1 Dress, 3 Ways For The Holidays: Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! Happy Black Friday! If you're anything like me you'll be enjoying the deals and steals of today from the comfort of your bed/couch. I've never been one to get up at the crack of dawn (especially after stuffing my face the night before) to head to the store for deals that I can easily find online...in my bed. If you do head out today, I wish you safe travels, you're a braver soul than me ;)

Before I get back to my online shopping rampage, I want to introduce you to a outfit challenge I decided to give myself for this holiday season that was inspired partly by Anthropologie's Fancy meets Functional photo spread and because I always love a good challenge. When the holidays roll around, do you find yourself constantly purchasing outfits for every party or family get-together? Because I do. Something cozy for Thanksgiving, something to make you stand-out for a holiday work party, something classic for Christmas, and god forbid if you don't have something shiny and new for New Year's.

 Well this year, that shiny, metallic, jacquard number you see above will be the only dress I'm wearing for the entire season. I'll style it three different ways (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's) to show how a special occasion dress can be mixed and matched within your wardrobe.

Urban Outfitters Dress & Sweater / Audrey Brooke Riding Boots / H&M Knee High Wool Socks

 What I like most about this dress is how it can easily standout on it's own, but can also be dressed down enough for a more casual evening by simply adding a quirky sweater ( or a chunky cardi) and classic riding boots. Thanksgiving was a great night spent with family and friends gorging on amazing food, playing games and simply enjoying each other's company. I didn't feel too over dressed and was even comfortable enough to  run around with the kids.

I also made a Sweet Potato Bourbon pie that was pretty awesome and I'm more than likely eating the leftovers for breakfast as you're reading this. Just sayin' :)

Hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving and score some deals during Black Friday! Thanks for reading!
