What Would You Wear: Thanksgiving Edition

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and whether you will be visiting family, friends or either of the two of your significant others, you've most likely thought about what you'll wear and the above pictured was not what came to mind.

When I think about appropriate outfits I am brought back to Serena's last Thanksgiving outfit on Gossip Girl (yes I went there), the color palette is a little too on target (i.e. trying a bit too hard) but I still like it:

Seeing as the temperature is consistently remaining in the 30s, it seems a sweater would be most prudent. If you feel like being uber on trend, then you may as well go with a sweater dress. Er on the conservative side if meeting the parents obviously, my favorite for this is a tailored dress with a modest hemline paired with a cardigan of sweet-hue. Hey, I have to look innocent somehow.

I'll be spending the holiday with friends along with a group of people I do not yet know. I love being thrown into situations where I know almost no one, later to leave the gathering with a dozen new friends calling out "Let's get together soon!"

I most likely will not be wearing brown (I wear tan, but only on the bottom half of my body) but a gorgeous deep orange suits my coloring like this Michael Kors wool-blend shift:

If I were spending time with family, I'd keep it a bit more comfy casual, perhaps a Vince top and slim cut trousers (not too slim, I have a healthy appetite and need room to breathe!) Cute heels that are wearable for more than a few hours are a must, I prefer comfort most of the time unless I really decide to dress up.

If you get a bit fashion-restless like myself, do something different! Plum isn't exactly outside of the fall color spectrum but something like this D&G long-sleeved lace dress or Burberry cap-sleeved dress are fun alternatives:

I'm off, so many errands to take care of and two more books to get through before my writing internship begins (one of my new projects).

Have a wonderful weekend and delicious Thanksgiving!
