That's the word I think of when looking at this outfit. It's crazy in the sense that you don't see a fur vest very often in Wyoming and if you do, I'd think it was real. I'd also think he'd killed it himself, assuming it was a man wearing the fur vest. He'd be all Dexter-like about it, taking a trophy of his kill. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldxwYRBW8wb_ikYhD3teMVSJq8m9Yg9ab8Iz7EYHToffX79PD-DmNL9z8_5gH7J0CPvGRyv2XK4VXmeguxDonoyhtzOBoL2WoKPUcVvzd2uutyiqeeupoX0ZVDoN9_n_V6SqaNia1mpfG/s1600/11.30.11b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldxwYRBW8wb_ikYhD3teMVSJq8m9Yg9ab8Iz7EYHToffX79PD-DmNL9z8_5gH7J0CPvGRyv2XK4VXmeguxDonoyhtzOBoL2WoKPUcVvzd2uutyiqeeupoX0ZVDoN9_n_V6SqaNia1mpfG/s640/11.30.11b.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which leads to why this post is called "Darlyna." As you know, I love the show "The Walking Dead" on AMC, and one character has really developed this season, becoming my favorite character: Daryl. He supports the "back-woods redneck" stereotype in season 1 and takes it with him into the first few episodes of season 2, but he slowly grows out of that view when he starts to do upstanding things for the group. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZAqw5Q-xzVdBSNIORPmiFqEO8_esTGLEvgTFJ22UtmSaWdM_LjAUJoThJOa1C0hnTc6R9MyH2Ty5UL6pP2GrUZoEGB2e7ztifrQN5CnAQYfIBV2_QYBeCaQ8GpO7d_IpF9mMAIxNG5xU/s1600/11.30.11c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZAqw5Q-xzVdBSNIORPmiFqEO8_esTGLEvgTFJ22UtmSaWdM_LjAUJoThJOa1C0hnTc6R9MyH2Ty5UL6pP2GrUZoEGB2e7ztifrQN5CnAQYfIBV2_QYBeCaQ8GpO7d_IpF9mMAIxNG5xU/s640/11.30.11c.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's a scene in the episode "Chupacabra" where a vision of Daryl's brother comes and taunts him by calling him names, one of which is Darlyna. I was inspired to create a look for what I imagine Daryl's possible girlfriend would wear (also realizing they are in Georgia means this outfit would never work down there...oh the humidity). I love the way this character is opening up and becoming more human in a world where humanity is threatened by zombies. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwq9Mpf7ZAyKvRWgU6nH8Ml7qXRZfWKyKLxl-WcGJs4UuNOabYo4t0LCG75obBoDjCh2nsFsmEssMxOY0K1md82OOVUZCEG1bvTYzIN7FtPf0-yOEpCPXQTfovvqSHucDtI26mcT4jH-i/s1600/11.30.11d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwq9Mpf7ZAyKvRWgU6nH8Ml7qXRZfWKyKLxl-WcGJs4UuNOabYo4t0LCG75obBoDjCh2nsFsmEssMxOY0K1md82OOVUZCEG1bvTYzIN7FtPf0-yOEpCPXQTfovvqSHucDtI26mcT4jH-i/s400/11.30.11d.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sadly though, the show is on hiatus until February. *sigh* But for now, I'll be enjoying spiced eggnog and gingerbread cookies over the holiday season, at least until the gore begins again in February. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPUCBk3uIYizP2Qi4_ZXE-PbXgpgexQArFEgxGR2hK0Ea2yX-Y1H-HIA5LbR9QxXOM3c-5m1B9PZQdALs_cykJ8I85AKpKBFIvXWFOK53jMXLkFhQyA7nDUJzkM3WFwdyZ55aAT-YxB-V/s1600/11.30.11e.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPUCBk3uIYizP2Qi4_ZXE-PbXgpgexQArFEgxGR2hK0Ea2yX-Y1H-HIA5LbR9QxXOM3c-5m1B9PZQdALs_cykJ8I85AKpKBFIvXWFOK53jMXLkFhQyA7nDUJzkM3WFwdyZ55aAT-YxB-V/s640/11.30.11e.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vest: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74384&vid=1&pid=878782&scid=878782002" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shirt: American Eagle</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dress: Target</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tights: Old Navy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Necklace: Urban Outfitters</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Boots: Enzo from Nordstrom</div>

