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.

I don’t share my husband much on here, but this I don’t share my husband much on here, but this trend felt like a fun way to look back at our story! I had to dig deep on Facebook for some of these photos! 💕

He was the one who told me that shopping wasn’t a hobby and I needed to find a free hobby to keep me busy when we were first married. 😅 So I started a blog about living life to the fullest and dressing my best on a super tight budget.

Little did we know that “free hobby” would not only one day turn into my job, but it would also be a way to fund my shopping habit. Even helping me become a smarter shopper along the way! 😉

Fun fact: The name “Thrifty Wife, Happy Life” came from him. When making big decisions, Kevin always said “happy wife happy life”. So when I was brainstorming a name for my blog that popped into my head and I decided to do a little play on words. The original name I was going to pick was “Katie’s Closet”. I’m glad I went with the name I did!
