What Do You Wear for Thanksgiving?

on November 24, 2009 at 7:00 AM

I like to dress up for holiday gatherings. Heck, I like to dress up whenever I get the chance. I went to brunch for a friend's birthday this weekend and I wore a pretty dress just because.

My sister, on the other hand, always wears jeans. And yes, you can dress up your jeans, and she always does, but I like to take it a step further.

But this year, I'll be 35 (and a half!) weeks pregnant on Thanksgiving and it's at my house, and I think the last thing I want to do is dress up. (I'm not cooking...my husband is and different family members are bringing food, too.)

I'm thinking a presentable pair of lounge pants and long sleeve black top. OK, I'm thinking of this simple pajama set I have from Victoria's Secret (similar to the one above). It doesn't look like PJs, right?

What do you think? Do you dress up for Thanksgiving? Where are you spending the holiday?

What To Wear To Thanksgiving Dinner?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

I usually just wear jeans or chino pants, and a sweater or something. All depends where we are going. This year we will be in the car a lot so I have no clue what to wear!

But I will be dressing up my jeans, too! I have a really comfy cute brown sweater that I will wear with some flats or those moccasin type shoes, ya know?

I'll be at home, so no dressing up.

I have always had a secret desire to serve Thanksgiving dinner in my sweats....those VS ones are darling - so you do it & and tell us all about it, how comfortable you were, how relaxed and how much fun you were able to have because you didn't have some dang waistband digging into your side after you ate too much stuffing and how twins started jumping around and clapping inside because they LOVE pumpkin pie...ummm...maybe this is just my version of happiness! LOL

growing up we had to dress up for holidays and i hated it. now i def dress up when we go to Mass [as usual] but am more casual if there is no Mass, or i will change into some more comfortable. i am excited for this Thanksgiving, i bought a new orange v-neck long sleeve top and a short sleeve, 2 button gray sweater type thing to wear over it. im not usually not one for fashion or fads but saw this look in an ad for kohl's and fell in love with it. im going to wear it with jeans though so it wont be super fancy.

If I go somewhere.. yes. But just hanging out at home? No. This year its just DH, me and the kids, and my best friend who's staying with us for a month. We dont have anyone to impress!
