Give Thanks

Happy day before Thanksgiving Y'all!!! 

Today's post will be short.  It's almost the holiday and I still need to get packed up for all the running around we will be doing!

But I realized after my post on Monday, that I made it seem like my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the food.  And don't get me wrong, the food is great!  The problem is that that's often the focus on holidays.  Not just Thanksgiving, but Christmas as well.  And that's not where we should be focused on such a wonderful day as Thanksgiving!

Thursday is supposed to be a day that is focused on giving thanks to what we've been given, and those around us!  It's about all the blessings we've been given in our lives.  So why have we strayed from that?  I know that I often forget to thank the ones around me for all that they've done for me.  So I decided that today's post, I'd just remind everyone to spend Thanksgiving focused on your families, on your friends, and remember to thank God for everything He's given you! :)

"Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name." 1 Chronicles 29:13

Also, when did stores start opening on Thanksgiving Day?  I know Black Friday has been around for as long as I can remember, but in the last couple years, a lot of stores are opening their doors on Thanksgiving!  I don't like that at all.  I know that it's a tactic so that you get all the great sales earlier than Black Friday, but Thanksgiving is supposed to be about surrounding yourself with family and friends, being together, being thankful, etc.  I don't know, maybe I'm the only one that takes issue with that, but I just think that it's taking away from a day that's supposed to be special for us!

However, I know that many of you will be out shopping for Black Friday (I'm not one of you, you will NOT see me out...I enjoy sleeping in) so be safe!

See you soon!

XOXO.

Thanksgiving Day Outfits

Thanksgiving is fast approaching! I am so excited!! I waited a little too long for me to do this post the way I wanted, so I apologize for how crappy the quality is!

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the food.  I'm lucky enough to get TWO Thanksgiving dinners on Thursday, so I like to dress comfortably.  I know that I experience a pretty serious "food baby" after all the delicious food, and there's nothing worse than the button from your jeans cutting into your bloated belly.....SO here are some comfy, but stylish, outfits you can wear, that will give a little if you overeat like crazy on this holiday!


One of my favorite items that I like to wear when I know that I'll be sporting a full, bloated belly is a nice pair of jeggings. They give the appearance of skinny jeans, but give like leggings. Best of both worlds! My favorite place to buy these is American Eagle.  I've always preferred their jeans to other brands.  Here is a link to their jeans/jeggings! The following are a couple ideas of cute outfits that would work with skinny jeans OR jeggings! I love the idea of pairing them with a chunky/big sweater, because it wouldn't be too tight on you after a big meal.

The next couple are dresses. Because dresses are SO comfy and with tights or leggings are plenty warm if you are going to be experiencing a cold Thanksgiving (which we are this year!). The bottom picture has a fuzzy vest with it, I'm not a huge fan, but I know that there are a lot of people who can pull that look off!  Target has some that are pretty cute if you are in the market for one! You can find them here!

I'm still pretty undecided about what I'll be wearing this year! But I hope these outfits gave you a few options!  I'll post on Friday with a picture of whatever I chose! :)

See y'all soon!

XOXO.
