Outfit of the day 1/14/12 Game Day Edition!

All you southern girls have your adorable game day dresses and outfits, but up north we don’t really have those options cause it gets so cold!

There aren’t many cute options out there for girls when it comes to reppin’ your favorite team. Personally, I’ve always stuck to large kids t-shirts and jerseys.  However, there are plenty of ways to make team wear cute and preppy.  My quick fix?  Add boots and a cardigan!

As you can see, I’m gearing up for this weekend full of NFL playoffs and rooting for my beloved Pats.

Outfit details:

  • Cardigan: Ann Taylor
  • Patriots T: proshop.patriots.com You can’t see it, but I’m wearing my Deion Branch shirt. He always has been and always will be my favorite player!
  • Jeggings: ae.com Love these…they look JUST like jeans and fit so easily under boots!
  • Boots: Michael Kors.  I got these at Marshall’s the other day and I’m obsessed! To say that I’m going to wear them with pretty much everything isn’t that much of an exaggeration.
  • Jewelry: faux-pearl earrings, Pandora bracelet, signet and claddagh rings.

And I know there are a lot of you Tebow fans out there rooting for Denver to win, but I think his good luck is going to run out today.  GO PATS!

Te-NOwing :)

Whether you’re rooting for my Patriots, the Saints, Green Bay, or the Texans I hope you all have stylish football-filled weekends!

Snowtober, Snowvember, I’m Snow Excited!

If you live in the northeast, you may have noticed something a little strange the last time you walked out your door.  That’s right, folks, it’s not an optical illusion…there really is snow on the ground.  The calendar only just flipped to November, but the wintery weather seems to be coming quicker than you can say “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit”!

Someone at my school, BSU, took advantage of the snow and made a snowman!

If you’re anything like me, you’re excited for the snow.  It means coats, boots, sweaters, warm fireplaces, hot chocolate, cuddling, layering, and all sorts of other great things to get warm.  However, I know that there area also a lot of people not too happy with Mother Nature’s most recent meteorological workings.  And, as much as I hate to admit it, I kind of agree with them.  Snow in October is just a little bit ridiculous.  There were also wide-spread power outages throughout New England this weekend, thanks to winds that knocked down wires and trees.  The state of Massachusetts declared a state of emergency, and I’ve heard that some places won’t be getting their power back until this weekend!

This week, my two younger brothers had snow days on Monday and Tuesday.  It’s only November 1st…I wish I was going to their schools!  And I know what you must be thinking…a snow day on Halloween is every little kid’s dream, right?  Well, the city where I’m from, Lowell, MA, postponed trick-or-treating until November 6th.  How uncool is that?

Although, if this early snow means a longer ski season this year, I’m all for it.  As you may or may not know, I’m absolutely itching to hit the slopes!  I’ll also be dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year!  Although, if it means no football, I won’t be very happy.

What are your thoughts on all this crazy weather? Have you had school cancelled?

Fall Must Haves: Fall Before Winter

As you may all know, fall has been here for a while. Growing up in New England and having been around for 19 years has made me love Fall even more. New Englanders, in my opinion, have the best of each season!! It may be late to start thinking about Fall wear, but it’s never too late to know what you need. So in this post, I will chatting it up and discussing the Must Haves of Fall Fashions. Lets get started!

Dark washed jeans. Looks great with everything, I must say. I prefer skinny jeans since the top portion of fall clothing is layers. You do not want to look frumpy while wearing your Fall gear, do you? And dark washed jeans are far more flattering than those dreadful light washed jeans with the pre-ripped details. I am just saying!

Sweaters. Fair Isle, reindeer/animal, cable knit, cashmere, turtlenecks,and a select few of cardigans. The more annoying the pattern, the more you look great! I am talking about the whole Navajo styles! Tennis style ( V- neck) and Irish Fishermen is fab too! You can add a nice sweater with a crispy dark washed jean and your good, oh, and don’t forget the shoes (you know that has to be coming up!)The chunkier the knit is, the warmer you are. No, not those awful Christmas sweaters, we are still talking about fall here! Oh, and I do not see what the fuss is with those Awful Christmas Sweater parties, although they do seem intriguing. I do have a favorite holiday picture of myself and my sister, and we look great in our sweaters, but they are not horrible compared to everyone else’s. I just going to leave it as I am glad our parents did not torture us with ugly clothing. (Had to add a rant about Christmas sweaters…I know you lovers are out there!)

Boots. Tall leather boots-brown/chestnut is my personal fave. Think about equestrian/riding style. Uggs ( don’t hate just make sure you roll down your tall chestnut Uggs down you get away with it!) Flats on muted/nature colors, Sperry( I just had to add that for myself), and rainboots( mine have whales, but in the market/mood for some Hunters).

Jackets. Patagonia( in the market for the hunter green one), Northface ( have one, that is why I am in the market for the hunter green jacket, Herringbone blazer, Burberry trench/quilted anything ( dislike purple, but love the plum color). I like the Burberry short trench I think the long one would look silly on me since I am 5’2” and just be awk on). Lets not foget the puffer vests! And color would do. Make sure it is not colorful or crazy patterned-or not patterned at all. Oh, and faux fur! Make sure its is a solid color, not a crazy cheetah print. You’re not Serena Van der Woodsen.

Colors. Hunter green, maroon, cream,navy, orange ( pumpkin)and brown. There is no need to have bright colors in the Fall. You need to blend in with nature. Who does not want to look like a leaf?

Patterns. Fair Isle, plaid/flannel( mostly for guys), argyle, solid, and animals.

Accessories. Burberry scarf, knitted scarfs in colors above, and bows/headbands in the colors above.

Nail color. Brown, gold, deep green, deep red, teal, cream maybe and pumpkin. Mute is the word. I should not be talking since as of right now, I am wearing Essie Turquoise and Chaos which is a summer minty/sea foam green color.

I recommend you think about pumpkin latte’s at Starbucks, learn how to knit, drink apple cider, read by the fire, toast pumpkin seeds after you get your freshly painted nails a bath in pumpkin guts, and prance around in your Fall gear.

Stay preppy and do not fall out of Fall before Winter,

Chadsey

(And yes, I like to capitalize seasons!)
