November Sunday Showcase: A Thanksgiving Outfit Option

November 7, 2021 /

I am glad to share the spotlight once again with Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) who is back to blogging after a couple of months break. Today we are sharing some Thanksgiving outfit ideas. I will be sharing another holiday look next week which could work throughout fall and winter. Living in the South, a fall outfit may or may not work for Thanksgiving. It may be chilly or it may decide to be 75 degrees. We have been spending Thanksgiving in Florida for the past few years, so I usually do not wear one of these options as they are typically too warm but I love the inspiration that can be used for other get togethers in the fall.

I oftentimes wear pants on Thanksgiving, stretchy pants at that, but I thought it would be fun to share an outfit with a skirt. This less than $10 skirt was a find at Gabes which is a store that I feel is a cross between Ross and TJMaxx.

In the fall, I am all about fall colors and these boots and this shacket are quintessential fall colors as well as great neutrals. I found the boots on clearance last year in summer on the Sole Society website. The shacket was my last buy this fall 3 weeks ago: I took advantage of one of the Old Navy sales and shopped the girls’ section for extra savings! This one looks like the same but in a different color way since mine is out of stock. I am wearing size XL because they did not have the larger sizes (it comes in girls XXL and 2X) so it is a little short in the sleeves. I actually like it that way since I often times pull my sleeves up if I am wearing long sleeves.

My son and I enjoyed taking these pictures by the bales of hay. It was pretty funny because I had past this spot several times that week and kept saying that I wanted to take pictures there before they picked up the bales of hay. While we were taking our pictures, a gentleman was doing just that: he was picking them all up and stacking them on wagons. Great timing on our part!

I do not change my purse very often: I am too lazy for that but tend to wear the same purse for several weeks to a couple of months in a row. This Amazon one I tend to wear in the fall. I really love the braided detail on the front and the fun tassel (the one linked is in a different color). I can wear is as a crossbody or just over the shoulder.

I wanted to show the interesting detail on the boots (that I also wore in this Thanksgiving outfit post last year) as well as the length of the shacket in the back: it is slightly longer and as a reminder this is a girls not women shacket. I am 5’4″.

I love taking picture in locations with few people: I can act a little crazy and not be embarassed. One way to wear layers when it is not really cold is to wear a tank top as your base. My Target tank tops have been in heavy rotation. I do not wear necklaces very often but when I do they are typically pendants as they are handy to give interest to a plain top.

I love that both Ada and I are sharing non pants outfits and I am really loving that dress of hers. The textured pantyhose really add a nice dimension to the dress too.

This month I chose Imogen’s post Question you ask yourself when building a wardrobe (Inside Out Style blog) since I have been working hard on that this year at times buying items, other times purging or curating my wardrobe to reflect who I am as well as having periods of time when I halt my shopping. I really like the question about figuring out what is is that you like about your 5 favorite most flattering pieces and figuring out if they had anything in common.

One of my favorite things in the fall where I live is the fields: the fields of cotton and the fields of grass that are harvested into balls of hay. I pass them every day on the way to the boys’ schools and they look beautiful in the fog, in the morning light and at sunset.

I love fall!

A bientôt!
