What to wear for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday in my family.

This year we will be having a very low key family filled Thanksgiving and remembering what we are grateful for in this life. I am sure I will be wearing something comfortable and casual… but dressing up is fun too! It is only two weeks away so here are some ideas of what to wear when gathering for the holiday.

The mixing of textures and fabrics is the key for these outfits. Velvet is so hot right now and give me a chunky knit any day! I also have a handful of friends heading to warmer climates for the holiday so check out the final look if you are lucky enough to be in warmer temps!

Cozy Casual

Joie Skinny Park Jean – So comfortable and a nice switch of from jeans. You will wear these on repeat.

Free People Freemont Fringe Scarf – Plaid scarf… because it’s Thanksgiving!

Relaxed Glam (is that a thing?)

AG Moto Velvet Pants – I bought these last year and lived in them. Slightly dressier since they are velvet but the moto style zippers add a nice edge.
