I am both honored and blessed to be guest posting for my friend Ginny today! Ginny is the super thrifty, always fabulous, beautiful friend who blogs at My New Favorite Outfit. When she asked me to guest post on her amazing blog, I jumped at the opportunity! The first thing that popped into my mind was a post which would offer you a few ideas for fall football outfits. I live in Ohio - the land of the Ohio State Buckeyes. If you are born in my state, you have scarlet and gray blood running through your veins. We live for football season here!
Before I get into the meat of my post, I would like to share a bit of information about myself, so you can get to know me a bit better. I am a new blogger. I started blogging in May as a way to encourage myself to dress in something other than running pants. I have a daughter, whom I adore. If you read my blog, you will quickly figure that out. She is my life. I try not to be the mom dressed in pajamas at drop-off (although I have been before). I am super outgoing, and because I work at home, I really wanted to make some connections with other women who share similar interests.
I read so many blogs that I am embarrassed to share them all with you. I can't choose favorites(: Lately I am loving the fall trends of leather, peplum, and graphic sweaters. I am also a scarf addict. I try to stay clear of any trend that will make it appear that I am trying to act my daughter's age - totally humiliating for a middle school girl (not to mention her mom!).
The best thing about blogging is all of the fabulous friends I have made. I have friends who text me when they are shopping and see something that they think I will love. Then they buy it and mail it to me! I do the same for my blog buddies. Crazy, but true. Be yourself, and you will meet others who love you for who you are. The blog world is a wonderful place to hang out.
Now, on to the meat of this post! It tends to be hot for the first game or two of the season, and then we quickly transition into fall here in the Buckeye state. These outfits will work for the games during which the field is not covered in a blanket of snow. It tends to be pretty frigid here during the latter part of football season, so you may need to add gloves and a hat, and substitute a puffy jacket for the vest. I love a statement necklace for game day! I tend to wear my Buckeye necklace on game days, but any statement necklace adds flavor to a football outfit! Although I am a football fan, I am still a girl, and I like to dress like one(: I love this style for game day! You can switch up the plaid blouse so the colors match your favorite team!
My must haves for game day include a statement necklace, a cross body bag, so my hands are free for cheering, warm socks, and comfy shoes. I love boot toppers or boot socks too! This is what I will be wearing on game day this Saturday!
In honor of my love for statement necklaces, I am giving away this fabulous J Crew inspired rosette necklace to one lucky girl! If you are blessed to have this color as one of your team colors, you can add it to your wardrobe for your next game day! One winner will be chosen at random and announced on Monday September 23, 2013. The contest is open to US residents only.
What are your game day fashion must haves? I would love to see what other people wear when they cheer on their favorite team! Thank you to Ginny for inviting me over to play! Good luck and Go Bucks!

Great job, Susan, and ladies take a minute to stop by Charming Lucy and say hi to the sweet Susan!
I love Susan's blog! She is really sweet and a fellow Buckeye, so I was glad to see her gameday outfit too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the game day outfit you created! The plaid and puffer vest look great with the boots! I just ordered plaid shirts and can't wait to wear my puffer vest with them.
ReplyDeleteI love wearing yoga pants to watch sports games... Yoga pants are just the best. ;-)
ReplyDeletecomfy clothes!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit with the plaid!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, this makes me wish I went to a college with an actual football team. :P
Glad I found Susan's blog since I am also from Ohio =)
ReplyDeletei need to get some pleated shirt as well :)
ReplyDeleteI Love the Plaid Shirt & the Rosette Necklace. Great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove finding new bloggers! Thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t That Charming.
I'm not much of a sports person, but when the occasion arises, my game day attire is some combination of blue and yellow (my alma mater's colors). Usually a pair of skinny jeans, a yellow cardigan, and a tee!
ReplyDeleteLOL, i must be more tired and hungry than i thought
ReplyDeletei first read Lucky Charms, not Charming Lucy

Love the necklace! Thanks for pointing me towards Charming Lucy!
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to dress up on game days-- in undergrad, I wore a knock-off of our team's jersey (in kids' sizing) and either white shorts or a denim skirt (that was big then). I love your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love her blog and go buckeyes!!! I'm also from the state of Ohio!! Love these ideas of statement necklace and comfy and warm shoes for sure! My feet get sooo cold at football games! I love football season! :)
ReplyDeleteMy game day must have is a team shirt. I like supporting my team by wearing one of their shirts but sometimes it's hard to find a nice girly one that I like.
