It’s rivals week in college football, the week when long
standing battles are fought on the grid iron! For some it’s not that big of a
deal, but for most it’s a really big deal. Here in the state of Alabama one of
biggest rivalries in college football is The Iron Bowl. For us football fans bragging
rights are at stake, houses are divided, friends become enemies and the lines
are drawn in the sand. It’s that fateful
weekend that comes around once a year until the champion of the state of
Alabama is crowned! Y’all know by now my
loyalty lies with my alma mater, The University of Alabama!
I have mentioned before how the major aspect of expressing
your fandom is through fashion. You can take it subtle and just wear your
colors or you can take it all out and put your battle cry on your shirt. I am
pretty sure I don’t know how to take it subtle. For a little fun and games I
invited my blogger boo Pepper of Pretty Plus Pep, who is an Auburn Fan (boooooooo),
to show us how she shows her love for her beloved Auburn Tigers.
I fell in love with this sweatshirt from Victoria Secret’s
Pink collection instantly. Since it only came up to a large I wasn’t hopeful
that it would fit, but boy was I wrong! It goes to show try everything on, you
never know what will work! I threw this own with my boyfriend jeans and
favorite red pumps for an amplified comfortable look.
So is anyone's alma mater playing this weekend? How are
you expressing your team spirit?

When my blogger boo Ashley
from FabEllis approached me about participating in her Fab Werkwear series I
was especially excited to find out the topic was wearing leather to work! Y’all
know I love leather and if styled correctly it is definitely work appropriate.
Although I don’t work in
an extremely formal work environment I still pay close attention to what I deem
appropriate or not for my office setting. There are a few rules I follow to
making sure my leather pieces are work/office appropriate. Here they are below:
1. Although I love leather
pants, I typically don’t wear them to work. They are harder to style and keep
work appropriate. Sidenote: If I didn’t work in a slightly traditional office
I would wear my leather pants to work. You should too if you have more creative
licenses!
2. I stick to a few shapes
for leather skirts in the work place: pleated, pencil, and circle are all great
options.
3. Don’t wear any leather
too tight or too short. You will spend your day pulling your skirt down. Or at
least I always do.
4. Monochromatic looks
work better in the office setting. I like to tone it down when I wear a rich
material such as leather. If you work in a creative environment go for other
colors!
5. Try a leather dress!
They look amazing and work so well with layering. I mean check out Ashley’s
amazing look over at FabEllis.
6. Don’t discount how well
a leather jacket or blazer can work in the office! To some it seems like simple
outerwear but it can be a serious outfit booster especially if worn in a
different color!
7. Be confident in your outfit!!!
I hope these tips help y’all!
I appreciate Ashley at FabEllis for inviting me to participate in this post! I
love collaborating with other bloggers! Head
over to her blog to see her take on wearing leather to work and her Fab Werkwear
series. So what do you think? Do you wear leather to work? Do you think its
work appropriate?
Also, I am starting a new
series called “9 to 5 Just to Stay Alive” to discuss work wear. Let me know if
there is something you want me to cover!
