Football Fashion


It’s that time of the year – it’s college football season!! Something that I’ve kept under wraps here on the blog is just how big of a sports fan I am, but not just any sports, college football! It just so happens that in a few short weeks, we’re headed back to Florida to see my beloved Gators play in the Swamp!!! 




While Orange & Blue is not necessarily the color combo that most people choose right of that bat – it grows on you after 4 years and soon you can’t imagine a better combo!

Here we are 5 years after I graduated from college and I’m still rocking Orange and Blue!! 




While I could certainly go the easy route and just sport a Gator T-Shirt, this being my first game back at the Swamp, I’d like to up my fashion game!  The key is staying comfy, but cute and if it rains, well all bets are off and I’ll opt for the closest poncho I can find! 






This Target dressmay be sold out in stores, but eBay has them for half off and in the right color! And if that one doesn’t work out this Charlotte Russeone is a close second, and on sale! Kendra Scott not only has stellar statement earrings, but she has entire Game Day Section and I am loving these! I’m still a little mad at myself for not keeping the House of Harlow bangle from my RocksBox, but nothing says Southern like a monogrammed necklace – and I happen to have one, but I really love this tortoise BaubleBar one. A little purse, some sandals to keep it casual and I’m good to go! 




 


How do you like to stay comfortable while also looking cute at football games? Are you a fan of college football?

    Love that outfit! And I say go for that necklace, it's so pretty! I've been to Gainesville before (I liked a guy to went to UF) I loved all of the Gator paraphinalia and how into it they were, such a fun vibe!

    Love all of the outfits that you posted!! I am a huge Miami Dolphins fan, so it is definitely hard to keep the fashion sense alive with teal and orange!

    I love college football but of course I have to rep my Scarlett and Gray for Ohio State colors. I like that you went outside the normal player jersey look. Very cute!

    You really do look great in orange and Blue. I've noticed you gravitate towards those colors often. Those Kendra Scott earrings are amazing!! I love that royal blue color. XO

    What a cute outfit! I admire all you gals that are into both professional and college football – I just can't get into it! I'm a hockey gal. 🙂

    What a fun and functional game day outfit. Love that maxi, super cute, lady.

    I LOVE football!!! My college didn't have a team though, so I kind of just pick a team when it's on. I love me some football food, too! Happy Weds!

    While I despise the Gators (Go Vols!) I love you so it all works out to being friends right? lol. I used ot be way more caught up in the college rivalries, but since moving all over the country since gradutation (and going to UK now) I've lightened up a little. But you're right, I still rock that God awful orange everywhere I go haha

    Cute outfit! I love that you dress up for games in the south. It seems like it would make football a lot more fun. That outfit would not fly here though!

    I didn't know you were a Gators fan… Roll Tide 😉
    I actually bought a gameday dress yesterday that you would love. I bought the Ivory and Crimson colored one, but they also make the dress in orange and blue. This isn't the boutique I bought the dress from, but a quick google search came up with several places selling it.

    I must admit I'm not a huge college football fan, I'll watch it but I don't enjoy it as much as NFL. Girl you look amazing in orange and blue… not me, no siree.

    I love your ability to rock the colors without looking ridiculous. My husband coaches for a team that is primarily orange with some black…and I absolutely HATE halloween (I know, the irony isn't lost on me). And is orange really ANYONE'S color? haha! I might have to take a few pages out of your book!

    I wasn't a college football fan until I met Scott and now I always find myself looking at gator shirts for the upcoming season. I didn't go to a school with a big football team like Florida so I didn't develop the love back then. But now im an honorary Gator and I love it. So lucky to get to go to the swamp! Love your game day style!

    Cute style picks! Love those TB sandals! I agree there's a fine line where orange and blue can become gaudy but you matched it up well with your 3 outfits!

    Love that you're a fellow Gator fan!! 🙂 I am trying to make it to a game this year, it will be different sporting around a bump though. haha. Most people in Gainesville wear the Gator t-shirts but I like to dress up too, that outfit is super cute!! Have a drink for me in Gainesville! I really miss the Swamp Restaurant!

    Great game day style. Since I work every Sunday, I never get to go games or see them. Not really a football fan, ok I will go hide in the corner now.

    Giiiiiiiiiiirl, I am alabama all the way. Which means I have to hate all things ORANGE. But I can love your ensemble just the same on you! 🙂 Does that make you a Tebow fan?… Cause even I am a fan of his!! 🙂

    you would wear this to a football game?! this is so different than how people dress up north (i think!??). i do love this selection though!

    Love your little collage! A cross body is my must have for football games. But get this- last year they implemented this rule at Panthers stadium that your bag can only be 4×6 inches (the size of a photo.. SO tiny) or you have to bring your stuff in a clear plastic bag. What IS that?!?!

    Love the outfit! And anyone who says that orange and blue isn't a perfect color combination is crazy! I may not be a Gator like you, but my university colors were also orange and blue and I love them so much that they were actually my wedding colors as well (talk about taking school colors to a new level… thankfully I met my husband in college so he was cool with the color choice as well!)!
