I just can’t seem to shake the theme of feathers these days! With Thanksgiving being tomorrow! You are sure to have your pickings for a lovely Thanksgiving dinner wardrobe. The inspiration for this weeks Thanksgiving themed color pallet is “Cranberries!”

Wouldn’t you know, that while searching high and low for some more holiday inspiration? I came across this fabulous 1940’s rayon feathered print dress! And it has the exact color palette I was looking for, in it! Double whammy!

As I have said before, there is a way to get in the mood and spirit of the holiday in style without being over the top. This dress is just the perfect little hint of the holiday and touch of 1940’s classic style.

So speaking of cranberries, how much more cranberry can you get than these pair of shoes! Not only are they completely 1940’s fabulous, but they also match the colors of the dress in perfect harmony. They remind me of the exact same color that those delicious bright cranberries look like, perfectly placed in a bowl, sitting on the Thanksgiving dinner table!
