Hello beautiful Mermaids!
First, I would like to take the time to introduce myself, my name
is Chelsea and I am so excited to be one of NBG’s monthly guest bloggers! I’m a
twenty-something Cleveland, OH native who’s gone southern to attend graduate
school at Ole Miss with my very own fashion and lifestyle blog finally launching this upcoming week called Pretty Pink and Proper! I have a passion for decorating and all things fashion,
beauty and lifestyle as well as anything pertaining to traveling, coffee, and
Gilmore Girls!
So, with my new home being in the hot (and oh so, so, SO
humid) South, I wanted to share a little bit about Southern game-day’s and game
day attire (if you’re not familiar that is) and how I plan on styling one of my
new fave NBG pieces for game day tomorrow!
For those of you unfamiliar with Southern living and
traditions, college football game days in the South are no joke. I come from an
urban undergraduate institution in Northwest Ohio where our game day wardrobe
consisted of shorts, t-shirts and leggings and sweatshirts when our weather
turned brutal. The Ole Miss tailgating experience is truly of its own caliber,
and what you’d wear to church on Sunday morning would be what you’d likely
dress in for game day, but in school colors. Women are dressed in the cutest
sundresses, wedge sandals and cowboy boots, while men sport khaki pants or
shorts with polo’s or button down dress shirts and blazers (see below). To say you’ve
experience an Ole Miss tailgate in the Grove is to say you’ve witnessed one of
the greatest southern traditions.
Keeping all of that in mind, this week I’m so excited to
pair my NBG blue “Jana Tunic” with my cowboy boots and my favorite pair of
destroyed denim to hit the Grove and game! The humidity down here is REAL so I
especially love the light weight material this piece is constructed of, on top
of the gorgeous lace detailing on the sleeves that make or an even more
breathable garment for all of the intense sun and heat (it was only 105 for last
weekend's game with the heat and humidity index….no big!). I can't wait to also work this piece into my Fall and Winter wadrobe (if we ever cool off down here) by layering it over leggings and under comfy oversized knits and vests.
What do y’all think?! Anyone else out there from the South
and have fun tips and styling tricks for game day outfitting? Currently
coveting the new NBG “Fay Top” piece (I love love love all things that are
off-the-shoulder) for all the red game days we have coming up!
Until next time, mermaids!
