The holidays always seem to sneak up, but your Thanksgiving outfit doesn’t need to. Plaid is everywhere this season and bringing it to your holiday lineup just makes sense. A plaid mini does the job beautifully cute, comfortable, and perfectly on-theme without feeling overdone. The relaxed silhouette gives you room to breathe (literally), while the print keeps things festive for family photos, dinner tables, and everything in between. Pair it with knee-high socks and patent flats for a nostalgic, polished finish that feels intentional but never fussy.

There’s a reason we love wearing high heels—and it’s not that they’re especially comfortable. It’s that they’re hands down the most flattering footwear. But take a scroll through Instagram, and you’ll find the funny fact that models and bloggers have a trick for occasions when heels aren’t an option, what we’ll now refer to as “Barbie feet.” While Barbie’s plastic feet are permanently molded into a pointed position, Instagram pros are whipping out the pose when they want to elongate their legs in photographs.
To master this pose, there’s only one requirement: Act like you’re wearing an invisible pair of high heels, even though there’s nothing but air under your arches. From the front, it can be hard to tell you’re doing anything at all, but from the side, you can see that you’re balanced solely on the balls of your feet. Read on and you’ll find a breakdown of exactly how to nail this photogenic trick. Now, you’re all set to try it out for your next photo op.
