Friday's Fancies: College Football Kickoff

We've got something a little different for Friday's Fancies today...instead of going with the Labor Day theme, we wanted to mark the beginning of college football season. Here in Virginia we have two major in-state school rivalries and for most folks you're either die hard University of Virginia or you're hard core Virginia Tech, but we tow the line when it comes to these two teams. We'll happily root for either one of them when they're not playing each other and well, let's just say that when they are playing each other (which is Thanksgiving weekend every year), then we delicately walk a fine line of not stepping on anyone's toes. You see, many of our friends and family don't believe that you can be a fan of both. These fans only see this rivalry as black and white. You're either Team UVA or Team VT and you'll go down swinging for your team. But we won't waver...we want to show our love to both of our Virginia schools and you'll find us any given Saturday proudly rooting them on and possibly wearing either of these cute outfits...

  8. Haha, I totally understand that rivalry, that's how it is for two Kansas teams, KU and K-State. I'm a hardcore K-State fan and alum, and you'd see pigs flying around before I'd ever cheer for KU!! Haha. Anyway, I'm loving your outfits and I'm getting excited to cheer on my team!

  16. Oh my, these are such cute outfits but the watches are what really caught my eye. Virginia is so funny like that, I tend to cheer for VT since UVA is a rival (sorta) of UMD.

    Have a fantastic weekend ladies!
