THIS UNUSUAL PHEASANT CARDIGAN IS PERFECT FOR THANKSGIVING

Now that it is officially November, I guess it is fine to start planning our Thanksgiving dinner, right? Along with my dinner plans, I start looking for my perfect for Thanksgiving outfit. I am overjoyed that my daughter is coming home this year, especially since I haven’t seen her since January of 2020. I don’t know when your family eats your Thanksgiving dinner, but ours is always late in the evening. We usually don’t eat until around 6 or 7, and it has even been later than that.

We either have a large breakfast on Thanksgiving and no lunch so that we are hungry once the dinner is served. Sometimes, especially if we eat later than we intended, it is too long between meals. So, this year, I think that we will do a brunch instead of a large breakfast. My grandchildren from Tennessee are coming up this weekend, so I think that I will do a trial run to see how this turns out. Stayed tuned for an update later this month.

Earlier this month, I showed you some mix and match outfits that were perfect for Thanksgiving. Those sweater pants are great for when you eat a large meal but don’t want everyone to see you unbuttoning your pants. Lol! I figure that most of you might be wearing jeans on Thanksgiving, so I decided to show you an outfit with jeans. But, I couldn’t make up my mind on what shoes I liked, so I styled the outfit with three different pairs. Lol!

I was very happy with my Charming Pheasant cardigan, and as soon as I saw it online, I thought that it would be perfect for Thanksgiving. I know that it is pheasant on the cardigan and not a turkey, but I still think that it reminds me of Thanksgiving. You gurls will have to let me know if I am the only one who thinks this.

The website paired the cardigan with a denim shirt, and I saw one lady comment that she loved wearing hers with blue so it matched the band around the pheasant’s neck. I went with brown since that was a major color theme, but you could wear several different colors.

I am wearing a large so that I could wear a turtleneck or long sleeve sweater under it, and I think that this size was a good choice for me.

Here is the length of the cardigan, and it seems to hit me around the hip length. Not quite long enough for leggings, but still a nice length.

I forgot to take a photo of the label of the jeans that I have on. When you take photos of several different outfits, you forget what pants you have on. Most of the time you can tell what shirt or shoes that you are wearing, but jeans are a different story. I am thinking that these are a pair of girlfriend jeans that I just got. They look a tad bit slimmer than boyfriend jeans, so that is my clue. These may not be as expandable as the sweater pants, but I think they are perfect for Thanksgiving. I am wearing a size 1 in the jeans if that is the right pair. Lol!

I’ve carried this camel leather tote all summer long, and now I’ll be carrying it for fall. I told you that this was a great neutral color for a handbag, and if you are the type that doesn’t like to change bags, this is for you. The bag comes with a strap so that you can carry it over your shoulder or as a crossbody, but I like carrying it with the handle.

Are you nodding your head that you would rather wear flats for Thanksgiving than heels? These Tory Burch ballet flats are a pair that I’ve had for several years, and they look brand new still. I wear them all year round because they are a great neutral, just like the handbag. These easily slip on, they’re comfortable, they are a classic ballet style, and they are perfect for Thanksgiving. I am wearing my usual size 9, so I think they run TTS. If you are between sizes, then I might size up.

Now for the jewelry, I am wearing. The jewelry is simple and understated for these looks. I want to wear this on Thanksgiving, and a longer necklace might get the way of cooking. I can throw one on when dinner is ready, but I like the cardigan being the star of the show.

This is the last pair of shoes for you, and they are another neutral pair. I have a lot of neutral shoes because they go with anything, but sometimes you need a different style.

These suede chunky heel pumps are fabulous. The heel is not that high at 1 3/4″, so I think that most of you could manage this shoe. I love the pointy toe since it will elongate your legs and make you look tall and lean. This shoe is on sale at 40% off, and there are several different colors and styles to choose from. I am wearing the cognac suede, even though it looks much darker on the website.
