(We’re doing 50 Days & 50 Ways to have a merry recycled holiday. More about this….)

A turkey dress needs to be:

• Camouflage if you’re doing the roasting
• Easy-in-the-waist if you’re doing the eating
• Flattering if you’re going to his parents’ house
• Awe-inspiring if you’re dining out

Let’s see what we can see at our favorite gently-used shops:

Camouflaging for the cook:

It’s hot in the kitchen, even if you aren’t in Florida, like Fashion Safari is. Bare shoulders go a long way in keeping a hostess cool, and the autumn-tone print can hide that gravy stain until guests depart.

Easy-in-the-waist

Start off with the belt, remove it for seconds. Plus, the print scarf hides a full tummy. This dress is the easiest style of all to wear to a feast and can be found at most shops!

Flattering

It’s as flattering as it is affordable, this red party dress from Upscale Fashions in GA.

Awe-inspiring

This jacket from Clothes Circuit in TX will wow them!

If you find the right outfit for Thanksgiving Day at a consignment, resale, or thrift shop, consider donating the amount of money you saved to your local food pantry, and truly

show your thanks for the health, wealth and love surrounding your feast.
