For over the past 20 years I’ve been the main chef for Thanksgiving. Since I’m the one in the kitchen, typically cooking and serving up until the last minute I’m lucky if I change into a cute top and jeans when we are gathered at the table. Now I completely understand that each family has their own vibe for the day so if you are a but more dressy (and don’t have to worry about bending over a hot oven) I also styled some more “cute” that would also be great for Friendsgiving where I prefer to go out!

For reference Iβm 5β5, size 12/14, 38DD. I list the sizes Iβm wearing below each image and give my fit tips based on my previous experience with the brand and on the size guides provided.
