Smells like Team Spirit

In case you didn’t already know, I am a proud graduate of Indiana University, the greatest school in the universe, located in Bloomington, the greatest college town in the universe. There are enough IU alums and fans in Indianapolis to make me feel at home, but there’s still something special about going back to visit my alma mater. I’m sure those of you who went to a great, though inferior, college feel the same way.

I went to Bloomington on Saturday to visit friends and watch [one of] the greatest college basketball team[s] kick some Gopher butt! If you’re a Minnesota fan, I hope this doesn’t affect our friendship.

We didn’t actually go to the game, just watched with other energetic fans at a bar. I decided to walk the line between my usual weekend style and showing some team spirit. Here’s how it turned out!

I hope you all had a great weekend, and if you haven’t seen it already, be sure to check out the giveaway that I just posted yesterday!

Sweata and Leatha Weatha

Remember that time I wore leather pants to go to Noodles & Co. on a Monday? I do. And I stand by my decision. I’m pretty excited about these (faux) leather leggings because I think they’re actually going to be pretty versatile. Not office appropriate, obviously, but noodle-eating appropriate? I’m voting yes. Then again, pretty much anything is appropriate for eating noodles because noodles are just awesome no matter what you’re wearing.

Leather pants have a way of making you want to go over-the-top biker babe, so I talked myself down and settled on a baggy sweater and demure shoes because, after all, I only ride my Harley on the weekends.
