Is it just me, or did Black Friday come early? My inbox has been flooded with store sales this weekend, but luckily it allows the perfect chance to buy a Thanksgiving Day dress without the guilt that comes from shopping for yourself too close to Christmas..
Rules for Thanksgiving Day dressing are first and foremost comfort, but preferably in a way that still feels festive. Above that translates to an easy dress, simple flats, and a few pretty extras. For those who go out to eat, use it as a chance to be a little fancier – with a flouncy printed dress and sparkly add ons. If you’re hosting (which I am), a neutral floral shift dress that won’t wrinkle – and may even hide a few stains – will be a life saver. Round out the mod mood with ballet flats and glittery barrettes to keep your hair out of your face while cooking. And for those headed to the In-Laws (or other family dinners), a textured shirtdress and classic accessories will make you a chic guest. All three dresses are under $100 (two are on sale!), and all are far more polished than those elastic waist leggings you were considering.
