Thanksgiving Outfit Idea
When I started putting this post together, I thought maybe I should hold on this one until it’s closer to Thanksgiving. Then, I realized that Thanksgiving is just over a month away! I mean where the did year go! I have a few different types of holiday looks for you this year from casual dinner to office holiday party to this dressy casual look perfect for an evening celebration.
This Thanksgiving outfit idea would also work for Christmas or just a nice dinner out. The satin material, dark jewel tone color, and button sleeve details on this top dress is up perfectly for the holidays. I paired it with jeans for a semi-casual look, but you can easily dress it up with pencil or pleated midi skirt.
To add a little holiday fun to this look, I added in some red tassel statement earrings and my snakeskin heels. Tan suede flats and gold stud earrings would be another alternative. I also added in my greens stone necklace. I think the two greens together are fun and add to the sophisticated chic look of the top. This top also comes in a few other colors. I went with this gorgeous dark green because it’s not a color I have too much of in my closet.
What is your typical Thanksgiving outfit style? My family is usually a little more casual with sneakers, booties, and more casual tops.

A Chic Way to Style a Cropped Jacket
A few years ago, I saw a look like this one on Pinterest and immediately began a quest to find the perfect cropped tweed style jacket to recreate the look. Every time I would find the perfect jacket, the price tag was usually not so perfect. I had such an exact idea in my head, and I started to think I would never find the jacket in my desired price range. Ever get like that where you have something in your head, and then spend hours, days, in my case years trying to find it.
When I found this one, I could not believe my luck. It was the exact style and color I wanted and a pretty decent price. Here’s the downside for ya’ll, I apparently was not the only one searching for this jacket and it sold out before it even made it to my doorstep. I’m going to keep my eyes out for a restock, and I’ll share over on Instagram when it happens!
This jacket is not a true tweed but a knit with houndstooth print that reminds me of a tweed like look. It has cute fringe details on the sleeves and faux pocket. It’s an open jacket with one sparkly button at the top. This white top and black jeans and boots combo is the outfit I have been trying to recreate for a cute fall or holiday look. It’s such a chic way to style a cropped jacket. I also think this jacket will work to dress up a t-shirt or pair with a fitted dress or pencil skirt for work. The knit design keep it lightweight and easy to move in which I really like.

Holiday Dinner Dress
Happy Thanksgiving Week! What are your plans for the week? I have to work for the first half, but the second half is all about family, comfort foods, and sale shopping! Don’t worry I am planning a big sales list on Friday and Monday for you along with a cute fall work outfit post on Friday. I’m going to spend the next few days making my gift buying list and a list of all my places to check out for a little treat yourself shopping. I’ve been holding back on a few purchases to hopefully find them on sale this week.
With Thanksgiving just a few days a way, I wanted to share the perfect holiday dinner dress that can also be worn to the office. If you saw my casual Thanksgiving outfit post on Friday, then you have gathered that I’m loving the brown and black for Thanksgiving this year.
This dress is so comfy ya’ll! Tie waists and Thanksgiving are totally meant for each other too. If you over indulge, you can just loosen the tie a little. 😉 I also love the ruffle sleeve on this dress. It has a band at the wrist which really makes this dress work in a variety of weather, perfect for our crazy Texas weather. I wore this dress to work and pulled up the sleeves to 3/4 length during the hot part of the day and pulled them down in the cool morning and evening.
Also, these peep toe booties are the same ones from Friday. I love that they pair so perfectly with both jeans and dresses! They come in a few colors, but I love this brown shade for fall and spring.
Alright ya’ll, have a wonderful start to your week! Be sure to check back on Wednesday for my next gift guide, and Friday for the cutest work outfit plus a full list of Black Friday Sales! If you are looking for something specific during the sales, drop me a comment and I will see what I can find!

Casual Holiday Party Outfit
Ready to start planning those holiday outfits? I have lots of outfit inspiration coming to you for Thanksgiving and Christmas over the next few weeks. For the holidays, I try to put outfits together that can also be worn or restyled for everyday wear. Originally, I picked out this top as a cute date night top. I love it paired with jeans for a dressy casual outfit, perfect for a casual Friday night out with that special someone or a group of your favorite ladies. You can pair it with a skirt to dress it up and wear to a nicer event. I think it would look like perfection with a black leather pencil skirt. You can easily pair this top with any color, but I couldn’t resist pairing it with my new metallic red heels and red statement earrings. It’s an easy way to transform a date night look into a casual holiday party outfit.
Well friends, freezing temps are finally hitting Houston. Well almost freezing at least. I am so not the biggest cold weather fan, and I’ve already given in and turned on my heater. I am excited to pull out a few sweaters and my boots again though. I enjoy the cold weather for a few fashion filled days, and then I’m over it. Luckily in Houston, the weather this time of year is all over the place. It’ll probably shorts and sandals weather here soon. 😉 I hope ya’ll have a great week, and be sure to check back later this week for the start of my Holiday Gift Guides!
