The Thanksgiving Table Where Someone Brings a Camera

The Thanksgiving Table Where Someone Brings a Camera

Thanksgiving asks for something between a sweatshirt and a party dress. This set builds one outfit from a knit dress, sheer tights, low heeled boots and a slouchy beanie for the walk in. It is for one closet rail and a careful budget, with each piece doing a clear job.

  1. The sweater dress for the first cold walk to the bus stop

    The knit dress is the center of the set. The listing gives the blend as 29% acrylic, 29% viscose, 28% polyester and 14% nylon, in a ribbed, cable knit turtleneck that sits above the knee. Sizes run S to XL, and the seller notes that measurements can vary a little, so check the chart.

  2. The ankle boots you zip into on a rushed morning

    Tights come next, in a pack of three at 20 denier sheer. The fabric is 80% nylon and 20% elastane, with a control top and reinforced toes. Sizes run from small to 3X large. Three pairs means a spare when one is in the wash, which suits a small drawer.

  3. The pantyhose for the morning you finally wear the good skirt

    The boots keep the outfit low key. They have a 2 inch stacked heel, an inside zipper and a padded memory foam insole. The upper is faux suede lined in faux leather, and the shaft measures 2.75 inches. The grosgrain piping is a matter of taste, not measurement.

  4. The slouchy beanie for the cold walk to the bus stop, B06 khaki

    The beanie finishes the set. The blend is 15% cashmere, 35% wool, 20% viscose and 30% acrylic, and the listing gives a head range of 52 to 60 cm. This version is khaki, a soft neutral, though color is always a matter of taste. Hand wash it in warm water, and keep any pompom out of the water.
