Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas- 3 Pieces, 3 Ways

November 19, 2020 by Katie Haller

Thanksgiving outfit ideas
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and even though this year’s holiday season might look a little different than usual, I still wanted to share some cute Thanksgiving outfit ideas.  I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving this year.  We will be celebrating with family at a small gathering and to be honest, I can’t wait to pick out my outfit!  For those of you who are keeping your gatherings even smaller and just celebrating at home with your immediate family, I always find that a cute outfit will help brighten your day and help you enjoy your holiday no matter the circumstances.
Today I thought I’d share 3 different pieces from my closet that I think would be perfect for styling for Thanksgiving or any of the upcoming holidays.

Colored Turtleneck

I love my maroon turtleneck from Target.  I think it’s the perfect color for Thanksgiving.  You will match the cranberries!  I think that any fall color turtleneck would be great to style for your Thanksgiving outfit.

Plaid Shirt

Flannel plaid shirts are so popular right now and they are great to have around the holidays.  You can do a lot with a button-down shirt when it comes to outfits. This green plaid flannel shirt is perfect to wear for Thanksgiving and will also go great into the Christmas season as well.

Neutral Color Sweater

I have a bit of an obsession with neutral color sweaters.  I can’t get enough!  Having a sweater that is light enough to layer under and over different pieces in your wardrobe is key for the colder months.  I’ve linked some affordable sweater options below, including the one I’m styling here.

Planning outfits for a cruises cruise can be so much fun and I can’t resist a good theme night! Each cruise is different, but these were the theme nights from my 3-night Royal Caribbean last year. 

Make sure you check your itinerary to see if your cruise has any theme nights planned!

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
