As I mentioned before, I went to a Portland State football
game this Saturday, which meant I had to wear proper football attire. I decided on jeans and a sweatshirt:
Okay, so it was a lace sweatshirt, but I still say it
counts. In addition to my skinny jeans
(Macys) and lace sweatshirt (Macys), I also wore riding boots (Born Crown via
Nordstrom) and a leopard coat (consigned).
And, once I got to the game, where it was quite cold, I also wore my new Tech Gloves (c/o FRAAS):
I have to say that I was both excited and skeptical when
FRAAS offered to send me these gloves.
Excited because I hate having to take of my gloves to use my phone and
skeptical because I don’t know how knit gloves could possibly allow me to still
use my phone. I was also skeptical
because these gloves are one-size-fits-all and I have giant hands (of course).
But, I did wear these on Saturday at the game, and they were
fabulous. They kept my hands warm, I was
able to use my phone easily while wearing them, and as you can see above, they
fit my man hands just fine. And the teal goes with leopard. A win all around. Well, not all around, PSU lost to Eastern
Washington, 34 to 41.
Although I received the teal pair, the gloves come in
several colors, from neutrals to jewel tones to brights:
The style I received has a wrist ruffle (or wruffle, as I
like to call it), shown above, but the tech gloves are also offered in a longer, scrunch
style and a bow style. They run about
$30.00 per pair, and are available both at fraas.com and amazon.com. If you have a smart phone and are looking for
a pair of tech gloves, I strongly recommend these.
Happy Monday, All!

Now that's not merely jeans and a sweatshirt, Gracey! They are super well-fitting skinnies and LACE, along with sexy leopard print and excellent boots. You look fabulous! xxx
ReplyDeleteI need those gloves! And your jacket. Yup, I'm going to need that jacket as well.

Love your jacket! Great print.
ReplyDeleteI like the gloves too. The DH bought a similar pair by a different brand in the same price range. I hate to say you can find similar gloves at target for half the price or less.
I wear a pair of vintage leather gloves that work fine with a touch screen.
I'll have to check those gloves out!!
ReplyDeleteI must say you looked FABULOUS at the game!! Leopard and lace is appropriate for ANY occaison!!
You look great. I adore that lace sweatshirt.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you found a lace sweatshirt. You are some kind of style magician, Gracey! I hate dressing for football games because I always feel like a lump of fleece, but you look really elegant. And is that a statement necklace? :)
ReplyDeleteYou even do sweats stylishly! (Love that coat, too!)
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of tech gloves, and I was really shocked by how well they work. I generally prefer leather gloves to knit, but yeah, I may need to rethink that in deepest winter, when I REALLY don't want to take off my gloves at all, even to briefly use my smartphone.
Terrific jacket. And wonderful sweatshirt. You find great stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to copy your look so badly! I have a leopard coat similar to that, but it is a bit longer. I love the length and cut of yours on you, it is super flattering. And WHAT?! A lace sweatshirt?! I didn't know that was a thing, but now that I know I need one. Immediately :)
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so me. I love it to bits!
ReplyDeleteYour leopard coat is really making me want to find one for the fall/winter.

of course the lace sweatshirt counts as a sweatshirt - it's so beautiful! And I love your leo coat!!! I haven't found the perfect one yet for me, but I have a patterned coat that I love too!
ReplyDeleteAnd the gloves are great, I also need a bit of color in the grey november days (well at least where I live they are grey...)!

I want that jacket! Love the teal gloves paired with the leopard.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love that lace sweatshirt on you, and it really works as a contract to the leopard coat. The teal gloves are the perfect last touch!
