Dressing for Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the turkey is not the only thing that will need to be dressed. Now it may come as no surprise that you can not show up to Thanksgiving dinner naked and you will have to put on some clothes but what you choose to dress yourself in is the question here.  Thanksgiving for my family has always been our biggest holiday.  Lots of family comes in from out of town and we do a kind of classy buffet style potluck dinner.  We have our typical  Thanksgiving dishes and the ones that are probably a little different like the little tiny hotdogs in jam sauce or the marinated shrimp and onions.  We evaluate which dish came out a little dry or which dishes we love or hate (I am not a fan of the jello fruit compote thing that almost everyone else seems to love). Half way through our first serving we start giving each other tips of which thing to get seconds of and what was so delicious it doesn't matter the calories, just enjoy it because we won't eat that until next year again.  So everyone knows that food is the star of Thanksgiving but in my family we also always dress up for the occasion.  Nothing fancy or over the top but everyone puts thought into what they wear (even the guys) and all try and look nice and festive.   I think it's our way of saying we love each other in a way.  Plus, in the wise words of my mother, "Look good, feel good." We take time to look good for work or parties or presentations so why shouldn't we look good for our dearest friends and family?   I always try and find the balance between comfort and style because Lord knows this is not the holiday to be wearing all sorts of restricting items.  Leggings or stretchy jeans, boots and a loose-ish sweater in a beautiful jewel tone I think is going to be my outfit of choice this season.  To accessorize and draw the eye up towards my face (and away from the belly full of sweet potatoes with melted marshmallows, yumm!) a dramatic pair of earrings and  layering necklaces will stylize and brighten this casual yet chic outfit.  What do you ladies like to wear to Thanksgiving?  How does your family typically do it?  From casual to dressy to somewhere in the middle come in and we would love to help you feel like the best you for your loved ones and to celebrate in style all the things we have to be thankful for!
