Five Friday Favorites

Another week has gone, and we are basically in October! What is going on?! It's going to be December before we know it! But regardless, here's what is new in my life this week...

1. This quote is all I need to feel better about shopping. :) 

2. I went out for drinks to a new place in town after shopping with some girlfriends, and I ordered a cheese and fruit plate. The chef had just a little fun because it was a slow night...

3. School is stressful. But even amongst the stress I have moments where I realize I just freakin' love designing so much. I truly can't imagine doing anything else!

4. I found the perfect game day dress finally, and the funny story behind it is that my friend also bought the same dress, not even 20 minutes before I did! I didn't even see her in that store or shopping center! #twinning 

5. I'm still a little Colorado homesick, but the amazing fall-ish weather here in north Florida is helping. Also, celebrating my friend's birthday tonight will help, as well as crafting with my little for  her new little! I'm going to be a Grand-Big!!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Garnet & Gold

Some of my game-day looks from past games.

Fall means football season, and a lot of pressure to live up to a National Champion title here in Tallahassee. It also means (almost) weekly fashion shows, and pressure in "Girl World" to look as cute as possible. While not on the same level as New York Fashion week (going on now!), FSU Game Days are basically one long fashion show. When I first came to Tallahassee, I struggled with this. Why? Because out west, people don't dress up for games like they do here. You wear your teams t-shirt and jean bottoms, and boots or sneakers and you're set! It still boggles my mind how dressy girls here get, just to be sweaty in a hot stadium with a million other hot & sweaty people. So I stick to my roots and continue to wear my team t-shirts, trying to mix up my bottoms to keep up with the rest of "Girl World." One such piece I keep coming back to is my garnet circle skirt! It's been a staple for me, along with a few other things. This year though, I'd like to add in some more "dressier" pieces to my game day collection, like a gold cross body, pretty blouses, and a great dress.

Shop some of my favorite FSU Seminoles-inspired pieces:

Dress / Tunic / Garnet Skirt / Tan Skirt / Earrings / Bracelet / Cross Body Bag / Flats / Boots

What college do you root for? What would you wear to a game?
