Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas (for eating lots of food!)

Do y’all want to know what makes me irrationally mad? When influencers share outfit ideas for Thanksgiving that include tight, form-fitting clothes or pants that DON’T have stretchy waistbands. It’s so small, yet it irks me to no end. I love Thanksgiving. I feel that having a holiday based mainly around food, with no obligation of buying gifts, is one of the greatest things about America.

However, when I dress for the occasion, the last thing I want is for my outfit to constrict my ability to eat as much food as I possibly can. I want my paper plate to be so loaded with food that it’s at risk of falling apart. A Thanksgiving is successful for me if by the end of the night, I have a food baby in my stomach.

Therefore, this Thanksgiving outfit ideas post will only consist of outfits that can handle eating copious amounts of food. You will find no high-waisted jeans here, nor will there be any bodycon dresses. All waistbands will be stretchy. These will be outfits that allow you to look cute but also eat your body weight in mashed potatoes (or whatever your Thanksgiving food of choice is).

Recent Purchases: Vol. 1

I’m honestly shocked it took me this long to come up with this idea for a blog post. I shop all the time (it’s kinda bad…), so it’s only natural for me to do a blog series on my recent purchases. This will differ from my favorites because I won’t be able to add commentary to add everything since they will be newer items, but it’s still a fun way for me to share things I’ve bought lately. Without further ado, here are some of my recent purchases. Links are below, plus a few notes on things!

Supergoop Glowscreen | Disposable Face Masks (I guess I have a small face because most “adult” face masks I’ve tried fall off my face. These are kids’ sized but they’re perfect for me and super comfortable.) | Hill House Coat | Ribbed Mock-Neck Top (Loved it so much, I went back and bought all three colors!) | Glamorous Wash Laundry Detergent | Clogs (on sale with limited sizes; similar pair for less here) | Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil | Black Nap Dress | Collared Sweater (I went a size down in this) | Jewel-Button Cardigan | Apple Watch | NARS Blush (purchased in the shade Orgasm)

Welcome to Dresses & Democracy

Welcome to Dresses & Democracy

Hi, I'm Talia! Dresses & Democracy is my little corner of the internet. I blog about politics, fashion, lifestyle and whatever else I want to cover. I'm a twenty-something originally from North Carolina but currently living in the Washington, DC area and working in politics. I love news podcasts, grandmillennial style, the color pink, headbands, being extra, cocktails that involve champagne and spending far too much time and money online shopping.
