One of my favorite holidays is now just days away. That holiday is THANKSGIVING! I love any holiday that focuses on food! I am looking forward to all the delicious food that my family will prepare. I can just taste the stuffed bell peppers, baked macaroni, ham, turkey, buttered rolls, peas, desserts and gumbo now! (licks lips and wipes slight dribble of saliva from chin).
Another big event that happens during this time of year in the South is the Bayou Classic. It’s a big football game, step show & battle of the bands between Southern University and Grambling State University that takes place in New Orleans. The events begin the day after Thanksgiving and last throughout the weekend. Thousands of people travel from near and far to attend the Classic and to enjoy the sights (and food! Lol) of New Orleans.
As with any big holiday or event, fashion plays a major role. Many people spend countless hours deciding what to wear to the festivities. Well, Im here to help with a few suggestions!
One of the big pieces of advice that I have for both: COMFORT IS KEY! On Thanksgiving you want to make sure you are wearing an ensemble that has great…ummm…“wiggle room”. LOL Make sure your look isn’t too form fitting which can become even more form fitting after a plate or two (or three)! Attending the Bayou Classic festivities includes a lot of walking! A LOT! Trust me, I went one year, wore heels that I hadn’t broken in yet, and regretted it! Choose not only clothes that are comfortable and weather appropriate (check weather updates because Louisiana weather can be very unpredictable!) but also shoes that will allow you to walk for long periods of time without much discomfort. No matter how cute your outfit is, if you’re limping because of a newly formed blister, your entire look can be ruined.
Below are a few outfit suggestions that I have for both occasions!
Fur and leopard are two big trends this fall. Here's a look that incorporates both:
Sequins can be very fun to wear. The next two looks feature sequin pieces with pops of colors to complete the looks.
The last look is a basic black sweater dress look. Added pops of color and a sassy shoe like an over-the-knee boot can make this basic look the topic of dinner conversation!
So, good luck shopping and planning your looks! Remember, have fun, be safe & enjoy your holiday!
Happy Eating,
Coco
