This might be the most harried photo/post ever. But when I read Melissa's post today over at I Pick Pretty I had to fit time in to link up to What to Wear: Tailgate Edition. (By the way- love that the ACC is represented in your link up!)
This is the first time in 5 or 6 years that we did not get season tickets to the UNC football games. We'll still be at a few games but it's a little sad not to be there 6 or 7 Saturdays this fall. It's also a nice to have some of the time back at home. Our reasoning was that Noah is now 2, so we either pay $50 for 7 Saturdays for him to have a seat or pay off our babysitter's college loans while she watches him for 7 Saturdays. We just decided to revisit the situation next year and take a year off. But since I am usually spending 6 or 7 Saturdays in Kenan Stadium at THE University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I do have a tailgate wardrobe.
In Kenan if you are alumni you dress up. If you are a fan you dress more casually. Or that's how I see it anyways. I'm an alumni; the Editor is ... well more than a fan but not an alum. Let's face it, Argyle is the color of UNC, we are a preppy bunch of people! If I could I pull off argyle head to toe... well let's just say I'd try it.
The temperature ranges from 100+ to colder (45-50?) and of course, it could be raining. Here's a few looks I pulled on tonight that I do wear to football games depending on if it's a day game in September or a night game in October/November.
I tried to smile in these photos, but I did not steam my dresses/skirt so I look messy! And I'd be wearing my Rainbows in the barefoot photos.
November 26, 2011. UNC vs Duke
Wearing the black sweater dress and boots from above with a Carolina Blue scarf from India
(my brother actually brought it back from India)
And Homecoming 2011. I usually dress down a little bit for Homecoming. Whenever jello-shots are involved it's better to have jeans on. Plus it was rainy and cold! So I'm wearing a Victoria's Secret UNC jersey from their campus collection. UNC quickly pulled their logo from VS pretty much right after I got it from the Editor years ago. My accessory- argyle logo cornhole boards hand painted for me by a friend a couple of years ago. I have never seen boards better looking than these (tho I might be biased).
Dress, tank top, skirt, white sweater dress- all from Banana RepublicBlack sweater dress- Target
Necklace- Anthropologie
Earrings- Bridier Baubles
Boots- I think they are Steve Madden but I can't remember and I'm too lazy too go upstairs and check.
My next game, and first game of the 2012 season, will be on October 6th against Virginia Tech. It's a 12:30pm game and it's a White Out (all UNC fans are to wear white). We'll see what the weather brings before I decide what white with Carolina Blue accent I decide on.
