Hi there! I text my friend the other day to tell her I couldn’t believe I received an email about what to wear over the holidays in October. She assured me that she is actually shopping for the holidays, and I am the odd one out in being surprised, ha! Anyway, that brings me to today’s post. Sometimes it can be such a bummer to purchase a dress you love and feel like you have to hold it for a single occasion. So, I thought a blog post about dresses you can wear throughout the fall and on Thanksgiving might be helpful.

The Perfect Denim Dress To Wear With Any Shoes
My denim dress is stunning in person. It’s 100 percent cotton, so it’s insanely soft. I love how it has a tie at the waist that makes it feel polished but not overly formal. You can use my code NATALIEM20 for 20 percent off! It’s a great price and well under $100. Okay, if you’re wondering how this dress looks with boots, I was too! So, I tried that outfit on for us, ha! I just knew it would look perfect with knee high boots, and that’s exactly how I would style it for Thanksgiving Day. Click here to see a video of how that outfit looks! Okay, one last outfit idea with this dress – I think it would look so cute with black tights (semi-sheer) and patent black ballet flats.
If you prefer a midi length denim dress, try this one in a dark denim wash or this one in a lighter denim wash. The dark denim dress has hundreds of positive reviews, and you can use code YOURULE for 20 percent off.
Black Maxi Dress With Burgundy Accessories
This black midi dress has a loose fit that is soft and breathable. I love this look for date night just as much as I do for the holidays. Burgundy is definitely everywhere this fall and winter, so I included shoes and a bag that give this outfit a fun, subtle pop of on-trend color. I also love to add texture to an outfit in the fall, and this faux croc does just that!
This dress would also look nice with black knee high boots – I love this pair!
Corduroy Mini Dress
I’ve been eyeing a few corduroy pieces because I’ve just always loved corduroy for fall and winter. This chestnut brown knee length dress is perfect to wear to Thanksgiving dinner, to a fun wine tasting, or a lunch with friends. It feels like fall in a dress! It’s 100 percent cotton, too, which I love. Use my code NATALIEM20 for 20 percent off, which makes this dress under $100. If you’re wondering what shoes to wear with it, it will look really nice with knee high boots, and you can definitely wear it with sneakers too. I would go with leather boots because it will be a nice contrast of texture against the corduroy dress.

Brown Nap Dress Or Burgundy Nap Dress You Can Layer
I’ve been eyeing this brown nap dress, and it’s the perfect example of a dress you can wear for so many different occasions. It’s one of those pieces you can grab and style for pretty much anything, whether that’s a casual weekend or your Thanksgiving outfit – the definition of versatile! I also love the burgundy option, especially if you love jewel tones. Burgundy is very on-trend this year too. Anyway, I would layer it with this cardigan and wear brown boots. This style of dress is a nice option if you’re pregnant or a mom who is breastfeeding, too.

Knit Dress With Matching Cardigan
This dress and matching cardigan are gorgeous. Use code YOURULE for 20 percent off your order. You can wear this to work, on a date, to family dinner, out with friends, on a fall or winter holiday, or to Thanksgiving. Despite its fun design, you can get so much wear out of this! I absolutely love how the matching cardigan makes the entire outfit look polished. Maybe it’s because I’m a millennial, but this outfit reminds me of something someone from Clueless would wear, and I mean that as a compliment! The length of the cardigan sleeve is perfect to wear with a watch or bracelets. I would also wear this with knee high black boots, but it would look really cute with loafers, ballet flats, or other flats as well. I linked a few below that I love.
One of the best parts of matching sets is you can wear these items separately. This cardigan will look nice with jeans, over a work dress, or with a skirt. The dress would look cute with a blazer.
Neutral Shirtdress with Belt
If you love neutrals, this dress is a strong option for work, the weekend, or the holidays! The built-in belt is such a nice detail, and I think it really elevates this dress above a typical shirtdress. These boots are the perfect black boot to wear all fall and winter with dresses or skirts. I’ve been eyeing them for myself!
Burgundy Dress With Cozy Cardigan
The gathered drape on the front of this dress is such a nice detail. You can dress this up with a leather jacket, or wear it a little more casually with the cardigan I’ve chosen here. This cardigan is 80 percent wool, so you will definitely be cozy! Either way, the beautiful burgundy color is perfect for fall, whether you’re going to Thanksgiving dinner or drinks with a friend. Don’t forget to wear your favorite jewelry! I would wear this look with a brown, cream, or burgundy bag.
Bright Tweed Dress
Okay, neutrals aren’t for everyone, so I included this absolutely gorgeous tweed dress. Look at how fun these bright colors are! Tweed is the perfect fabric for fall. You can wear this to Thanksgiving if you have a family that loves to dress up – or maybe you’re visiting with someone whose family goes all out with the dress code. Or, maybe I’m just thinking of Gossip Girl, ha. I love the metallic shoes with this dress, so I didn’t go too far from that vibe. I’ve been thinking about this watch for a while now, and I’m thinking I’ll add it to my Christmas list this year. It also comes in a two-tone gold and silver version that I love. It will go perfectly with outfits like this or with something as simple as jeans and a t-shirt.
Boatneck Dress With Buttons
The button details and the boat neckline on this dress make it stand out. The ruching on the shoulders is also gorgeous. I love this dress in the solid color option because you won’t miss any of these details that make this dress so unique and beautiful! I would wear this anywhere, including to work, on a date, and as my Thanksgiving outfit! I linked below the boots that I would wear with it. The nice thing about this dress is it goes with both black and brown!
