what we wore (utah utes fan edition)

it is Wednesday again and I'm linking up to the pleated poppy!

first, a little background information.

we love the utes.

way back when we started dating, i quickly showed rory the light and now he loves them as fiercely as i do.

there are emotional ties behind my passionate fandom; i had my kidney transplant at that hospital back in 1994, and i graduated from the college with my bachelor of science degree in human development and family studies with a child life emphasis.

two BIG life happenings and both at the same college/hospital/campus. i think it is a given we are such massive fans. ;)

this is what we wore for game day last weekend, even though we didn't attend the actual game. i own utes shirts with logos, but sometimes i like to just add a splash of red to celebrate my fandom. i don't wear red often because it clashed with my skin tone and hair, but this red skirt is quickly becoming one of my favorites; i get that pop of color but away from my face so i feel less self conscious.









tahnie:
sunglasses - old navy
shirt - target
skirt - old navy
leggings - target
sandals - aerosoles
headband - la luce
(the mustard yellow color of this headband is PERFECT for fall!)

sookie:
skull barrette - etsy shop no longer in business
dress - red zone (in sandy, ut)
shoes - silver glitter toms

If you are a big college football fan, what do you like to wear on game day and who is your team?

xo.
