It’s time again for me to discuss how much I love hockey games but still don’t understand where the puck is half the time, I don’t understand why people lose their mind over being on a jumbo-tron and but also how to dress for a hockey game when you want to be cute but don’t want to wear a jersey that has some 14-letter last name that you are praying is still a current player because you borrowed it from a friend to try and impress a guy. Also, let me tell you something, you all NEED to hit up your arena to put in a Qdoba because life gets really REAL when it’s hockey season and you realize you can have your own tub of delicious queso, guac, chips and a margarita in your lap for $13 (remember, it’s the Midwest so the price is cheap) and then watch men punch each other.
I legitimately look forward to hockey for several reasons but they boil down to this, I need to see men on skates going after a puck which I STILL CAN’T SEE HALF THE TIME and also the fun of dressing up for hockey games.

I one day realized that much like the thin little line of blade that men twice my size skate on, such is dressing for a hockey game when you want to put in some effort but realize that most people are just going to go in jeans and a t-shirt. My solution to this? Literally wear jeans and a t-shirt, but just put on a sweater over that t-shirt, add some heels, some accessories that show your team loyalty but also pull the outfit together, do some quick squats, bend and snap and you are well on your way. So it’s like the basic formula, but with a few more added in twists. (Also, this is the perfect way to justify all those buried bauble purchases you made from BaubleBar one day.) That my friends is what we call a massive win-win. Also, the most important factor in all of this should be how comfortable you are going to carrying you plate of nachos and guac to your seat in this outfit. Priorities people.

Also, if someone suggests that you should split that guacamole get them out of your life. Guac is not meant for sharing. I’d like to make a couple of things clear. You can share your cold germs, share your appetizer, share your zest for life, share your most intimate secrets, share your mom’s secret cookie recipe but you do not share guacamole.

Cute look for a hockey game! I agree that gauc is not meant for sharing 🙂

Amen to not sharing the guac. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets frustrated/confused about why it is so damn hard to see/follow the puck!!

Love this outfit and your formula for putting it together – gotta keep it real for those hockey games. And to keep room for the nachos.

I don't mind sharing guac, but if anyone suggests we share ice cream we're no longer friends. I rarely even share it with my kid… I just eat it after he goes to bed. Anyway, I love this look–perfect mix of casual and still stylish. I'm guessing you were the best dressed at that hockey game!

I do that too! Learned it a friend that to get comfy in newly washed jeans, do some squats and overtly weird movements to get the groove back. 🙂
Kate Spade is my fave brand for purses.
Have a great week!

I'm not much of a hockey fan, it's not very big in Malaysia where I come from, but I'm certainly a huge aficionado of those booties!! Just look at that darling quilted diamond motif on the sides. And the blue of your sweater, and the bag. SO striking.

I must be the luckiest girl in the world because I never have to share my guac with my husband – he is not a fan. And when guac comes with his meal, he gives it to me.

I've never been to a hockey game, other than my sisters in high school, and like a horrible sibling, I only attended one. Sporting events of any kind are not for me – though with enough nachos, guacamole, and buffalo chicken, I can be lured to nearly any.

I love guacamole too much, I wouldn't share it. I am a huge fan of this outfit. A couple of weeks ago I did a similar outfit with black pants, gold pumps and a chunky ribbed red turtleneck sweater (mine is also from The Limited). Hohhot and don't you love the prices at those games. Pretty much every single nacho costs you about 50 cents.
P.S. I appreciate your last comment on my brain dump post, very very much. Thank you.
