Turkey Belly

  
Wearing: Gap Cardigan, American Apparel T-Shirt, Club Monaco Skirt, Urban Outfitter Booties & Bag, Vintage Scarf

I know what you`re thinking. I seem so super cool so why am I at home blogging on a Saturday night and not out on the town? Well you're right, normally I'd be out doing {insert cool activity here} but tonight I'm too full of Turkey to move. It's Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada and tonight we had dinner at Mike's parents. 

I have another Turkey dinner at my mom's tomorrow so I think it's time to whip out my pants with the elastic waist. Another strategy is to wear a flowy skirt and place the waist band right above your turkey belly. Food baby camouflaged. Maybe I should put less effort into thinking up ways to hide a turkey belly and just go to the gym... nah.

Disclaimer: I lied, I probably wouldn't have been out on the town doing anything cool. I probably would have been watching something on the pvr or sleeping ;) I also know you weren't thinking about how cool I am. But a girl can dream.

  1. The skirt's a great idea to hide the turkey belly. With three turkey dinners this weekend, I'm going to need to come up with some inventive ways as well.. Hmm...

  6. Hey, who says hanging out at home can't be cool?! ;-) Maybe you're just so cool that you don't have to pretend by going out on Saturday night. Ha!

    I had to laugh about your post name... I will be having my Thanksgiving dinner in a few hours and then I'll probably feel exactly the same. Luckily we're having the dinner at our place, so the comfy pants are right there waiting for me.

    Enough about the food... I really like your outfit. The skirt is fabulous!

  11. I absolutely LOVE this outfit! The blazer, the skirt, the booties, that tee with the scarf... perfect!

    I wish New Zealand would adopt a holiday like Thanksgiving. Because I can never pass up a good food baby opportunity. Hah!
