Turkey Day Dressing

November 17, 2019 in fall fashion, holiday

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the holiday season is quickly approaching. Where has the year gone?! Other than enjoying a delicious meal (of course!) and spending time with family and friends, dressing comfortably, yet stylish, is a favorite of mine during Thanksgiving.

I think a dress rather than jeans is perfect for Thanksgiving because I know I’m going to eat so much yummy food! I am always more comfortable in a dress and then I know I will be food-coma ready. πŸ˜‰

If you read my last post, Falling for Sweater Weather, you know Burgundy is a favorite color of mine to wear in the fall. This dress is no exception! The fabric is also SO comfortable which makes the dress easy to wear all day.

Take a look at these dresses that I know are just as comfy:

One way that I like to style a dress so it is a little warmer during fall and winter is by adding a blanket scarf. I think this can give your look more dimension. A blanket scarf is also a great way to add a pop of a pattern or color!

Here are a few favorite blanket scarves to try:

If you’re in need of a blanket scarf tutorial, check out this post by the Stylish Petite.

For my accessories, I chose my go-to fall earrings that work nicely with the colors in the scarf and dress. I mixed gold and tortoise shell for the bracelets to keep it classic.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! Be sure to subscribe to stay tuned for updates. My holiday gift guides will be coming soon!

See below for the pieces to re-create my comfy, food-coma ready, Thanksgiving look.

9 years of Kristie in Carolina and 10 since I made this place home! Life looks a little different these days (hello, two kids two and under πŸ‘ΆπŸΌπŸ‘ΆπŸΌ), and I don’t post as often as I’d like, but I’m grateful for all of you!

This past year brought big milestones: Ellie Kate making her arrival in January, launching @elliegraycreativeco in February, stepping into my role as @juniorleaguews president, to name a few! 

Thank you for being here and following along through it all πŸ’› Cheers to another year πŸ₯‚
