Game Day Outfit: L.Mae Boutique Dress

A shift dress. A belt. A pair of booties. All the makings of a perfect fall outfit. The only thing that can make even more fantastic, is when it's in your favorite teams colors! The silhouette and the colors also make it a fab year round option. Tights and a sweater in the winter. Flats and a denim jacket in the spring.

Game Day Outfit: Garnet Suede Shift Dress



I love this time in the season when Danielle from Lou What Wear and I do our football "Game Day Showdown" collaboration! Normally we do a FSU vs Miami showdown, but we switched it up a bit this time. Since Louisville is now in the ACC conference and being that she lives there, she often attends the Cards games (Apparently, they have beer which would make me a Cards fan too. I hope my Kentucky Wildcat husband never reads that sentance.)

I love the brands we get to work with during this collab and this year we teamed up with The Mint Julep Boutique! They're got a ton of cute game day options, and even more just cute clothes! And even though we're going to be rivals this weekend, her outfit is SO cute. Make sure you hop on over there and take a peek!

Sometimes, I get to be comfy casual when watching the Florida State games. And other times, it's Saturday! Which means we have an event or a party to go to after the 4th quarter (or sometimes during the game. Eeeek!) So this was one of those "glam game day" outfits where I got to wear it for the game, but guess what? It doubles as just a regular outfit too! After all, aren't those versatile outfits the best anyways?

I'm REALLY into the suede look right now. It's so lush. This shift dress is so incredibly comfortable. I love the details on it like the suede-like material, laser cut out hem, and pockets! Plus, the fact that it's garnet/burgundy/oxblood/wine/whatever you want to call this color, it's probably going to get lots of use as we head into the Holiday season. Can't believe it's almost that time of year already!  

Don't forget to check out Danielle's Louisville Cardinals game day outfit (gimme that vest and those booties!) She's the best! Happy TGIF you guys!

Oh and Go Noles!

Game Day Outfit: Comfy & Casual Chic

Football season is back and so is one of my favorite series, #BADxGameDay! If you're new to my blog, you'll soon discover that I'm a HUGE football fan and an even bigger Florida State fan. So every few weeks, I feature an outfit of what I wear for FSU Game Day. The best part is that these are usually just regular clothes I find in my school colors, so even if you're not a Seminole, you'll still love the look.

Last month, I had an awesome time shopping at Carolina Premium Outlets. I found a ton of fall items, and now that the weather is starting to slightly cool off, I can finally share them! 

This dress from Gap Factory is fabulous. So comfy and chic. Once the temperatures cool down slightly, it will look super cute with a layered vest and some booties! I topped this Game Day look off with my fabulous garnet and gold monogrammed Grateful Bags cross body and some gold metallic slip on sneakers. Lately, I have been so obsessed with sneakers. They're so comfy and add that effortlessly cool element to your outfit. 

Don't forget to follow me on instagram to see what other outfits I'll be sporting on Game Day. You can get a sneak peek every Saturday! Go Noles!

Game Day Outfit: Garnet and Gold Glam

There's nothing I love more than a good Florida State gameday outfit. But what's even better than that? A gameday blogger collaboration with my girl Danielle over at Lou What Wear!



You'll remember last year we each styled a baseball cap for the Florida State vs. Miami game. That challenge was a step out of my comfort zone, but so much fun to do. This year we teamed up with Moon and Lola for a more dainty approach and each styled their Acrylic State Pendant Necklace. It even has a heart or star cutout for you favorite city! How cute is that?

I'm in serious love with our necklaces! They're beyond perfect for a Gameday Outfit. With over 30 colors to choose from, you can rep your state and school pride in just the right shade. Then, choose your city's heart cut out (Tallahassee for me, Miami for Danielle). It's the perfect finishing touch whether you're watching a football game, attending a basketball tournament, or just want to shout it out the world that you love your school and state. Shop Moon and Lola's entire state collection here.

I love the way that Danielle styled hers. Don't forget to hop over to her blog to check out the full look. 

I'm really nervous about this game. We have definitely struggled all year and Miami always seems to be an intensely played game year after year. Let's hope my Seminoles can pull out the W (sorry D!)

Outfit Post: Color Block Shift Dress

LuLu's Color Block Citrus Grove Dress in Taupe c/o
Eitenne Aigner Riding Boot (old - but LOVE this version from Victoria's Secret and this pair from Nine West)
Sole Society Smythe Sunglasses in Tortoise and Natassia Satchel c/o || Forever 21 Owl Necklace (similar) || oNecklace Cursive Monogram Necklace c/o || Revlon Just Bitten lip stain in "Lovesick" || Sally Hansen  "Cinna-Snap" nail polish

Finally got some new pictures! Yay for sunshine and no rain! :) I wore this outfit last week to work (and shared on instagram) for a client meeting. I am in absolute love with this shift dress from LuLu's. I like that it has long sleeves and isn't too short making it totally work appropriate. The neutral colors will be fun to pair with colored tights and the actual color blocking hits your body at flattering angles. Sometimes I feel like shift dresses can swallow me since I'm so petite - but not this one! I can't wait to style it with a fur vest! 

Kicking that old myth of not mixing black and brown to the curb I paired it with some cozy tights and comfy brown boots. This Sole Society bag is officially attached to my hand at all times. I can't get enough of it. It holds a lot because there is a ton of room on the inside, yet it stays surprisingly lightweight. Oh and did I mention it's vegan-friendly leather? Oh yes - get on it!

I'm counting down the days until Christmas Eve. Not because of presents silly! I'm excited to have a nice break from work and enjoy celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus! Until then, I've got A LOT of Christmas shopping to do!! Happy Wednesday!
