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!  

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!

October seems to be flying by.  I can’t believe that it’s already time for another Year of Color linkup post.  In case you just started following along, every 3rd Friday of the month I team up with some of my fellow blogger friends to host a link party called A Year of Color.  Each month there is a color theme and you can share ANYTHING you like on that color.  I always like to share an outfit post, because that’s what I feel I do best.  This month’s color is black!

I can’t lie, I was so excited about this color.  Black is always my favorite color to wear.  It’s easy to accessorize, you can wear it with anything, plus everyone looks good in black.  With that said, I had a difficult time narrowing in on what kind of outfit posts I would do for today.  I ended up deciding on one of my favorite wardrobe pieces in my closet…..a Little Black Dress a.k.a. LBD.

  In my mid to late ’20s my weekends were filled with going to weddings.  All my friends were getting married, and to be honest I couldn’t afford to go buy a new dress for every wedding I attended.  I bought this simple empire waist black dress for my rehearsal dinner (similar).  Instead of going with a traditional bride rehearsal dinner dress, I played it safe and went with a black dress.  I’m so happy I did because I’ve worn this dress on a number of other occasions since then.

Today I am going to show you how easy it is to accessorize an LBD like this.

The first way is a very classic traditional look.  I wore black patent leather pumps, rhinestone jewelry and a satin clutch with rhinestones.  This is perfect for a more formal wedding.  I wore this exact look at my husband’s cousin’s wedding in Chicago a few years ago.

For my second look, I chose leopard accessories.  I wore my gold sandals, with my leopard clutch and gold jewelry.

Shoes- DSW (similar) || Necklace- LC Lauren Conrad- Kohl’s (similar) || Clutch- H&M- ThredUp (similar)

For my final look, I accessorized with some color.  I always love how turquoise looks with black, so I wore turquoise jewelry with my turquoise clutch.  For shoes I went with my nude pumps.  I think that this look would be great for a destination wedding.

Hopefully this will give you some ideas on how to accessorize your black dresses and maybe help you out next time your stumped on what to wear to a wedding or special occasion.

I hope to see everyone back here next month for the color Orange. Don’t forget to leave your link below!

I’ve been dreading writing this Year of Color post for a while.  I always like to do some kind of outfit post with the color of the month, but this month’s color theme is neon. 

When I started to brainstorm outfits with neon colors all I could think about was an 80’s theme party outfit.  I felt completely stumped on how I could incorporate neon colors into my wardrobe.  But then I remembered that I do wear neon colors.  I typically stick to neutral colors when putting together outfits, but when I do dress in color, it seems that I always gravitate to bright neon pink.  I have a cute hot pink cold shoulder top that I’ve been wanting to share in an outfit post for a while, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity.  Today I have 3 looks for you to show how you can easily incorporate a bright color into your wardrobe.

For my first look, I wore my bright pink top with white pants, then I accessorized it with some gold and turquoise accessories.  I really love how the turquoise looks with the bright pink.  The two bright colors go well together.  I also love how the white pants help keep the whole outfit bright.  It’s a great look for summer.

I’ve always liked pink and black together, that’s why for this next look I wore black shorts, black wedge sandals and a black satchel purse.  I accessorized with a turquoise necklace.  I figured that this would be a cute look for a summer date night out.  

Shorts- Forever 21 (similar) || Purse- Last Call (exact) || Shoes- Target (similar)

The last way that I wore my pink top was with my distress jeans and I accessorized it with a cognac bag and sandals.  This is a more casual everyday look for me.  I like keeping the accessories simple, because the bright pink is a big enough statement.

Here are some similar pink tops I found that you can style in similar ways.

Do you incorporate neon colors into your wardrobe ever?  If so, how do you wear it?
