Thanksgiving is almost here and I have decided to give you a few ideas on how to dress to the nines for your gathering with friends and family. Fall has always brought me towards more nature based colors, especially the color of the changing leaves. So enjoy these three looks inspired by the fall season and the Thanksgiving holiday.
This first outfit is a comfortable look when hanging with your family after the feast, lounging and socializing. I began with the sage green button up shirt, that went under a brown corduroy blazer. The outfit can work with or without the blazer, but it does make the look a little more put together and cleaned up. Next a medium wash jean with a unique military seaming for the pockets. The shoes are where the comfortable factor really comes in, they are a moccasin/slipper type in a sand brown color. Lastly, a leather corded, coin necklace with a cross detail. A belt can be added with this look, but stick with a shade of brown.
This next look is a more formal, but still very casual outfit. It began with the argyle sweater. I love the very "fall" coloring of the sweater, which makes it easy to pick a color for a shirt to go underneath. I chose the navy blue diamonds to match a navy blue (almost black) button up, collared shirt. Next a modern, medium wash, distressed jean. An old Europe family crest inspired medallion compliments the classic feeling of this look. Last, but not least, a brown dress shoe makes this outfit a very nice and appropriate look for a dinner out, or a formal get together.
Now on to our femme look! This began with the charcoal gray belted dress. That belted detail pulls attention to an hourglass shape and the looser top gives room for a fuller breast and shoulder. The leggings are an optional piece that can be worn or not depending on comfort/weather. The length is important, it should be about mid-calf. Leggings that stop at the ankle give an illusion of "cankles" and at the knee or above make the thigh look bigger. So when wearing leggings try to get ones made to fit mid-calf, if you plan to wear them with the bottom showing. (Leggings that fall to the ankle look fine under boots) Next I paid homage my fall palette with a dark orange, semi-pointed toe flat. Notice the totally cute bow detail! For a little extra warmth a brown sweater was added, I recommend it be worn open and unbuttoned so you can show off the dress. Brown chandelier earrings match the sweater, and the green/orange/tan pendant bring a few more fall colors into this Thanksgiving look.
So everyone enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving, eat lots, enjoy your family (as much as is tolerable haha) and show off your sexy selves!
