What to Where Wear: Tailgate Edition

What's that you say? You weren't aware that "tailgate fashion" was a thing? I'm here to tell you that here in the SC, we take out tailgate outfits pretty seriously. No throwing on an orange t-shirt and jeans and calling it a day. No siree.

While I have grown to love the color combo in a "so ugly it's cute" sort of way, Clemson's colors (orange and purple) do not immediately give themselves to fashionable choices. It does get a little easier around fall, though, when pumpkin and plum get a little more trendy. Still, I usually tend towards the less-is-more philosophy when it comes to orange and purple. As long as there is something purple or orange in my outfit, I consider myself spirited.

As I have for the past few weeks, I've chosen dream outfits, as in, buying-those-boots-would-be-awesome-but-so-is-being-able-to-pay-my-rent outfits. I'm all for keeping it real, but I just have more fun picking dream outfits than shopping in my own closet. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Here are my thoughts for this week...

Madewell Sodashop Dress, $148

Topshop Skinny Bow Belt, $14

HUE Textured Diamond Control Top Tights, $13.50

Frye Melissa Boot, $328

Forever 21 Rhinestoned Ring Necklace, $6.80

And of course, no Clemson tailgate outfit would be complete without my beloved class ring...

So now that I'm looking at how versatile all these pieces are, I'm starting to justify their purchase in my mind...this is how it starts...maybe next paycheck...

Thanks for hosting, I Pick Pretty!

Happy Tuesday!
