I HAVE MY PARTY OUTFIT, NOW I NEED A PARTY
I need to have a Christmas party this year. We haven’t had one in ages, and I would love to have a small gathering of my neighbors to get to know them better. I’ve already got many party outfits, so now all I need is a dining room table. Lol! I guess I get to go furniture shopping in the next few days.
I’ve only met a couple of neighbors at our new house, but the ones we’ve met have been so nice. Joe and I were just talking the other day that we couldn’t ask for any better neighbors. The gentleman on the right watches over our house when we aren’t here, and the one on the left takes care of our yard and does all kinds of handyman work. We have truly been blessed, and I am so thankful they are our neighbors.
This wool-blend gold embellished jacket might be overkill for a neighborhood party, but it would be a great party outfit for a work party. There are times when you want to stand out, and there are times when you want to blend in. This is definitely a stand-out kind of party outfit.
Black and gold are a classic color combination, and this jacket would look great over a long black dress for a black-tie event. I can see being able to wear this jacket as more than just a party outfit, so think rehearsal dinners, going to a play, or even a night out on the town with your hubby.
I am wearing a size 1, the jacket fits me great, and I still have room for a thicker sweater, so I don’t think that will be an issue. The jacket would look great with these dresses below.
I’m wearing a black turtleneck under the jacket. I wanted to wear something that wouldn’t take away from the jacket, so this turtleneck doesn’t have any bells or whistles. Lol! There is one that I have on order that has a metallic stripe on the sleeves that will look great with jeans. I am wearing my usual size 1 in the turtleneck, and the fit is perfect.
I can’t get over how pretty this jacket is, so I’m going to show you a few more photos that show it in greater detail.
If you’ve never ordered jewelry from Chico’s, then you will be surprised at the quality. I never expected a clothing retailer to have such excellent quality jewelry, but Chico’s is great. I added a few pieces from the Black & Goldtone collection since they will be great for a party outfit. Here are the links to the tassel necklace, the tassel earrings, and the link bracelet.
The matching rings are by Kendra Scott, and I loved how great they looked with the Black and Goldtone jewelry. This set comes with three pieces, but I am only wearing the two crystal bands. Those who have been following me for a long time know that I used to wear a black opal ring.
As you can see, the ring has broken, and a whole row of diamonds is now missing. This ring has been worn every day for over 25 years (it was a 10th-anniversary present, and Joe and I just celebrated 35 years on the 14th), so I was anxious to get it fixed. However, when COVID struck, the jewelry shut down.
Finally, the other day, I talked to them, and they told me to send them the ring, and they would fix it for me. I can’t say enough good things about this jeweler; they’ve fixed the ring one other time when I lost the large opal and hardy charged me anything. So, if you need a piece of jewelry, be sure to check out their page.
I’m sure you’ve been wondering when I would tell you about these gold ankle jeans! As soon as I saw these jeans, I knew that I had to have them. These So Slimming ankle jeans will look great any time of the year, but they are especially great for a party outfit. I can’t wait to wear these with navy or bright pink, and I think they will look great with a denim jacket.
I am wearing my usual size 1, but since I’ve lost some weight recently, I think I need to size down to a .5.

Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! For simply taking the time to share you outfits and advise.
Your posts are helping me give my wardrobe a much needed update. Thank you!
Love the outfits you style and the jewelry you match with the outfits. I can shop in my closet sometimes and come close to something your styling and give the outfit a fresh new look
Wonderful holiday choices! Delighted with your selections! All ideal for a party but still in very good taste…..not “overboard” as many modern choices are!! Thank you and hope your Thanksgiving is Wonderful….and Merry Christmas…Christ The Savior Was Born!!!
Love it, absolutely stunning!
You look so good in that outfit! I really like the jewelry but find I rarely wear that type and it sits in my drawer. I’m always looking for casual-looking jewelry styles (maybe mixed metals/not shiny) and am not sure where to shop for it.
That is a SHARP outfit! Love it!
EVERY year get the claws checked on your rings….they wear over time when you are not noticing. It is not worth the heartbreak to lose a stone from a ring when all we have to do is regular maintenance, Put it on the list with the other yearly appointments (like the dentist)
I like this for a party outfit! You look great! I always enjoy your fashions and the inspirational portion of your posts. Love and blessings to you and yours!
Very pretty outfit! It sounds like y’all do have some awesome neighbors in your new neighborhood. We are blessed that way, as well.
Tania that is a very stunning outfit!! Hope you get to have the party! I knew youd lost weight & mentioned it earlier. Good job!
I love Chico’s jewelry. I buy from the Chico outlet store for great jewelry deals also
When you order today, even from the tried and true, you never know what you will get. Sometimes you get a happ surprise. My gold turned out to be an antique gold, almost brown and I was thrilled. Love the jacket and I can see it worn with jeans and riding boots too. boots
Love those gold jeans! Ordered them last week and received Wednesday- but they came in a very dark, almost bronze color. I have emailed them about it! They look great with that jacket!! You look great in everything!