Since going home for a mere 3 days is not worth a plane ticket, I go to my Grandparent's Ranch, which is in the middle of nowhere...and I mean NOWHERE...Wyoming. The cool part about my Grandma's ranch is that she runs the state's Horse Rescue Center. She has about, oh.. 7 horses, 2 donkeys (burros) and a mule. She also has 5 cats, an Austrailian Sheepdog and a big 217lb Mastiff. Keep in mind that my grandma is almost 82 years old, hardly 135lbs and only 5 feet tall. She's a true cowgirl.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0uA0AYOh1p07WuicwZGsoOFSEuD7zv8cJ1QEilkcEDLTluVMt5JOOo6qfIBmFcYAUGP49juD40PLIjPReOdrwv15-A2kNvskON-i6Bk5GRKrGnAl8kFUEC7GefeXE8voNPi5SpCE2ScS/s1600/11.25.11b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0uA0AYOh1p07WuicwZGsoOFSEuD7zv8cJ1QEilkcEDLTluVMt5JOOo6qfIBmFcYAUGP49juD40PLIjPReOdrwv15-A2kNvskON-i6Bk5GRKrGnAl8kFUEC7GefeXE8voNPi5SpCE2ScS/s640/11.25.11b.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have to drive over 300 miles to get to her house, so I always make sure that I dress for comfort above all else when I go visit.

My grandma does some pretty amazing things with her animals. All of them are rescues who have a great home at her ranch. The horses that were once fearful of or mean to people are now the most gentle creatures. I hope everyone enjoyed their family time much as I did. And happy Black Friday!

What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanksgiving is a day to celebrate flowy tops and elastic waist bands. It's a true American holiday: eat until you can't eat anymore. Many people I know have a more casual Thanksgiving, but then there are the questions of what can I wear that will let my full belly be comfortable and what will be cute and appropriate for a family occasion? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have 3 different outfits to answer such questions. I have a casual (Dinner and Football), semi-formal (Kinda Casual) and the actual formal (Fancy Tableware, Fancy Dress) outfit ideas.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dinner and Football</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjDfflEdBB3yeHqSt-x_x_9NreDc970AzNhcDMRHRtwJ9-OsuMlmmjICodufxrEXHyif3Te50aJWIWNpMcwEVcOFz6ZJG024R4R0zjOI9B9zUKXSUROcQes2_s1X78paZ7Izqz9FGBnDg/s1600/thanksgiving+casual+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjDfflEdBB3yeHqSt-x_x_9NreDc970AzNhcDMRHRtwJ9-OsuMlmmjICodufxrEXHyif3Te50aJWIWNpMcwEVcOFz6ZJG024R4R0zjOI9B9zUKXSUROcQes2_s1X78paZ7Izqz9FGBnDg/s640/thanksgiving+casual+1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The key to a casual Thanksgiving is to look cute without trying. I love the black and yellow mix right now. The dark top with the happy bright sweater adds to the Chi of the meal and of the holiday; in the darkness of winter you'll bring warmth and joy to the home. To make your outfit have a more dressed-up feel, pick a detailed top and a sparkly necklace.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpIWngrqxFFSfvBIJDofUKgo-7qlrMRRmLqF8XpXMCHbg2wzhMHZzxlqcHuok4B4oqG1YSf5TPZi_5052Lvj0s2O6XcPOhyBpgMj_aElm6fsXgcQ2l2MW3G2uvDKwhO-LoSQfWGS_kYkd7/s1600/thanksgiving+casual+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpIWngrqxFFSfvBIJDofUKgo-7qlrMRRmLqF8XpXMCHbg2wzhMHZzxlqcHuok4B4oqG1YSf5TPZi_5052Lvj0s2O6XcPOhyBpgMj_aElm6fsXgcQ2l2MW3G2uvDKwhO-LoSQfWGS_kYkd7/s640/thanksgiving+casual+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you're wearing jeans, make sure you wear a pair that doesn't require a belt. Just avoid anything that is tight around the middle area of your body. I recommend jeggings because they make your legs look great and typically you don't have to wear a belt. Also, when wearing a flowy or big top, you should wear a tight bottom or vice versa if wearing a tight top, then go for a boot-cut or flare jean.