Three Styles, One Fashionable Thanksgiving
Nov 26th
Thanksgiving, the one holiday that is actually about food. If you’re anything like me, I don’t necessarily feel my most beautiful and put-together self when I’m stuffing my face for 24 hours. It’s hard to resist those comfy and stretchy yoga pants, but don’t give in! Here are three fabulous outfit inspirations to keep you looking fabulous (as usual) this Thanksgiving.
1. Cozy and Versatile
This outfit is great for all of the active ladies. Whether lounging with the family or running around with the kids, this outfit is comfortable but ready to go! Citizen jeans are the epitome of classic casual, and the Theory knit sweater is a subtle touch of cozy and confident. Tory Burch boots add a little glam, and the Burberry scarf ties the whole thing together for an unstoppable ensemble.
And wouldn’t you know, this Burberry quilted jacket from STA 324 Newbury St. goes perfectly when it’s time for the family football game.
2. Elegant and Feminine
Sometimes we celebrate Thanksgiving with a loved-one’s family instead of our own. But don’t let that frighten your holiday fashion sense! A feminine, chic outfit is appropriate for any Thanksgiving atmosphere. We love this blouse from Ralph Lauren, which you can dress down with Calvin Klein black skinny jeans. Then add your personality in the accessories! We added some sparkle with Rebecca Minkoff loafers and a Marc Jacobs bracelet.
These Prada silver jeweled flats from STA Armitage are a fabulous way to add some glam to your sophisticated ensembles. And If you’re a guest, the Chanel cross body from STA Haddonfield can carry all of your little necessities while you’re out!
3. Stylish, Yet Forgiving
Maybe you’re like me and love to spend Thanksgiving with a glass of wine in the kitchen with the women of the family. All I know is I don’t want to wear anything too restricting, especially as I’m nibbling all day! A dress is a great way to stay comfortable and fashionable. This Marc by Marc Jacobs short dress allows you to move freely around the house. Paired with black tights and Chanel boots, it screams bold and down to business. And we can never resist a good accessory, like this Michael Kors collar necklace.
And don’t forget a Michael Kors boyfriend watch from STA 176 Newbury St. is a mandatory accessory on Thanksgiving to keep track of all the madness!
Happy Thanksgiving fashioniSTAs!
Get a Feel for Fall Dresses
Oct 24th
Let’s admit it, we all love a good dress. An understatement I know, but who can resist their cute and flirty feel while also being the most comfortable option out there? We mostly think of dresses as a summer essential. But just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean you have to hide those legs just yet. To get that perfect fall feel, bring on the textures!
That’s right, this season leather is making a comeback once again, and we couldn’t be more excited. Whether it’s a jacket, boots, or bag, what better way to add both edge and sophistication? Just take your summer dress and throw on your favorite leather pieces. The simple accents can turn any dress into a fearless fall ensemble. We love complementing the flirty feel of a dress with the cool confidence of a leather jacket. Add a leather bag for a timeless sophisticated touch. And don’t forget your leather boots to enhance that autumn feel. Goodbye sandals, these boots were made for walking.
Quilted pieces are a must-have this fall. Channel your inner diva and rock your dress with a quilted bag, or strut your stuff in quilted shoes. Even try a dress that’s partially quilted (but careful not to overdo it!). We love playing up the little black dress with a pop of color from a quilted cross-body bag. Even pair your go-to floral dress with a quilted jacket or purse! The soft pillow-y texture can perfectly transform any dress to a killer outfit for the colder season.
Stay warm and cozy with a classic fall look, wool and knit. Add a knit scarf or sweater to bundle up for the brisk days, or add a touch of bohemian with wool tights. We love extending the life of our summer florals or stripes by pairing them with an over-sized cardigan. And we can’t resist the good old-fashioned sweater dress for an instant autumn style. This texture is a timeless fall fashion that’s fantastic for embracing the season.
So search your closet to its deepest corners, hit the racks at your favorite store, and flaunt your fall dress with confidence!
