I was in the South with the in-laws for Thanksgiving, and I escaped my acquired family for one day to visit my sister Kathryn in Asheville. We’re not really gab on the phone for hours a week sisters. We’re more like have a beer and make fun of each other once a year sisters. I like our way better.

We had an awesome boozy brunch at Biscuit Head, then walked all over downtown checking out the shops. Naturally, we were tired after that and had to sit down and drink again. Then Kathryn photobombed me as only an annoying little sister can do:

By the way, how great are these boots?! I love them. Of course, in true sibling fashion, Kathryn asked me if I was going to ride horses later. MAYBE I AM, BITCH. (Love you, sis.)

Remember how I was just complaining about “paid-for” casual Fridays? A mere 3 days after wrestling with my complicated feelings on the topic, we had a good old-fashioned day-before-a-holiday jeans day. So this is how I decided to take advantage of the chance to wear denim to the office on Thanksgiving Eve. I switched it up a little with a chambray shirt and colored jeans this time. And I threw in a matching hat because why not. Sadly, the hat had to come off once I was at my desk. I’m not quite that daring, even on a casual day. I’m not too upset about it though. If my biggest problem is that I can only wear my cute hat while walking between my functioning car and my job at a fancy law firm, my life isn’t too shabby. Not to get too sentimental, but I’m feeling especially thankful this holiday season. Just to share the love, I might even donate to charity when I’m not wearing jeans to work.