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4tGhz_to-tInKSOBKsZ7eaKZ31rfTGa_YbtMQGmOCC2djwz2_MFMck6k4ZAsvEvaX6bmc8SSRqmog-k3FUpy2vdG30a5xOKyirOS1lNgJ0iw8RHO_OoXd28AarH6zJDoP97T8Mcf7_MnG/s1600/thanksgiving+casual+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4tGhz_to-tInKSOBKsZ7eaKZ31rfTGa_YbtMQGmOCC2djwz2_MFMck6k4ZAsvEvaX6bmc8SSRqmog-k3FUpy2vdG30a5xOKyirOS1lNgJ0iw8RHO_OoXd28AarH6zJDoP97T8Mcf7_MnG/s640/thanksgiving+casual+3.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sweater: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/Mossimo-Supply-Co-Juniors-Long-Sleeve-Cardigan/-/A-13651611" target="_blank">Target</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shirt: Urban Outfitters (<a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=72298&vid=1&pid=896847" target="_blank">Similar)</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jeans:<a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0431_7014_913&catId=cat90120&bundleCatId=cat4860004" target="_blank">American Eagle</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shoes:<a href="http://www.minnetonkamoccasin.com/CatalogMocsClogs.asp" target="_blank">Minnetonka</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Necklace: American Eagle (<a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=9198&vid=1&pid=909900&scid=909900002" target="_blank">Similar</a>)</div><div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kinda Casual</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFuy7AkFw4M4jC59zpMg5BNXBXdzUu8a16tH_z7eDUU1pd8OogeY-jc-RWj_kH8nFGQv8Dq9M_dF6Mq5yZym6z0URtM03OfMhDx3TMhF_THo3tBzQx4uZ6hN0NzXTIG1xvlWV-FTUHLY_/s1600/thanksgiving+semi-casual+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFuy7AkFw4M4jC59zpMg5BNXBXdzUu8a16tH_z7eDUU1pd8OogeY-jc-RWj_kH8nFGQv8Dq9M_dF6Mq5yZym6z0URtM03OfMhDx3TMhF_THo3tBzQx4uZ6hN0NzXTIG1xvlWV-FTUHLY_/s640/thanksgiving+semi-casual+1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If your crazy aunt tells you that the dress code for Thanksgiving is going to be a little different and she says it's going to be semi-formal this year, inside you really know she really means formal.  The goal is to not overdress and to still make your aunt happy. To reach this goal, mix rich colors with cotton and find a pretty delicate top and classy essentials to finish the look. And, of course, dress for comfort. This elastic waist skirt and loose-fitting top allows for both breathing and eating room.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDECbirhH0yjYInu4ztyteexlYbRbaTflKNLeFRnHpTopIYbFq1Qv9__krJ6lTvNzwfgjSS0ooKdh6ZvOC7W4rT1tMJNZoT7c4LrcdWjMKCbXzhdB-s9MwhFdTIBXwuDdWVE3ZXpqnrTy/s1600/thanksgiving+semi-casual+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDECbirhH0yjYInu4ztyteexlYbRbaTflKNLeFRnHpTopIYbFq1Qv9__krJ6lTvNzwfgjSS0ooKdh6ZvOC7W4rT1tMJNZoT7c4LrcdWjMKCbXzhdB-s9MwhFdTIBXwuDdWVE3ZXpqnrTy/s640/thanksgiving+semi-casual+3.