Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

Style influencer Jessica Sturdy of Bows & Sequins shares twenty two of her favorite outfits for Thanksgiving weekend.

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week! I can’t believe it’s already November, let alone the second half of the month. (Even more so because I’m out of the country and not in my usual environment!) I rounded up over 20 of my favorite fall outfits that would be great for all sorts of Thanksgiving festivities — meeting your boyfriend’s parents, a fancy feast, a casual get-together with your extended family, dinner with your in-laws, turkey trots, or even a super casual afternoon watching TV with loved ones. There’s an outfit here for every occasion!
