Women Have Layers

One of my favorite fall trends is a heavily layered silhouette. Whether the pieces are tailored, or oversized, it adds experiment to a tired look, while using old pieces. Today I opted for summer pieces and colors, because it was way too hot out. I'll demonstrate later on in the post season with pants, fall colors, etc. Today is an oversized layered look, in breezy materials that is easy to wear if you are in hot climates (yet still jump start the trend). White crocheted skirt by Necessary Clothing, light blue baby doll dress from a thrift store, and white studded gauze poncho by Zara, with SF Giants patch from MLB.com.

Layer it up!

Sportsanista Meets #ballparkchic

Hey All!

So pleased to have a guest post from a fellow fashion/sports blogger, Marija Krosnjar!!  She runs the amazing blog Sportsanista that I've been following recently, and I absolutely love it.  Naturally, I figure we should collab on some looks that she would wear to the ballpark, so I asked and she agreed.  Here is Marija's post, enjoy!

Thank you for welcoming me to the world of Ballpark Chic! From a background in working in sports, I have to say that my style can be a little unconventional at times, but it’s completely important to incorporate yourself into every look , no matter the occasion. In Chicago the weather can vary from sweltering heat to a tundra at the drop of the hat. As a baseball fan in Chicago, I need my dugout deep enough to accommodate trend prohibiting weather….I will sweat or freeze for fashion; in this case, I’m going to provide you with trendy options so that you won’t have to do neither.

With two and a half months left in regular season and post-season baseball play, aside from praying for the advancement of your team, the real question is….what do you wear? With summer shortly turning to Fall, baseball yet again transitions through another season. With help from Fans Edge (http://www.fansedge.com ), here are my top summer to fall looks for this baseball season! Happy shopping Sportsanista!

Orange Friday Part Dos

My mom bought me this dress not too long ago. She thought of me because of the orange and black of course :). I absolutely love it, but I can't help but think all it needs is a little metallic SF emblem on the sleeve or something. Who's with me??

Hope you are wearing your orange proudly, happy Orange Friday!

Nike & PINK

Today we held a super sweet Nike whiffle ball event, where we had Red Sox fans face Yankee fans. The prize? Tickets to the Sunday night game. What does this mean for me? I get to wear my brand new VS PINK Giants sweats and a Nike Dry-Fit tee. I'm not really sure how I lived life without Dry-Fit tees...anyways hooray for days that it's appropriate to wear PJ's!

Casual Fridays

I feel like I haven't worn just a t-shirt in a little bit. My recent patch craze has made me get a little more fancy with my clothing options. Today, I'm taking it back to comfy, but dressing it up a bit with my favorite summer jacket. White tweed lightweight jacket from Zara, charcoal burn out SF Giants graphic tee from 47 Brand, tie dye orange short from K-Mart (yes, K-Mart and they go so well with every Giants shirt. You never know what you'll find, right??)

Patches 2.0

Forgot to post this when I wore it the other day, oopsy. Here goes round 2 of my patch obsession! This to me is probably the easiest garment to wear at a game. It's light, your covered for day games, and the shape works for everyone. Add a super sweet 50 year anniversary patch to it, and boom! It's perfect :). Poncho is from Zara, and the patch from MLB.com.

New Patches = Joy

My new patches game in, so I looked at my closet and said in my best Oprah voice, "You get a patch, and YOU get a patch...". Jokes jokes jokes. Anyways I did go patch crazy, and I'm wearing my new Candlestick one today :) Tunic from Forever 21, "Tell It Goodbye" patch from MLB.com, (rally) shants from Love Culture.

I Love Giants Baseball and Leopard Print Shorts

Sorry for the mirror pictures, which is to blame for the backwards text haha. Today, because I love the Giants so much, I'm wearing a shirt that lets the world know :). I love my 5th & Ocean SF Giants graphic tee, and my high waist leopard shorts with bow detail by Necessary Clothing. Nothing pops like a printed short, am I right??
