What’s your Thanksgiving look? Do you keep it comfy or go chic? No matter what’s your style, I’ve got some cute and casual holiday looks from J. Crew and Madewell at 25% off. Madewell is offering 25% off their favorite styles with the code UNWRAP25. Better hurry, this sale ends tomorrow, November 22. Don’t worry, it’s not too late to get the perfect look for Thanksgiving!

WHERE TO SHOP
We all know the most important day of the Thanksgiving holiday is not Thanksgiving, it’s Black Friday. While you’re holed up in the house on Thursday, get your Black Friday game plan in order. My suggestion: avoid the mobs and masses and shop online. Don’t think you’re going to skirt the frenzy by shopping the web. Snagging the items you want will still be cutthroat, but at least you can battle from the comfort of your pjs.
