Another thing I love about Thanksgiving is that everyone gets dressed up! I love any excuse to put together a new outfit. I especially love that you basically get dressed up to spend all day in the kitchen and then sit down with your family. It's laughable really, but I enjoy it just as much as the next person. I wanted to put together an outfit that is dressy but comfy this year and I think I found the perfect items!
You don't need to spend money on a new outfit for a one day event. Especially since you probably have so many pieces that can be put together from your closet. That's exactly what I did. I went for a simple black dress and paired it with a few accessories that really made it stand out! The first thing is the brown leather items that went with it. I paired it with a leather jacket and a leather belt to tie around my waist. The belt helps make the dress look less "puffy." The jacket was perfect for when I had to step outside, but once I was inside the hot kitchen the dress still looked cute without it. For jewelry I kept it simple, with a ring or two and a small dainty necklace. My favorite part of the outfit though were my knee high black boots and the boot socks with my monogram on it. It's a cute detail like that that really tied the outfit together.
