Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Year of Color- Making the Most of Your Wardrobe – Orange Cardigan

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life-3 Orange Cadigan Thanksgiving Outfits

I can’t believe that it’s already mid-November!  Christmas is right around the corner, but first, it’s one of my favorite holidays… Thanksgiving!  I love Thanksgiving because it’s a holiday devoted to eating yummy food, being with family and friends and reflecting on what you’re thankful for.  I hate that Thanksgiving gets overshadowed by Christmas.  I like to take it one holiday at a time. 

Just like every holiday, I love to come up with fun festive outfits.  Since Thanksgiving is still a fall holiday, I like to wear some sort of fall color…like orange, which happens to be the color for November’s Year of Color linkup!  

A Year of Color Link Party

I don’t own a lot of oranges, but I do like it.  Last spring I found this H&M cardigan at Savers on one of my thrifting trips.  I really liked the rust orange color.  I felt like it would be perfect for fall.  Today I have put together 3 fall outfits that would be perfect for wearing for Thanksgiving.


Sometimes you might want to be a little dressier for Thanksgiving, so I picked a stripe swing dress for this look.  A swing dress is perfect for eating a big meal because it’s extremely comfortable.  It’s also perfect if you’re in you’re early stages of being pregnant or postpartum.  It hides your tummy perfectly.  I like to wear tights with my dresses when it gets cold out.  I love the way the tights look with my black booties.  I choose to mix it up a little and add a leopard clutch.

This next look is more casual.  Just like the swing dress above, I love my swing tank tops.  They are super casual and comfortable.  I like to tuck mine in and layer a cardi over it.  To accessorize I added a statement necklace, booties, and a cognac purse.

I often find myself wearing leggings for Thanksgiving because let’s be honest, what’s more, comfortable than leggings?  I tend to eat a lot of stuffing, so I hate feeling uncomfortable in jeans.  A cardigan, scarf, and boots are the perfect way to dress up your leggings.

Now I just need to decided what I will actually wear for Thanksgiving this year.

Next month is the last month of a Year of Color.  It’s all about metallic colors for December.  Get all your fun outfits, makeup, decoration, recipes and craft ideas ready to share.  It should be a great way to end the year!  Don’t forget to leave your orange link below!
