Thanksgiving Irony

Today, in the US, we’re supposed to take a day off and reflect upon our many blessings, and the abundance of our lives.
Tomorrow, we’re supposed to go buy stuff that we really really need.
Maybe, tomorrow, try to remember how contented and comfortable you feel today, and sincerely question what you’re buying.
love,
Janice

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful that I have everything I need, and most of what I want. My Christmas shopping is done, and I am skipping the Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping frenzy this year.

    Thank you so much, Janice, for showing us how much we can do with a few well-chosen pieces.

    Yes, and now we are even exhorted to shop on Thanksgiving Day itself. Shameful!

    Exactly. I just posted a plea to my friends to resist the pressure to shop today and spend time with loved ones or in self reflection rather than spending money with retailers.

    Well said. Thank you for showing us, all year long, that with a little discipline and planning we can escape this madness.

    I don't need anything so I won't buy anything. You offer so many great ideas in wardrobe planning that more is unnecessary.

    Sitting at home in my jammies, still grateful from yesterday and always grateful for your work and your fine eye. To wit: It's a great Degas — I've never seen one like it before.
