Football fashion

Happy thanksgiving to all. We've been traveling all around NC the past few days doing everything from horseback riding, shopping for dulcimers, and eating. Today, we made our way to Winston-Salem for the Wake Forest football game.  Now, it was cold.  Certainly colder than I anticipated for NC.  I was just interested in keeping warm so fashion was not high on my priority list. I know you are concerned that I might have been ill-attired so will let you know what I wore: jeans, button down with skulls on it, green light sweater, burgundy wrap sweater, a little lululemon jacket, light green infinity scarf and frye boots.

 Obviously I have something to say about the trends I witnessed.  These are man trends.

#1 - SHORTS! What the what? 43 degrees outside and you're going to wear shorts?   This was a phenomenon mainly noted in 20-30 year old obese men and floppy haired teemaged boys. I do not understand. Cover your legs. It is cold.


#2 - camouflage - specifically full body onesie camo gear. We are at a football game, not hunting, so I'm guessing this is for warmth, not so they blend into their seats and are thus unseen by the opponent.



I am female; therefore, I have no Liz Asti tested and approved solution for these men. I can just say that I don't like these choices. I say, put on long pants and save the camo for the duck blind and the onsie for the babies.

Traveling hair

Ok you guys. It's 7:50am. I'm sleepy. I showered but I didn't wash my hair. A little baby powder or dry shampoo and I'm good to go. Don't worry, I did take the time to apply a full face. I was excited to see what solutions my fellow travelers have for "it's early an I don't want I wash my hair" syndrome. There is an overwhelming trend at LGA this morning: the top knot. The jury's out for me and
the top knot. I find it too close to my workout hair. Plus my hair, while it is long and luxurious, doesn't feel quite long enough to make the top knot look awesome. The two pics below are best top knot candidate and my worst top knot candidate. I think I'm responding to the look as a whole. I don't mind the top knot when you have dressed well. And placed it no higher than the crown of your head. This whole "I'm in sweats and can't be bothered to do anything with my hair but tie it up high on my head" thing doesn't work me. What are your go to early morning hairdos?

Oh, and we totally just saw Phylicia Rashad at security.
