A Thanksgiving Cocktail and Side

Happy Friday, gang! It’s T-minus six days until Thanksgiving and thirty-three days until Christmas. Yikes! This girl has to get in gear! I have purchased zero Christmas gifts thus far…not to worry. I always have Amazon as a backup for speedy delivery. If you have not visited my Amazon Storefront, what are you waiting for? Kelly and I update the storefront regularly, so stop by. And if you missed the Luxe for Less Amazon Dupes post, you can read it here. Since it’s our last Fridays with Oscar before Thanksgiving, today we have A Thanksgiving Cocktail and Side.

A Thanksgiving Cocktail and Side 

Beth’s Thanksgiving Outfit

Thanksgiving is late this year, so there’s still time to mix up your menu if you’re so inclined. Kelly whipped up a Roast Squash and Chard dish perfect for feast day. I loved every bite! Since the temps are cooler it’s time for corduroys, which are a nice change of pace from jeans or chinos. Pink is my signature color, so these pink corduroys (available in six colors) from Vineyard Vines are the perfect choice. 

If you love a preppy look as much as I do, then a fisherman’s sweater (old, similar here and here) will do the trick. It’s classic, timeless, and puts a prep into my step every time. Suede block heels from J.Crew that are years (old, similar here and here) complete my casual yet chic outfit.

Kelly’s Thanksgiving Outfit

I love the rich, yet muted color combination of merlot and grey. Corduroy is a fall and winter favorite, and today I am wearing Straight Leg Corduroy Pants in Noir Red from Gap. I am wearing a petite size 25. 

I featured this Cable Knit Rollneck Sweater yesterday in my post, Sweater Weather. It’s so comfy and soft! This sweater is already on style repeat and I find myself reaching for it as the weather here has chilled quite a bit. My Rothy’s Original Slip-On Sneakers are the perfect shoe to cap off a casual, comfortable fall outfit for the weekend!

Thanksgiving Aperol Spritz

We love an Aperol Spritz in the summer, and with a few festive additions, we can enjoy this cocktail in the fall and winter too. Apple Cider gives a warm, autumnal flavor and an apple and spice-laden ice cube gives the warm and beautiful aromas of cinnamon and star anise.

Thanksgiving Side: Roast Squash & Wilted Chard with Rosemary Goat Cheese

This Roast Squash & Wilted Chard with Rosemary Goat Cheese is a great appetizer, but I think it’s also a perfect side. Roasted squash and the beautiful glossy greens make a gorgeous presentation. The sharp tang of the goat cheese strikes a perfect balance with the heavier sides of a Thanksgiving meal.

Oscar, Ollie, Kelly, and I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
