I am giving the spring shoulder baring trend a head start in this maroon effect ensemble and balancing it out with the always reliable touch of faux fur. While balance is one thing on my mind in regards to this outfit, college memories are as well. Every football season at Virginia Tech, there is a designated game where Hokies wears maroon accompanied by a little more team spirit (if that’s even possible for Hokie fans) and this outfit would be exceptionally appropriate. I can imagine cheering and doing any form of a victory dance with these exagerrated drapey sleeves on this Nasty Gal top would be super fun. Don’t worry, I would switch up my shoe situation because I know I won’t make it through an Enter Sandman entrance at Lane Stadium in these black Steve Madden beauties.

Speaking of football, what is everyone doing for the Super Bowl? I know all of this Virginia Tech football talk makes me sound like a football buff (LOL) but that is an exception to the rule. My idea of the Super Bowl is pretty simple: too much buffalo chicken dip, a great outfit, and good company.  Up in Arms Maxi Top: Nasty Gal ; Faux Fur Maroon Scarf: Forever 21 (similar here); Maroon Slit Pencil Skirt: Forever 21; Black Pumps: Steve Madden; Sunnies: Celine ; Sac Du Jour: Saint Laurent
