That’s right BBN, it’s time to tailgate. Whether you’re a football gal or not, you can still take part in the UK tailgating tradition. Tailgating is more than all the buzz and hype …here in the South, here in Wildcat country, it is a tradition.

As New York Fashion Week kicks off, I’m thinking about a hip tailgate look for the season opener. While I’m sure there will still be packs of girls in their cowboy boots, blue skirts, and tight tanks, for me, I’m thinking a little different this football season.

You don’t need “Go Big Blue” screen printed across your chest or an all-blue ensemble to show your Wildcat pride. Start by thinking outside of the box. And let’s be realistic here: you won’t survive a tailgate in heels. Think about how you can stand out with the biggest and BEST fan base in all the land, but think about comfort, too.

Here’s my twist on a retro-chic, Wildcat tailgate look. And don’t forget to take a peek at my lucky Chucks. Of course, I am wearing them again. (The are pretty magical shoes in my opinion.)
