Today is the Everybody, Everywear Back to School Challenge. Having not been in school for years (don't worry how many, it's not important)
I decided to show my school spirit by wearing the colors of my alma mater, Washington
State University:
According to our fight song, we're supposed to "win the day for crimson and gray"*:
So I paired a crimson
pleated sweater skirt (vintage, thrifted) with a lightweight gray sweatshirt
(Old Navy) and tasseled booties (Seychelles “Clue” via 2011 NAS). I then realized that in my attempt to go “sporty”
I looked like an old-timey cheerleader, so I quickly added a turquoise and silver
necklace. Because, let’s be honest, you
can’t do cheers in a squash blossom necklace (vintage via Lil’ Gypsy), you’ll
knock your teeth out.
In addition to the turquoise necklace, I also wore my new
turquoise earrings (vintage via Lil’ Gypsy):
Looking at my outfit, I think it’s unfortunate WSU’s colors
don’t include turquoise. Don’t you think
this uniform would look better with a pop of turquoise?

Like the numbering.
Or the helmet. Oooh, a turquoise helmet
would be sooo pretty.
Even though my team doesn’t have pretty helmets, I have
spirit, yes, I do. I have spirit, how ‘bout
you?! You do? Well, then, make sure you’re linked up over at
Everybody, Everywear!
And have a Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
Gracey
*Our fight song also says we're the "best in the West," but that hasn't been true for over a decade. Sad face.
