$25 Dressbarn Gift Card Giveaway

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away.  I have so much going on that life is just a blur of busy-ness.  On most days I’m a jeans and a sweatshirt kind of girl.  I’m not very fashionable and I prefer to be comfortable since I work from home and take care of my three children.  Holidays are the exception.  I like to dress a little nicer to celebrate.  Dressbarn makes it easy for people like me.  Below you’ll find Effortless Thanksgiving Fashions from Keith Fulsher, dressbarn Chief merchandising Officer.

No matter what type of celebration, there’s no reason why the turkey should be the only thing well-dressed on Thanksgiving:

The Indulger (go on, have that second slice of pie)
If you plan to ditch the diet for a day, be sure to wear clothes that won’t show how stuffed you are:

• Empire waist dresses will be your best friend, especially when paired with tights and tall boots, which will create a slimming effect
• If dresses aren’t your thing, opt for an open-front blazer will to keep eyes away from the midsection
• Jeans should have a bit of stretch to keep you comfortable while in a food coma
• Lighter fabrics mean less bulk

The Do-It-All-Herself (cooking, cleaning, setting the table—she’s a solo act)
Not getting any support from friends and family? Keep your look (and tone) cordial.

• Since you’ll be on your feet running from one thing to the next, opt for chic, yet comfy flats
•  It’s going to get hot in the kitchen, so select loose, lightweight materials
• Patterns will help hide any underarm sweat marks
• Don’t wear anything with hanging embellishments or wear dangling jewelry as it will only get in your way when cooking
• A shorter length skirt with tights will help keep your cool
• Tuck in your shirt if possible to prevent it from getting dirty and to make yourself look put together while being in five different places at once
•  Opt for darker hues in case of a spill or splash

The Comfort Queen (If football watching is in your future)
Just because your celebration is laid-back, doesn’t mean your style should warm the bench.

• A stylish, loose shirt and a great fitting pair of jeans will score big points
• Opt for satin shirts, chunky knit sweaters or capes
• Skinny jeans tucked into a pair of boots or paired with flats will win over your guests

I love the mix and match style of these pieces making it easy for a girl without much fashion sense (me) pull of a put together look.  For these looks and more, visit www.dressbarn.com to order online or find a store near you.  Right now, all sweaters are BOGO 50% off and if you spend $100 you’ll earn a $10 savings card!
