Create28: Football Fan Attire

Ahh, fall.  The crunch of fallen leaves, the smell of wood-burning stoves, and FOOTBALL!  Speaking of which, did anyone see the dramatic conclusion to the Michigan State v. Michigan game this weekend?

The spectacular Spartan win makes it even more fun to share my football fan attire with you today!

The key components of a great game day ensemble are pretty obvious: a comfy pair of jeans and cute spirit-wear!  And with every passing year it seems that there are more and more fun pieces to wear to games...like these fun flats covered in Spartan helmets!

Aside from the perfect spirit-wear, I have a couple of tricks to creating a put-together outfit to watch your favorite football team this fall.

My favorite way to create a cohesive ensemble for the big game is to add a completer piece.  For this game I threw on a cozy, neutral cardigan to keep me warm and to add some interest to the outfit.  Below you can see how a chambray shirt or a military-inspired vest can also pull together a look!

My other favorite tip for cute game-wear (at least for warmer games) is to pair a t-shirt or sweatshirt with a cute skirt.  Skirts create a feminine vibe to add to a sporty top!

Who are you rooting for this weekend and what are you going to wear to the game?  Make sure you are sharing your Create28 looks with us on Instagram (#Create28:FallLooks) and by linking-up below!

Fall Capsule Wardrobe: Go Green Edition

Now, there is something really important you should know about me.  I am a HUGE Michigan State University fan.  As a second-generation Spartan and a two time graduate from MSU, I practically bleed green.

When Caitlin from Greater than Rubies proposed the Fall Capsule Wardrobe Remix Challenge, I knew that I had to include a Michigan State sweatshirt.  I mean, fall is football season, right?

Typically I pair MSU gear with a pair of jeans and that's it!  I'm so happy that this challenge has encouraged me to think outside the box because I absolutely adore some of the spirited ensembles I have put together.

This is a perfect tailgating outfit!  The leggings are comfy.  The boots are warm.  The layers add extra protection from the midwestern fall chill!  I will hopefully get to make the trek home for one MSU football game this fall and I'm already planning to wear this outfit.

This ensemble is a little more jazzy with the high-heeled booties and vest.  I think this would be cute to wear to a sports bar to catch the latest game (which is the way I have to watch most of my Spartan football these days).

What better bottom to pair with an MSU sweatshirt but a GREEN skirt?  Who knew that a sweatshirt tucked into a skirt would look so cute?  This wouldn't work for all sweatshirts but this slimmer style tucks right in.  This look would also look cute with a team t-shirt.

This hot pink blazer and bright purple flats add pizazz to my spirit-wear.  On Fridays, I'm allowed to wear college gear and jeans to work.  These extra pieces are a perfect way to brighten-up an outfit and the end of my work week!

Who is your favorite team and how do you spice-up your fan gear?

Oh, and GO GREEN!
