While holiday shopping I found two items I decided to add to my closet.
The first, an olive blazer with a brown lapel, I hope to pair with jeans. For some reason I have a hard time wearing jeans and continue to look for ways to style them.
I owned the same blazer in black w/brown lapel, so I knew the lined
jacket was something I would like, however, a bit surprised the olive jacket
is a bit tighter than the black. I continue to have success with my diet, so I
am not that concerned the blazer is a little tight.
The other item, also something I owned in another color
(see photo on the right), another top I can wear
for holiday events.
Below, a short video of the holiday style I tried on Friday, December 5,
2025 after the new top arrived with other holiday packages.
Except for a few holiday extras, I am done with the holiday shopping and happy I can sit down and relax till the end of the year.

It has been cold in my area since Thanksgiving. Yesterday, after waiting on a morning package delivery, I took care of several errands. I chose to wear my long black pleated wool skirt, chocolate cashmere sweater with a black velvet collar, my brown suede blazer, and chocolate Nine West boots.
By the time I finished yesterday evening, it was after 5 and pretty dark. I should have worn gloves.
The last time I wore the long black pleated wool skirt I purchased in the late
80s, was November 2008 for a Meetup in Washington, D.C. Below photos of
the ensemble I wore for the evening Meetup at the large eatery across from the
Verizon Center (now Capital One Arena).
Why no video? By the time I finished editing there would have been very little footage. Not happy with how I captured the video and I thought the outfit looked better in person.

It has been a busy two weeks. In early November, I decided to capture most of my activities, in hopes of creating content for a video. I did, however, decided to only use the content mainly from the Thanksgiving meal preparations.
Below, the video I finished editing this morning, Sunday, November 30,
2025.
This is one of my longer videos and one that helped me to decide I really do not have the time to create this type of content on a regular basis. If you have stopped by my Youtube Channel, you will note, I like short videos showing an outfit I chose to wear or try on.
Do you ever wonder if Youtube content creators have editors or are they doing the work themselves? I created several voice overs for this video, and though had no problem with the scripts, had to re-record the voice overs several times before use.
That said, I like doing this type of work, I simply do not have the time. I also like the power Davinci Resolve offers for this type of production effort.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and yes, I thought I did a pretty good job with the Thanksgiving meal. How about the roast beef? I love roast beef sliders on Hawaiian rolls with Heinz 57 sauce.

It seems for the last week, all I have been doing is handling minor business issues, cooking, and trying to find the deals I want for holiday gifts.
I think today, I finished most of the hard work for the Thanksgiving meal. In addition, I also completed most of my holiday gift buying.
This year, again- I went with more practical gifts rather than extravagant.
A gift I wanted this year? The new book by John Grisham, "The Widow ". I have not had the chance to read a good book in awhile.
That said, every Wednesday, The New York Times updates its Hardcover Fiction Best Sellers list and I, in turn update the WiredPages Libraries page to reflect their new listings. (See this post to see how I accomplish this.)
Below the HTML I inserted this evening to the WiredPages Libraries page in the form of the images and
Amazon links to the new list of New York Times® Best Sellers.
For the week of: 11/26/2025

Hope your holiday plans are taking shape. I was not worried about the plans I made. Everything is mostly going to plan. My concerns are the many issues out of left field I did not plan on. That said, I am getting through each issue one at a time. Happy I can say this.

My mother's birthday is in mid November and relatives were in town. Lots to do for both her birthday and Thanksgiving.
On Saturday, another gathering and I decided to wear an old black jumper my
mother gave to me, a brown knit top, long black socks, and my brown clogs.
I have also been thinking about styles for the holidays. Here are options I
am thinking about for Thanksgiving.
Earlier this month, I ordered an inexpensive black faux fur jacket to wear as the outer layer with evening clothes (gowns, cocktail dresses, etc.).
In the description I missed one of the features, it zips- so I wanted to
return it, however, decided to sell it instead.
I do not have a Poshmark account, however, can setup "for sale" listings with
my business PayPal account.
I am still looking for the black fur evening jacket that will work with some of my styles. I think I also want a style with a more sheared fur look. Do you know what I am looking for? Please drop me a line reginadenisethomas at gmail.com.
Below, a short video of the outfit I wore, Saturday, November 22, 2025.
I have been filming many of my activities since the beginning of the month. I thought I would be providing a longer video of things going on in my life for the month of November, however, decided I am just too busy to edit more than I am for these Outfit of the Day, shorts I am currently uploading.
Lots of respect for those who have the time to do all of that editing work.
Hope your holiday plans are coming together.

In preparation for Thanksgiving, I went out yesterday morning in hopes of completing all of the shopping. It was overcast and misting, however, because I had to be home today and tomorrow, chose to get this chore out of the way.
My outfit? Because of the weather, I chose a pair of black velour jeans
(brand: Well Worn), cashmere
sweater, black all weather boots, and the Perry Ellis army green leather
trimmed long jacket.
As you can see from the photos, I also tried other outer layer options,
however, chose the Perry Ellis jacket.
That said, because of the weather, the brown faux fur was actually never an
option.
With the holidays and a birthday, I have been busy. I am getting things done, however, not all is going as smoothly as I would like. Hope your plans are taking shape.
