted to the side.
