Keep Pounding.











     What an exciting time to be a Charlottean! The Panthers, the NFL team for the Carolinas, is currently 8-0 for this year's season after their most recent win yesterday! I have never previously been a big football fan. I'm an only child, and neither my mom or my dad are into football. In New England where I'm from, you're either a diehard Patriots fan or you're not, there isn't really any between (and my family definitely falls on the "not" side- haha!). 

     But this year, it was one of my goals to try and start showing a little more team spirit towards Charlotte's hometown team, the Carolina Panthers. I think it's pretty cool that I go to school in a city that has its own NFL team, and I wish I had gotten more excited about this sooner! Yesterday, I watched my very first Panthers game. I didn't actually go to the game- as with the excellent record that the Panthers have been having, ticket prices are soaring. But I did enjoy the game from Uptown Charlotte's Buffalo Wild Wings, a fantastic choice of a sports bar and grill, and then finished the game later in my room. I was proud of myself for making it through until the end! ;-)


     Of course, watching my first Panthers game meant that I had to dress the part! The Panthers' colors are blue and black, so I did what I could to show my team spirit. Yesterday was quite chilly in Charlotte, so I wore one of my favorite comfy Talbots cardigans over my shirt and scarf combo.

     One thing that I think makes dressing for game days extra fun is jewelry in your team's colors! The earrings that I'm wearing here are from Target, but you can find perfect game day jewelry at so many stores. Charming Charlie is always a favorite destination of mine for affordable and cute jewelry. If you're very loyal to a team and see yourself attending many games or tailgates, I would invest in some nicer jewelry in your team's colors from Kendra Scott- her stuff is timeless! 


     On a note unrelated to all things football- I am really excited about tomorrow's post here on the blog! When brainstorming lifestyle content for this month on Southern Belle in Training, it hit me that I haven't written many posts about college life so far this semester. The post that I have scheduled for tomorrow is definitely a unique and personal one, but it's something that I can't wait to share!!

  1. I love football! It's probably the only sport that I actually half-way know what's going on (thanks to cheerleading lol). I'm so glad you started getting into it!

    p.s. Dying over your bag *insert 50 heart eye emojis*

  2. What a cute outfit!
    I like certain football teams and love to support them, but I don't know much about the actual sport...I definitely wish I did though.
    Looks like you had a lot of fun cheering on the Panthers though :)

  6. I really like your outfit. I also am not a diehard football fan (or any sports really) but I always seem to find myself at a game. Your outfit is perfect for the nonsports/ new fan that's only there for the fun.

    P.S. I went to Target today to pick up that top and couldn't find it anywhere! :(

  11. I can't stand football even though Seattle is really into it. I can't help it...I wish I liked it but it bores me to death. I can get behind dressing cute and spirited though! As always you look like a beautiful ray of sunshine!
