The Fashion Do's and Don'ts of Thanksgiving

A few days ago I posted a sample selection of how to dress for thanksgiving.
Here are a few do's and don'ts for getting yourself together.

Do - Make sure your hair is pulled back when in the kitchen.
Don't - Paint your nails before the festivities.
Do - Wear layers, depending on the household, amount of people, weather etc. Layers are your friend.
Don't - Wear tight fitting tops or dresses. NO BODYCONS. Food babies are not pretty.
Do - Wear neutral or darker colors to avoid embarrassing stains.
Don't - Use easily fading lipstick.
Do - Embrace the elastic waist.
Don't - Put on a jersey for a team you have no interest in.
Do - Rock that eye makeup.
Don't - Worry about a fancy updo, save that for the next holiday.
Do - Stack up the rings, necklaces, and bracelets.
Don't - Forget a sweater.
Do - Wear a great pair of closed toe flats.
Don't - Put on an outfit completing hat, are you really going to wear that to dinner. Manners.
Do- Wear a scarf, the thinner cotton kind, not the fluffy knitted ones.
Don't - Feel the need to explain every article of clothing to your grandma.

Thanksgiving Countdowns

Thanksgiving is a week away, better get working on that menu, dusting off the china, and prepping your ensemble. (Who am I kidding... I do all of that so last second I usually debate whether I should even bother changing out of my PJ's every year.)

There are three kinds of Thanksgivings.

1. The kind where it's just you and your closest family members.

2. The kind where either you have to leave the house or your subtly insulting and judgmental family comes to you.

3. The kind where you are the non-family member and want to make a great impression and not look like Julia Roberts before her makeover in Pretty Woman.
