How to Prepare a Thanksgiving Outfit

Definitive dates call for a gourmet ensemble. Something layered with interest, infused with style, peppered with the unexpected.

Such a day is Thanksgiving, a day in which my ridiculously ample blessings require generous gratitude from my person. And in order to convey my bountiful internal thanks, I need to make full use of articulate outer fittings. Below is a step by step recipe should you have appreciation to express as well.

Ingredient 1: Simple, sophisticated basics
Like butter and salt, a fine underpinning and a clean-lined knee length skirt are necessities for every sartorial pantry. Appropriate foundaions for every age, occasion, and season.

Procurement Point:
ModBod Perfect Capsleeve
ModBod Pencil Skirt

These ModBod basics are priced affordably enough that one can procure them in multiple colors. The stretch in both ensure a flattering fit and keep shy body ranges (shoulders & knees) out of view.

Ingredient 2: An ambrosial blouse
Something that speaks of nutmeg and cinnamon. Earthy, warm, and redolent. I chose a delicate tie-neck silk, just enough to add interest but not so much that it overwhelms. Procurement Point:
(This illustrated model is no longer available, but these alternatives are)
ModBod Anna Ruffle Neck Top
Victoria’s Secret Silk Georgette Tie-Front Floral Blouse

Step 3: A textured jacket
With a feminine nod at Sherlock Holmes, this nubby wool cape makes cozy chic.
Step 4: Apply Accessories
You can see a small smattering of my accessory choices photographed above, but my full dream list is available at Sensibly Styled.

Procurement Points:
ModBod’s Belle Skirt
Anthropologie Fizzy Floribunda Blouse.

Felicitous Wishes for a Jubilant Thanksgiving!
