Inspired By...Das Wilde Leben (and a lovely, Happy Thanksgiving!)

How beautiful is that outfit?  It's from one of my favorite movies, Das Wilde Leben.

I definitely need a new shirt for that, but in a pinch I think it looks okay.  The skirt is a souvenir from Iraq(!), as my dad goes there frequently on business trips.

Side note: How beautiful are those Saguaro cactus?  Love those, and they only grow in Arizona!

                                Caught me unawares, but I kinda dig those sorts of pictures:)

I don't know about everyone else, but my Thanksgiving was incredible.  This year we eschewed the usual Tofurkey in favor of taking the two day road trip to my uncles.  Everything was made from scratch, and with the exception of the Turkey, everything was also vegetarian!  We ate outside with beautiful, glimmering lights and the tall Saguaro's watching over us...truly magical!

Finished off the meal with two slices of pie (one Pecan and another Dutch Apple) and a glass of Pinot Grigio.

Life is good.

I hope everyone else's Thanksgiving was as magical as mine (for those who celebrate it!) and until next time,

Traveling throughout the American South!

We left Alabama super early this morning and drove through Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and stopped halfway through Texas, near Forth Worth.

13 hours.  OMG.

Today's outfit actually isn't based on a movie/miniseries (unfortunately), but it's just so crazy comfortable and cute that I couldn't resist wearing it.

Before the outfit though, I have to share this:

Dr. Enuf.  How have I never heard of this before?  It's like Sprite, just with a stronger lemon-lime flavor, which is SO delicious.

Sweater: Nick and Nora, Skirt: Home Made (Loving making my own clothes!), Shoes: Chinese Laundry.

Side note: I can't seem to find hose the right color.  I want them more like my skin color (several shades lighter than what they are in real life).  If anyone has any suggestions for brands to try, let me know!

Until Next Time,

Ashley

Thanksgiving!

I know it's a little early (by a week, anyway) to be talking about **Thanksgiving** but I'm so excited, I just had to post about it.  I'm going on a lovely cross country trip on Sunday, and won't be coming back until the following Saturday.

I had the ingenious idea of planning out all my outfits to be based on my favorite movies and miniseries, which is SO helpful, and SO inspiring!  I'll be adding my own touches and channelling some of my favorite outfits from Das Wilde Leben, Young Victoria, Daniel Deronda, Marie Antoinette, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and The Tudors.

I won't be doing my regular posts that usually involve recipes, etc, but I will be posting my outfits and the things I did.  I'm going to a place I've only been to once before, so it'll be really exciting!

Until Next Time,

Ashley