Love the gold pants! I thought you had lost some weight. Congrats!
What a beautiful outfit. Love the jacket. What are you doing for the weight loss? You’re looking so good and I need to know how you are doing it. You mentioned before that you might have a post about it and I’d love to hear how you’ve done it.
Love that jacket!
Gorgeous outfit!
You are so right about good neighbors! They are a blessing!!
OMG! What a beautiful outfit! I would love to meet you but feeling kind of glad we don’t hang out with the same people since I keep buying all the same clothes! I just reordered the Redefine eye cream again, I can tell a difference in my eyes since I ran out about a month ago! Hoping it takes affect real quick when my order comes in so I can feel wide eyed again!
Beautiful Outfit!! Good luck on the search for a dining room table. I have been furniture shopping lately and everything seems to be very low in stock and long waits for items that need to be ordered.
This Chico’s outfit is absolutely gorgeous! I am thinking about purchasing it! I love the jewelry with it, too!
Great outfit, perfect for a holiday party….and I can see your weight loss! I’m enjoying your posts.
Love that jacket on you. Yes you should have the party! It would be fun! I Iike the outfit but it may be kind of warm if you are the hostess unless the party is outside. Have fun planning.
I think a neighborhood Christmas Party is just a great idea ! It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and Celebrate the ones you know! You look so nice . Please share how you have dropped the weight. Still waiting for your thanksgiving favorite foods.
You look great as always. Great neighbors are definitely a blessing. When are you going to share your weightloss secrets? I have been noticing you shrinking over the last few months!! I need some motivation 🙂 please share.
You look beautiful as always! Thanks for bringing me back to Chioco’s, too. And as a side note, I thought you were looking slimmer. Congrats!!! Perhaps you could post how you did it, even if you think it is just common sense, I would love to know. and because you are so motivational and uplifting, I just know it would be inspiring. Happy Thanksgiving Tania!
Beautiful but comfy looking outfit. I love shopping at Chico’s for special occasions!
Absolutely LOVE that outfit. If you don’t have a Christmas party you can wear it for New Year’s Eve. I LOVE getting dressed up for NYE even if we are boring now and staying in. We try to do fun family things with our 12 year old son Joey as he’s the only one home. The girls are adults now and live out of state.
I love everything about this dressy outfit! Stunning! As always you’ve knocked it out of the park. Go buy that dining room furniture! Fun, Fun!
Beautiful outfit!
You are definitely party ready with your beautiful outfit!
Let’s see the ring fixed!!!
Yay for buying new furniture, no matter the reason! Yay for a Christmas party! Yay, you’ll be the best dressed at the party!😜
Beautiful outfit. I love Chico’s, bought most of my clothes there until I retired two years ago. Still wear them but don’t buy much now.
I keep reading size 1 is that a typo?
Kit, Chico’s doesn’t do normal sizing ranges, a size 1 for them is about the same as an 8 misses. But, I think that Chico’s runs a tiny bit big, so instead of ordering my normal size, which is a 10, I size down to an 8 (size 1)
The outfit is gorgeous! I have always noticed Chicos jewelry…it is all beautiful!! I love every piece.
Love the jacket!
I think Chico jewelry is great!
I love, love, LOVE this outfir! I really like the gold jeans with it. I can see them with so many outfits.
I had noticed that you seemed to be slimmer in your photos. You look great! – but I thought you looked good before also! 🙂
Tania I love this outfit. I received the Chico’s catalog the other day and saw the jacket and loved it. Low and behold I opened my email from you this morning and you are wearing it.
The gold pants are oh, so striking!
Love the outfit. I have noticed the weight loss, can you tell us your secret? Would love to get some advice to lose a few lbs. You look fabulous!
Love this outfit. You look great. I guess I will be shopping at Chico today

Now, THAT’S a classy outfit
Dear Tanya, I would like to say thank you for all the good fashion advice and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Jacqueline
I love these outfits love how you put them together the jacket is awesome. Thank you again for the Bible verse praise God.
Love, love, love the black and gold jacket!!
Have the party, you look great! Love everything about this outfit.
I thought you looked as though you had lost some weight. What was your secret? I ordered a new dining room table in may. It came in August. The new bedroom suite came in 4.5 months. Maybe its better where you live. Good luck.
Thanks for all the pix you post! They really help me visualize mix and match possibilities.
Terrific jacket and gold jeans that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
I hope Joe agrees to the Christmas party! And good luck in finding a dining room table that you can get right away. Around here it is taking several months to get a piece of furniture. I’m so glad you and Joe are enjoying the new house!
What a beautiful outfit T! Congrats on losing the weight. I’m having g a hard time losing my covid 10. Hope you have that Christmas party 🎄🥳
