Classy Thanksgiving Outfit + 5 Safe Topics for the Dinner Table

It’s no secret that I love a little black dress so it only made sense to snag a new one for the holiday season. So many people get stressed about what to wear during the holidays, but let me tell you. If you have a little black dress, you’re ready for any occasion. I ordered this scalloped neckline dress from Draper James because it’s the perfect classy Thanksgiving outfit that can be re-worn for holiday parties and beyond.

All you need for your holiday parties is THIS @draperjames dress. Find out why PLUS some safe dinner table topics: Click To Tweet

I’m also sharing a list of topics to bring up around your family that encourage conversation that doesn’t turn angry or awkward. We’ve all been there where someone’s brought up something about another family member or the news that’s led to a, let’s say, hostile environment, right?

Friday Favorites: the Productive (but Kind of Stressful) Week

Y’all what a week!  I won’t lie; this week kind of kicked my butt (in a good way though, I think?)  I’ve been tired everyday since Daylight Savings and really struggling to sleep at night.  Fingers crossed that I’m able to get my internal clock adjusted back to normal this weekend.  This week has been super busy in terms of shooting content, locking down some upcoming partnerships, and getting my editorial calendar set for the rest of the year.

My parents have been out of town on a trip celebrating their 35th {!!!} wedding anniversary which means your girl has been doing some fully unsupervised adulting.  {Lowkey ready for them to be home so I can stop having to plan my own meals and pick up my own prescriptions.}
