With Thanksgiving (thankfully) less than a week away, and an unbearable amount of work (not so thankfully) to cram into the two day week, your turkey day attire is probably the last thing on your mind.

So I’ll keep it short and sweet this Monday, so you can get back to whatever hefty assignment you have on your plate until the stuffing and mashed potatoes arrive.

Wondering what to wear to your family Thanksgiving celebration? Me too. How do I look classy without looking like I’m going to a job interview or a night out on the town? What shoes do I wear if I’m going to be inside all day? What looks good pre/post Thanksgiving dinner food baby? What doesn’t ride up as I lounge on the couch for some parade/football action or that late afternoon turkey induced nap?

I’m not sure either. But here are some tips to get you started.

Wear a dress. This loose fitting dress from Zara is absolutely darling, and the thin belt gives an otherwise shapeless design a sense of feminine appeal. Bonus: the belt can be loosened after dinner and again after dessert. If your budget doesn’t allow some last minute shopping, wear a loose fitting dress you already own. Try to stick with muted colors that are understated but fancy. A dress lets you feel super pretty all day and is a thousand times more comfortable than denim and a sweater.

Trade lip gloss and smoky eyes for a “less is more” look. And bright lips of course. Lipstick might be my favorite fashion accessory, and it’s not just for old ladies with cats anymore. With super cute colors and the ability to look good with essentially every skin tone, lipstick is a must. You look done up, but not too done up for family photos, and it won’t wear off as the day goes on. I geek out about colors, and the Sephora Maniac Long Lasting Lipstick comes in about a thousand of them. Well more like 19, but at $12 each they’re the best. Ps. the thinner than usual applicator ensures that you never have clown lips.

With the nippy late autumn air, there is no excuse not to wear tights, or maybe I just look for every excuse to wear them. Anthropologie has the best tights in the world for about $20. No saggy knees, no “I’ve worn these once and now they have a tear,” and the prettiest colors in the world. Hint: this might be how you get rid of that post dinner food baby I talked about earlier. If I had to pick a couple pairs, I might go with these and just for fun, these.

Skip the heels. Flats are so much more comfy. Plus, it’s super crummy to try to walk in heels on carpet.  Target has some super cute ones in a wide array of colors for under $20.

So readers, what are you planning on wearing this Thanksgiving? I would love to hear.
