What to Wear (And Bring!) to Friendsgiving

The Thanksgiving holiday is just days away, and chances are, on top of your family dinner and Black Friday shopping, you've also got a Friendsgivingplanned for Saturday night or Sunday. 
If you're still stressing out about what to wear to Friendsgiving, never fear! We got you, girl, no matter whether you're hosting or just showing up - maybe - to your squad's soiree this year. 

The Hostess

Outfit: Mascara, Eyeshadow, Necklace, Clutch, Booties, Dress | Bring:Perfect Roast Chicken
You're opening up your home / apartment / dorm room to your closest friends, fam, and coworkers, so not only will you be spending the day cooking, cleaning, and prepping for the party, but you'll need your outfit game to be on point. 
It's tempting to want to pull out all the stops when you're entertaining, but trust me - the last thing you want is to be worrying about uncomfortable high heels, smeared lipstick, or a skirt that's too short. Stick to somethingcomfortable, simple, and chic that makes you feel like a million bucks so you cross your outfit off of the things I have to worry about list. 
For a look that's comfy, cute, and stylish, try a sleek printed sheath dress in a dark neutral color (nothing's worse than a wine stain on a white dress, amiright?) and a pair of edgy black booties with a low heel. A statement necklace adds a bit of bling to the look, but avoid anything feathery, furry, glittery or overly dangly - for your food's sake. Opt for a smoky eye and the blackest black mascara for a dramatic, no-fuss look. You won't miss your lipstick, I promise! 
And, of course, you'll be hosting, so you'll need to provide the protein for this holiday shindig. Turkeys are a pain in the @ss to cook and are pretty $$$, and leave you with more leftovers than you can ever, ever, eat, so opt for a roast chicken instead. 

The Host's BAE/BFF/Roommate

Outfit: Volume Spray, Lipstick, Sweater, Bag, Necklace, Booties, Skirt |Bring: A Veggie Dish
If your BFF, SO, roommate, or sibling is hosting Friendsgiving, they're probably counting on you to either 1) show up early and help, 2) bring a substantial dish to pass, 3) not show up in leggings and a messy topknot, or 4) all of the above. 
For a look that's cute and polished but won't upstage your hardworking host, pair a flouncy marsala-colored midi skirt with a cute sweater and cognac booties. A gold statement necklace and a deep wine lip look super festive but casual enough when paired with textured waves. A deep burgundy bag adds a touch of polish and edge. 
Even if cooking's not your thing, you can still bring a lifesaving dish to pass, like this easy, lemony green bean dish that heats up easily in the microwave (so you're not commandeering your hostess' precious oven space!).
