So its one of my favorite times of the year again: THANKSGIVING! I love the meaning of the holiday because it is all about giving. The spirit of generosity should not be confined to one day, it should be year round, but for some it is so lets just make the best of it.
Besides this time being about the spirit of giving, it is also about spending time with family, friends, and eating great food! I told my cousin who is the family chef that I’m looking forward to some fried turkey, mac and cheese, potato salad, collard greens, sweet potato pie…I’ll stop there lol. So here are my suggestions for looking stylish, feeling comfortable, and camoflaging the thanksgiving food belly
1. Comfort is key! Wear things that stretch
- Leggings
- Tights
Choose a funky design or pattern or stick with the basic colors
Republic $27
Mod Cloth Stripe for Success Tights $35
2. So now that we are in our comfort zone with leggings/tights we need to pair them with something that is roomy to hide the bulge
- Oversized or belted cardigans and sweaters
- Ruffled Tunics
Anything large that gives your midsection enough room for expansion is key
Yes Style $42
Old Navy Jet Sweater Cardigan $45
Dorothy Perkins Animal Print Ruffled Tunic $50
This thanksgiving I’ll probably wear one of my many sweater dresses (I have more than enough to choose from) So here are some options for the all-in-one look
Alloy Megan Dolman Sweater Dress $42
Yes Style Knit Sweater Dress $44
As for the footwear, take it simple 5-inch pumps is a bit much for grandma’s kitchen. Try a cute pair of embellished ballet flats, riding boots, flat over the knee boots, or a cute lace up or wedge bootie. Anything over 3 inches may cause a serious side-eye.
Happy Eating!
