Friday Faves: Football Edition

This week in honor of the impending football season coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I would do a special Friday Faves around the best time of the year! For guys, it's about the sport. But for us ladies, football season is about the party and the clothes!

I love me a good tailgate- whether it is at the actual game or in the comfort of my living room. There is just something about Game Day Saturday that makes me happy. But you need to look good doing it! So most of my Faves are clothes related. Imagine that! If you can tell from the photo above, I am in desperate need of some Royal Blue additions to my closet for my beloved Gators. It's a sad state of affairs.  So, here are a few things to remedy that!

1. Chevron Dress- I love this little dress and it would be perfect for a hot Saturday here in the south.

2. Orange! Blue! Also a good option for you Gator Girls out there!

This simple blue dress worn with a pop of orange from a fun statement necklace would be adorable.

I also loved this cute top that would be perfect for a more casual look paired with some jeans.

3. Total Nole Envy- I am totally jealous that this top doesn't come in another color option. It would be so cute with some skinny jeans and some boots, preferably of the cowboy variety. It is the South after all!

4. Some SEC love- Any home or office would look good with this adorable SEC Mascot painting. In the SEC, we are all huge rivals the day we play each other, but we support our fellow Conference members- especially when they are playing other non-SEC teams.

5. Go Dawgs! (of the Citadel, that is)- I know David would love to make it to a Citadel game this year, and this dress needs to be in my closet for when we go. (thank goodness for the North Carolina Tar Heels for having the same color scheme. ha!)

6. The Ten Commandments of Football- Taken from this 2011 Southern Living Article

1.  Thou shalt wear team colors. But think twice before adorning yourself with body paint—you don’t want to be the Internet photo that goes viral.
2.  Thou shalt know—and sing—your team’s fight song from beginning to end. Sure, you can “watermelon watermelon” your way through the alma mater, but not memorizing the fight song is a fan failure.
3. Thou shalt keep your language clean (unless, of course, the quarterback fumbles on fourth and goal).
4. Thou shalt support the coach. Even when his calls are questionable.
5. Thou shalt be respectful to visiting teams. Remember: Southern ladies and gentlemen never boo.
6. Thou shalt set up a tailgate no fewer than three hours before kickoff (six if it’s a night game). Table linens and matching huggers encouraged, but not required.
7. Thou shalt theme your tailgate food around the visiting rival. Gator bites, anyone?
8. Thou shalt stay through the fourth quarter—rain or shine. That’s what ponchos are for, y’all.
9. Thou shalt respect the solemnity of Game Day by planning weddings, births, and other life events around the football schedule.
10. Thou shalt not covet other teams’ bowl games, national championships, or Heisman Trophy wins. There’s always next year

 Alright, that's all I have for you today. If you want a really cute place to get the low-down on more Southern Football, check out The Game Day Belles. It's super cute!
