  OH BOY. You look so FAB. That outfit is catwalk - worthy!!

• Adelfa replied 10 years ago

  Wow, what a stunning holiday outfit! And I love your lipstick. Isn't it amazing not to have crazy family tension? I didn't have any today either, just a nice time with friends.

• Vildy replied 10 years ago

  Wow from me, too.  I'll bet your husband's thankful he can sit at the table and gaze at you!

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  Adelfa - Absolutely, the last time we dealt with family there was a huge brouhaha, I cooked for 12 hours (no help -- surprise!) and we had a family member disappear in the night (on her own volition -- dramatic as usual!). I was happy to have a pleasant server and a wonderful experience! 

  Anne - I totally felt cat-walk worthy. 

• Joy replied 10 years ago

  You look so glamorous. You need to repeat this outfit during the holidays.
  Mr Day Vies must be thankful that he's married to a beautiful brilliant woman.

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  Holy Turkey Day!  What a stunning look.  Most of us are in cozy sweaters and slippers, either covered in flour or wrapped in a dish towel.  Meanwhile......in glamour land.......

  Hope your evening was beautiful and lovely!

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Just fell of my chair and had to pick my jaw up to! You look amazingly stunning DV. The fit of the jacket and colour is made for you. And your hair is so perfect.

• deb replied 10 years ago

  WOW, you look Fab!

• Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

  One of my favourites ever. The cut & texture of the jacket & your hair are totally fab. Glad you had a great time :)

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  Ah Beth Ann, I had to pause my Scandal Marathon just to read your comment to DH. Glamourland indeed!

  Deborah -- coming from someone whose style I admire as much as your that means a lot to me -- thank you! 

  Joy - I think I'll be repeating this often it's a good formula for me. I have 2 more red black and white outfits for the season. I can't wait to wear them. 

• Sharon replied 10 years ago

  OMG, totally gorgeous! You look like a model.

  We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but Christmas is usually the big family get-together. After a situation similar to the one you described, my husband made a rule: only one crazy family member in the house at a time. (The sane ones are fine, but put the crazy ones together and there WILL be trouble!) Works like magic - peaceful gatherings ever since. :)

• Marley replied 10 years ago

  So absolutely gorgeous - I can hardly stand it!  That color is divine on you!  And, I love, love, love your hair!  Beautiful woman!

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  Sharon that is an EXCELLENT rule! One crazy family member at a time :-D! 

• goldenpig replied 10 years ago

  Stunning DV! Love the hair and outfit. You look like a model. Those tights are so pretty too!

  I mean... really woman! This post must have a warning sign before opening the photos.

  You are right - have the right base and the rest just follows. Amazing example of how swapping a few pieces can create completely different look and still be so very you. And just how stunning the outfits created around one star piece can be.

  Btw, your hair is amazing. The way you work it in so many creative ways deserves a standing ovation on its own.

• lyn* replied 10 years ago

  LOVE saturated colours on you, and this outfit is no different!

• rute replied 10 years ago

  You look stunning! Fabulous lipstick and jacket! Red is your color!

• RunswithDolphins replied 10 years ago

  Sizzling! I love the velvet jacket on you against the black skirt and top with the pop of the red pumps and matching lipstick.  But I do think it's the textured lace tights that add that element of surprise that is so fascinating.

• Debra replied 10 years ago

  Another WOW......you look fantastic :)

• replied 10 years ago

  You look so amazing, you take my breath away.  Happy Thanksgiving.  

• replied 10 years ago

  You look gorgeous.

• Emily replied 10 years ago

  You look spectacular!  

• Windchime replied 10 years ago

  You intended for your jacket to be the star, but YOU are the star. You look fabulous! I love the jacket, the tights, your hair and lipstick. Glad you and DH had a tranquil Thanksgiving Day.

• carter replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous!

• Jaime replied 10 years ago

  Your hair - and the rest of you - looks fantastic!

• Momo replied 10 years ago

  Wow! You are sizzling! Love it all. Great stockings!

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  WOW! This is full out glamour! You look sensational. I love the rich red of the jacket on you, its sumptuous texture, and the lacy hose combined with the shiny shoes. The necklace is a pop of bright. And your hair is just gorgeous. I hope you will repeat this over the holidays! 

• JG replied 10 years ago

  You should have put a warning in your title or introductory comments. You are breath-taking! Seeing these photos might be dangerous for someone who spent a stressful day yesterday, cooking for hours, dealing with family tensions, and eating too much.

• Sara L. replied 10 years ago

  You look great!  I love those tights!  No cooking or cleaning sounds fabulous to me (although I had an excuse this year to get out of the clean-up - the baby needed to be fed).

• Karie replied 10 years ago

  I'm gasping...I can't catch my breath - Good Gravy, this outfit is SPECTACULAR! I can't even say what I love most because I love it all. And your hair is amazing!

• Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

  You are too GORGEOUS for words Day Vies :)

• carambola replied 10 years ago

  Wow - stunning! Your hair looks fantastic, as does the rest of the outfit. 

• Catnip replied 10 years ago

  Wow!  You are an inspiration to us all!

• E replied 10 years ago

  OMG, from head to toe you're just spectacular! I love this so, so much. Far too fancy for cooking. ;)

• Mo replied 10 years ago

  Perfect holiday look!  That jacket is to die for on you.

• MsMary replied 10 years ago

  Good grief!  This is spectacular!  That jacket loves you for sure!!

  I hear you on the "no tension, no cooking, no dishes!"  I've hosted Thanksgiving for years, and in my newly single, exiled-from-my-house state it was lovely to go to a restaurant with my parents and not worry about any family drama.

• jengehrt replied 10 years ago

  Love this outfit!!!

• karymk replied 10 years ago

  GAAAAAHHH I love that jacket on you! I don't usually go for bows but I am going straight to BHWM and hope that's a newer piece. Your hair is so soft and fluffy I want to just scrunch my fingers all up in there....And the way you used the tights makes it so perfect.

• lyn67 replied 10 years ago

  My God! This is more than fab! Love love LOVE the berries myself, and this is a very flaterring cut, luxurious fabric- jacket-which makes a statemnet on itself, it really suits you sooo welll! The lace tights/red shoes combo are terrific! You are extrabombshelling that (otherwise trully perfect cut an fit) pencil! Hair and lipstic also gorgeous! Faints!:-)

• unfrumped replied 10 years ago

  So fab, colors and the neckline of the top and jacket.
  Beautifully done to let the red jacket be the star--or really, you.
  Simple dynamite!

• LACeleste replied 10 years ago

  You are a super stunner!  Wow!!!!!!

• Echo replied 10 years ago

  Next time you post an outfit this fab, you need to warn us to don our crash helmets before opening the thread!

  I can't even point to one thing about this outfit because every single element is absolutely perfect and combines with the rest in just the right way. You look absolutely amazing. I am so glad you had a relaxing Thanksgiving.

• JAileen replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous! Love your hair, and your jacket!

• Mary Beth (formerly LBD) replied 10 years ago

  You are an absolute knockout!

• Aubergine replied 10 years ago

  Wow!! That's an amazingly gorgeous outfit.

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  Thank you so much everyone for all of the wonderful encouraging comments (about crazy family and it outfit). Your comments make it so easy to post.

• Lisa replied 10 years ago

  I almost fell off of my chair.  That jacket, swoon!  Those curls, swoon!  The gorgeous shape this outfit is showing off, swoon!  My favorite look I've seen you post yet.  And berries are so super on you, keep sporting them!

• Laurie replied 10 years ago

  Absolutely gorgeous!  You look so chic and so elegant.

• Missey replied 10 years ago

  You shine in that vibrant cranberry shade!  And your hair!  OH MY GOSH!  It is to die for...you look stunning! 

  And yes, all of the exclamation points were necessary.

• Vickie KY replied 10 years ago

  The outfit is beautiful and so are you. I love that wine shade on you. Very rich looking.

• marianna replied 10 years ago

  I hardly ever post anymore, but I had to jump in because WOW! This is the epitome of a STUNNING, classy, elegant holiday look. Just gorgeous.

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  Killer. You look stunning and gorgeous. Glad your Turkey Day was all upside. 

• Von replied 10 years ago

  The red looks fabulous on you, and I can't say enough about those lace stockings! This is a great holiday look!

• peacechick replied 10 years ago

  Wow wow wow, you are stunning. In that outfit, I expect a celebrity chef to appear out of the pantry and serve you!

• Mia replied 10 years ago

  Simply the best! So nice to have tranquil day as a bonus.

• dustt replied 10 years ago

  sorry I'm so late to this party - I adore the hair on the loose!! - it is so beautiful - and the berry color just sings with your complexion!! - that jacket is a show stopper!! - Wish I'd been able to dress up more myself - but all that cooking, cleaning and serving made my wardrobe choices much less fabulous that yours!!!

• Neel replied 10 years ago

  Oh wow! This would be my favorite outfit of yours! Love the patterned tights and the jacket! Gorgeous smile and I bet DH was floored :)

• Diana replied 10 years ago

  WOW!!!!! I just saw this but I just had to comment because you look absolutely breathtaking!

• christieanne replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous! I am inspired to amp up my holiday looks. I also love how you realized you used basic, uniform items and layered them to create knockout combo.

• No Fear of Fashion replied 10 years ago

  I can only add what the others have already said: stunning, awesome... the whole outfit. Man, you must have turned some heads in the street.
  This is such a winning outfit; shoes, jacket, skirt, tights everything. And I love the way you wear your hair. I would love to have your hair (I know it is high maintenance, but boy oh boy, the results are so great).

  Wow -- thank you ladies! I will definitely have to do that outfit again given the feedback from the forum.