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A cranberry skirt is perfect for the holidays because of its versatility. Plus, it fits right in with the season's style. Tulip style skirts and dresses add some sex appeal, showing a little more leg than normal hem-lines. A delicate lace top is another hot style this season and the beige color gives endless options and ways to mix and match with other items already in your closet. A black blazer adds a classy touch, but the chain necklace creates a rough edge to such a feminine outfit. I included a link to this shirt below. Always do a photo check with any thin shirt or lace design that doesn't have an undershirt. With the photo check you can see if the flash does the unexpected: a wardrobe malfunction at a family gathering.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZiIAdfe-ikYy7YIR3lGv1DU2115fy35d_S7RCPplLXbOu7T0OurqZuGTc3yKYnMAoOvu1N5nrXHLwdM07n1H9XFKpB-64g3G3fnMchBBnWPP_jUKLKijAhl71zgJbHbgXnE6FZBIQ8S-l/s1600/thanksgiving+semi-casual+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZiIAdfe-ikYy7YIR3lGv1DU2115fy35d_S7RCPplLXbOu7T0OurqZuGTc3yKYnMAoOvu1N5nrXHLwdM07n1H9XFKpB-64g3G3fnMchBBnWPP_jUKLKijAhl71zgJbHbgXnE6FZBIQ8S-l/s640/thanksgiving+semi-casual+5.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jacket: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55474&vid=1&pid=885882" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Top: <a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=0448_5310_123&catId=cat520027&bundleCatId=cat4910104" target="_blank">Aerie</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Skirt: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55402&vid=1&pid=886045&scid=886045022" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Necklace: Old Navy (<a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=9198&vid=1&pid=910107&scid=910107002" target="_blank">Similar</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shoes: Target (<a href="http://www.target.com/p/Women-s-Merona-Maris-Peep-Toe-Platform-Pumps-Black-Patent/-/A-13328239" target="_blank">Similar</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Fancy Tableware, Fancy Dress</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMpiBJQ92QW4IXVmUi7WA56Q9CzhXihD5bRhn0nkQlQgwFKLVH564G_xE5Or29wqe5XTXi08sqZSXdd1VAWQSvKVTgyThW4fUQ2JH2EQl84v0FbNTqx_m5Mw8eiXcqjxCZMCbWTE2CwlL/s1600/thanksgiving+formal+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMpiBJQ92QW4IXVmUi7WA56Q9CzhXihD5bRhn0nkQlQgwFKLVH564G_xE5Or29wqe5XTXi08sqZSXdd1VAWQSvKVTgyThW4fUQ2JH2EQl84v0FbNTqx_m5Mw8eiXcqjxCZMCbWTE2CwlL/s640/thanksgiving+formal+1.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This look can be used for any formal holiday event this season. It has a little sparkle and a lot of easy, ready-to-wear appeal. Throw on a pair of heels to show off the hours you've put in at the gym. Just because it's cold out doesn't mean you can't be hot. In the Thanksgiving aspect, this dress is made of cotton and has stretch, again adding to comfort to a full belly. The horizontal stripes are tricky though. Some people have the idea that stripes are not good for a bigger person because they bring out curves in the wrong places. With this design, it actually makes a person look smaller because of the layers of fabric.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhkUsqtj9bve4pBhtahq0QIj6AnEaKp9OVEXifsoL9gp1kxY5ycU9_4k0c0RwRSGn-Ji40FwYY5x-sgqu5qnapDjWlMFDfZrbuMLIZPSeSiiw8LH29iQ_hbAu2L8p03zn_fmKhXp7MhBk0/s1600/thanksgiving+formal+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhkUsqtj9bve4pBhtahq0QIj6AnEaKp9OVEXifsoL9gp1kxY5ycU9_4k0c0RwRSGn-Ji40FwYY5x-sgqu5qnapDjWlMFDfZrbuMLIZPSeSiiw8LH29iQ_hbAu2L8p03zn_fmKhXp7MhBk0/s640/thanksgiving+formal+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  To top off a beautiful dress, throw on a sequin sweater for holiday sparkle.
