I know I’ve been showing you a lot of sweaters lately; after all, it is sweater weather. But in all honesty, sweaters are pretty much what I wear every day once the weather starts to cool off. Today I’m styling a sweater and jeans for Thanksgiving, and I think it looks casual but still stylish. I hope you enjoy today’s outfit inspiration post.

Even though I think I want to get all gussied up for holidays, that isn’t what usually happens. Cooking and talking with the family throws my schedule off, and more than once, I’ve run into the closet and grabbed a sweater and a pair of jeans for Thanksgiving.

This Olive Fairisle Crewneck Sweater is perfect for Thanksgiving! I love the colors, and since it is such a busy print, you’ll never know if I drop some food on it. 😝 You know I’m crazy for a Fairisle sweater, so you shouldn’t be surprised that I would pick one to wear for Thanksgiving.

The sweater is a nice weight and soft against my skin. I’m wearing a medium, and the sweater fits great and won’t show all my lumps and bumps even if I eat more than I should.

The Modern Ankle Jeans have a modern straight-leg fit and olive green velvet tape that runs down each leg. These jeans have a relaxed fit but aren’t baggy or loose. To wash these jeans, you need to turn them inside out first and wash them with like colors. I’m wearing my usual size 8, and they fit great.

Look at this Pebbled Leather Satchel Bag! This satchel is the perfect medium size, and the leather is soft and subtle. I love that you can carry this bag as a satchel, a shoulder bag, or a crossbody. That gives you a lot of options on how you want to carry the bag, depending on where you are going.

I’m not sure why I prefer suede instead of leather. Don’t get me wrong, I love leather too, but suede looks so luxurious. I will wear leather all year round, but I hardly ever wear suede any time other than fall and winter. The Francesca Suede Driving Flats are gorgeous, and I love the tassels. Several comments were made about the back of the shoe rubbing your heel, and that happened to me also when I first put them on. I bent them at the toes and then bent the back of the shoes, and when I put them back on, they didn’t rub anymore. You might want to try them on in a store if you are worried about this issue. They run TTS; I’m wearing my usual size 9.

Since I’m talking about wearing jeans for Thanksgiving, I thought I would show you a couple of other outfits that I’ve recently styled. These would also look great, and they are both styled with dark wash flare jeans instead of ankle jeans.

    I love the look of the dark blue boot cut jeans with the pointed toe boots. They go nicely with the sweater you chose.

  2. Tammy Gravis says:

    Love this oufit.

  3. I love both of those Fair Isle sweaters. But I do have to say that color blue in the last picture looks amazing on you!

  4. Agree you csn wear jeans and look nice and put together. My favorite go to jeans are dark wash boot cut and a cut pair of booties. But I do like a skinny straight with shoes like you had on.

  5. Kellie Johnson says:

    My family is very casual for Thanksgiving. Most of us are in sweats or lounge pants and sweatshirts. I wear sweaters alot in the cooler months also. I’m always looking for nice, non-itchy sweaters.

  6. Love the sweaters and jeans! That’s my go to for Thanksgiving too. Casual yet put together. Thanks for all the nice sweaters you have shown in the past few days!

  7. Linda Williams says:

    I love the Fair Isle sweaters this year as well as the Talbots shoes. I love that blue on you. The blue is my favorite. I live in North Carolina about 25 miles from Danville, VA. If you come to NC do you see a difference in the styles. I’m not a fashionista or anything but I do look at what people are wearing. I try to look nice everywhere I go. I am retired so I am very casual. I do love your casual style. Keep up the good Work!!😊

  8. Love the jeans with the sweaters.

  9. Love the olive sweater and the flair jeans. It’s cold here in Washington state, but I usually wear short sleeves with a cardigan instead of sweaters. I tend to run hot now that I’m older. I’ve started getting 2 or 3 emails from you. Only 1 actually opens. Don’t know why that happens.

    1. Janet, that was an oops moment from me. I think I have the issue worked out, so you shouldn’t get but one unless I goof up again.

  10. Rosalinda says:

    Thanks for the beautiful sweater options! The olive green one is beautiful! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is a few weeks away! Have a great day

  11. Patti Lou says:

    Gorgeous fairisle Sweater. Those are perfect fall ensembles. Great job Tania!

  12. Love those green shoes! I’ve never tried Talbots’s shoes.

  13. Love all the sweaters but I live in Texas so you never know what the weather will do, I typically layer so I can peel off if it turns out to be hot on Thanksgiving which can certainly happen!

  14. Love the outfits and accessories!

  15. You always find the cutest sweaters! This fairisle sweater will be perfect for Thanksgiving

  16. Love all of the sweaters

  17. Stephanie says:

    I’m a jeans and sweater girl myself – always cold so I need the sweater. Thanks for showing many options.

  18. “Sweater Weather”!!! Live in the Chicago area so these will be great for the upcoming winter season!! I especially like the olive fairisle sweater.

  19. Cathy Allen says:

    I love all the sweaters Tania-thank you!!

  20. Love these great looking comfy outfits! I usually go for comfort on Thanksgiving but try to make it stylish similar to what you have on the blog today!!!

  21. I love wearing a sweater and jeans combination. Since I live in Indiana I live in them for 6months of the year. I appreciate you sharing all of the sweaters and I love the fair isle trend.

  22. Love the sweater 😍 and it’ll be jeans and sweater for me at Thanksgiving too.

  23. I love the boot cut jeans.

  24. Kelly Brooks says:

    Love sweaters you look great. Love those jeans with the flats.

  25. Bonnie Sokoloski says:

    I love a fair isle sweater but not too practical here in Florida, wore sweaters every day when I lived in Alaska, though!!

  26. Patricia Jubin says:

    I live in South Louisiana therefore I don’t buy sweaters unless it’s thin or on clearance. We may have 2 or 3 days sweater weather(If we’re lucky). I will buy a cardigan but it’s usually off by the end of the day.
