Thanksgiving Edition

It’s that time of year where you give thanks, spend some time with family and friends, and eat lots of turkey!!  Sorry that I have been on a hiatus for a little while, I got married back in October and now I’m starting up Crazed Chameleon again!  Normally people don’t really care about what they wear for Thanksgiving, but for those who like to dress nicely around their friends and family that they may not have seen for a while – I’ve got some outfit ideas for you!


Outfit #1 – Casual and Comfy
This outfit is for the girl who likes to be comfortable but still look put together.  My go-to outfit formula for you is a plaid shirt + cardigan sweater.  I always like incorporating an autumnal color scheme for Thanksgiving so I paired my plaid shirt that contains various fall colors and brick red jeggings.  I chose the jeggings because they are as comfortable as lounge pants for when you eat too much food.  I topped the outfit with a camel colored grandpa cardigan sweater, quilted purse, and cognac riding boots to finish the autumn inspired look.  I kept the jewelry minimal with just diamond stud earrings since the outfit already contains plenty of color and texture.

Shirt: Old Navy // Pants: Kohl's (Lauren Conrad Collection) // Cardigan: Old Navy // Purse: TJMaxx // Shoes: DSW 
Outfit #2 – Tailored
This next outfit is for the girl who wants to take the next step up from jeggings and have a tailored and classic style.  My go-to outfit formula for you is a turtleneck sweater + trouser bootcut jeans.  Every classic style girl has a pair of dark washed tailored trouser jeans.  I paired my trouser jeans with a pumpkin orange ribbed turtleneck.  If turtlenecks aren’t your forte, then swap it with another sweater of your choice.  I accessorized the outfit with a vintage necklace and chocolate brown faux suede heeled boots.  It’s always best to pair trouser jeans with a shoe that has a heel to help elongate your legs.  I topped the ensemble with a classic camel wool overcoat.

Outfit #3 – Boho-inspired
This last outfit is for the girl who likes to wear a dress or is attending a semi-dressy Thanksgiving dinner where jeans are too casual.  I paired my brick red prairie inspired midi dress with black patterned tights and camel ankle boots.  I picked this dress because the boho silhouette and fabric represents a combination of casual while being semi-dressy.  I picked patterned tights instead of opaque ones to add some texture while the faux suede ankle boots and eclectic necklace continues the bohemian vibe of the outfit.

Dress: Old Navy // Shoes: Charlotte Russe // Necklace/Tights: Old
