Washable Workwear Wednesday: The O’Hara Boyfriend Blazer in Velveteen

I wear an older version of M.M.LaFleur’s O’Hara blazer regularly. Just in time for the holidays, their latest take is made from an elegant (and washable) velveteen fabric.
This blazer’s long hemline and slim shoulders make it sleeker than your typical boyfriend blazer. Wear it with jeans or the matching trousers for a full suit. You can even play up the subtle sheen at your next holiday party with some bold, sparkly jewelry.
The O’Hara Boyfriend Blazer in slate blue is $529 and comes in sizes 00-20. It’s also available in several other fabrics (some on sale, lucky sizes only).

My FIL decided to start smoking at the age of 60. I have a sensitive sense of smell and absolutely HATE cig smoke. DH never regained his sense of smell post-COVID.
How do I tell FIL that smoking is not acceptable on our property? He very rarely visits so it’s not usually an issue, but he’ll be here for Thanksgiving and I just don’t want that irritation. My in laws do not communicate directly, ever, so any time of direct communication is met with incredulous hostility and defensiveness.
On the few occasions he has visited recently, he smokes outside by his car, but the scent remains on his clothes (and then our furniture).
The smugness with which I declared myself done Christmas shopping – and the realisation that my child is still formulating his Santa list in his head. Today’s additions – a big set of Plus Plus blocks, a log that you can grow mushrooms on, and cat shaped onigiri molds. I can’t even really grumble because it’s the 19th of November, a perfectly reasonable date by which to make Christmas requests and these are very modest requests.
