Friday's Fancies: Black & Gold

For today's Friday's Fancies link up over at Long Distance Loving, we are holding it down for our local Virginia Commonwealth University Rams. Even though neither of us went to school there, it's exciting to get behind the school spirit encompassing the area in which we live. Last Saturday night, we were both out in local bars supporting our VCU basketball players and coach Shaka Smart in a nail biting game against Indiana. In the end, our Rams came up one shot short, losing to Indiana 63-61. But nonetheless, VCU had a good run and we are still incredibly proud of their trip to the Final Four last year. In true HLNC fashion, we decided to put together a sporty, yet comfortable outfit to represent our team's colors...

    Great color combo, I don't usually wear yellow since I am so fair skinned and think it makes me look sick, but this yellow is darker and bold. I like it!

    Love black and gold! I don't wear a lot of yellow either because of my fair skin, but mixed with black, this works. I absolutely love that scarf and cross body bag!

    Aha, this made me think of "Black and Yellow," and now I have it stuck in my head.

    What a fun idea! My alma mater made it to the tournament this year... They usually don't so it was really exciting! They went out first round but we too were still so proud of them!

    What a great outfit! My school was/is decent at basketball but nothing enough to get school spirit going at my commuter college :(

    I wish I had the college sports experience.

    LOVE the outfit- I went to Wisconsin but i live in Richmond now, right by the VCU campus and the excitement was unreal here with them performing well (until recently :( ) in the tourney. Great collection!

    So cute - I am so jealous that you came up with something as fun as this! UMD wasn't even close to the action this year, so I'm jealous that you got to make an outfit this adorable!

    Hope your weekend was fabulous!
