Cozy Outfits That Are Perfect for a Casual Thanksgiving

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Listen, I get it: even those amongst us who get the most joy from cute clothes are pretty over anything but sweats this year. What started as wearing real clothes just for ourselves to work from home has turned into fatigue and prioritizing comfort over all else—and hell, I think we deserve that.

You don’t need me to tell you that this year, Thanksgiving—which usually serves as the holiday with the highest-stakes outfit planning and the runway for proving your family that you are, in fact, the most fashionable cousin—looks a bit, well, different. Most of us aren’t going to put on our usual Thanksgiving look to sit in the house with our immediate family at most, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear your old, stained sweats; we say that the strategy for this year is wearing cute sweats.

WHAT ARE EVERYONE PLANS FOR THANKSGIVING? ( COMMENT BELOW! )

Here’s How To Rock A Little Black Dress In 2020 With OH POLLY

Published on by Lee6 Comments

While most of the outside world is slowly reopening after a lengthy six months of back-to-back business shutdowns, I feel the energy in the air returning along with a certain zest for life. As I yearn to reunite with loved ones, I marvel at how much I’d taken advantage of their quality time pre-pandemic. While others are still met with a slight hesitation when posed with the idea of moving freely around strangers once again, people such as myself are thrilled to rejoin society much more than anticipated.

With birthdays and celebrations being a never-ending season, what a better time for small occasional gatherings celebrating more life as we go into the final stretch of 2020. With holiday festivities soon to come as we quickly head into the winter months, I decided that widening my scope to shop outside of the sweatpants and leisure-wear I’ve been confined to since mid-March. As more events begin to fill up the rest of my 2020 calendar, I decided to round up my favorite go-to little black cocktail dresses this fall. Once retail stores began to reopen, I took advantage of items I saw myself wearing once “normal” life resumed.

Call me a shopaholic or optimistic, either way, here are three OH POLLY LBD styles I’m impatiently waiting to keep me chic all night long this holiday season:

The Cutout

Oh Polly CUT ME IN CUT OUT RUCHED MINI DRESS IN BLACK, $39.52

I love anything designed with a pop of skin. Super modern, a cut out mini black dress is a perfect choice for a date or chic night on the town with your girlfriends. Ultra chic and reminiscent of a vintage 90’s silhouette, this ultra-chic v-cut out dress is one of my favorites finds this year. Styled with minimal jewelry, I allowed the dress to speak for itself.

Blazer Dress

Oh Polly POWERHOUSE TWO-PIECE SUIT IN PINK, $98.81

This dress is tailored for the self-made girl boss. Dressed in all black with a plunging neckline, this look is the perfect structured look for a woman about her business during the day and cocktail hour at night. A classic silhouette that never goes out of style, don’t be afraid to steal your boyfriend’s oversized blazer jacket to easily achieve this super chic look.

Ruched in all the Right Places

Oh Polly SIMPLY BLISS RUCHED MESH BODYCON MINI DRESS IN BLACK, $50.06

Ruched details are having a major moment this year. This body-hugging design feature has been a personal favorite to enhance my figure, adding more curves and shape to the proper areas. This dress was definitely made for the GURLSSS, so I plan to find any excuse to wear this LBD for the coming holiday season.

I Watch Gilmore Girls Every Fall—Here Are 8 Trends From the Show I’d Wear Today

Published on by Lee5 Comments

If you also have the problem of immediately pivoting your life and re-watching Gilmore Girls the second fall rolls around, this one is for you. Although my main priorities while bingeing are enjoying Lorelai’s sarcastic commentary and watching how the girls’ love lives unfold, in this year’s rewatch, I took special notice of the fashion trends from the early 2000s that I’m seeing circling back around this season.

While a majority of people may not think of Rory Gilmore as a proposed style icon (she had enough on her résumé), she did share a closet with Lorelai, who hoarded an obscene amount of trendy clothing and could never say no to a trip to the mall. If you’re in the same boat as me and are finding yourself wanting to transport back to Y2K in Gilmore fashion, I rounded up eight of the trends that the mother-daughter duo and other Stars Hollow residents often sported along with shoppable modern versions that I’d incorporate into my wardrobe today.

From cropped cardigans to skater tees, there’s a fall item in this list you’ll want to get a hold of. Scroll below to take a trip down memory lane. Where they lead, we will follow.

Shoulder Bags

When Rory wasn’t carrying her book bag, she and Lorelai usually opted for mini shoulder bags to complete their looks. And let’s be real—they were probably filled with snacks.

Sweater-Vests

Yes, I know the sweater-vests were a part of the Chilton uniform, but they were also regularly spotted across the series. What an easy way to look collegiate and stylish, no?

Squared-Toe Boots

I’d 100% wear this entire look today. It took me a closer look while watching to realize that Lorelai loved a good square toe when it came to her fall boots.

Tie-Dye

Stars Hollow loved a good tie-dye print, as I spotted the trend on characters from Lorelai all the way to Jackson and Babette.

Skater Tees

I’m sorry, but you know I had to squeeze a little Jess Mariano in the mix. (#TeamJess for life ?) While his assortment of graphic tees may not have meshed well with working at Luke’s, I know I wanted to get my hands on his collection. Whether you just want to be comfortable or incorporate that edgy aesthetic into your life, skater tees are the trend for you.

Silky Tops

Lorelai was known to always wear a trusty button-down while working at the Inn, but it was the silky numbers that really grabbed my attention.

Leather Blazers

Lorelai Gilmore wore a brown outfit with a leather blazer, so I also wore a brown outfit with a leather blazer. (But seriously, this outfit was ahead of its time.)

Cropped Cardigans

The Gilmore trio (yes, even Emily) often sported shorter cardigans over everything—from formal dresses at Friday night dinners to casual ensembles on the way to Luke’s. Either way, they’re a closet essential to own today.
