Moving on from a Sad Loss

Being beat by Carolina is never good, but being beat by such a large margin has made moving on extra painful. We're looking forward to this weekend's match up against Notre Dame and are obviously brainstorming some cold weather outfits for our chic readers. Stay tuned throughout the week, chic ones!

Combining our love of chevron and gold. Too perfect for words.

LC

We've always been a fan of Lauren Conrad's, just by nature of the fact that we were never a fan of Kristin Cavallari's. We even decided to share with you a YouTube video someone dedicated to Kristin and Stephen's love to remind you of why you should like Lauren Conrad. And so that you can listen to Hilary Duff's "Come Clean." You know you want to. 

Sidenote: Who has the time to make video tributes to long lost MTV teen reality shows? Oh, right. Probably the same type of people who blog about fashionable school color finds.

All of this to say, LC has a line at Kohl's. And some of it is actually kind of cute. 

Check it out if you have some time.

Hey!

This (above) reminds us of some girls we know (below).

Target Chic

We are loving these shawl collar fleece sweatshirts. They come in an assortment of colors (we like the heather gray and black best). They also look like they could be from J.Crew, but the $18 price proves that they are indeed from Target. This is exactly what we were referring to last week when we said it's possible to be chic while studying. Paired with skinny jeans, boots and a cozy scarf, you are set for a long night in the libs.

Jackie O Chic

This dip in temperature has Chic Deac searching for a cute winter coat. Anthropologie, as usual, has several adorbale options but we particularly are loving the Ascot Swing jacket below. It's chic, timeless and reminds us of our favorite style icon, Jackie O. Pair these with skinny jeans, ballet flats and some chic big sunglasses for the full effect.

Chic Studying

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late, but we have been buried under mounds of work like everyone else on campus. Some chic study looks for you to contemplate:

Wraparound Cardigan from J.Crew

Funnel Neck Sweater from J.Crew

Don't forget to send in your pictures from last weekend's tailgate to be entered to win a YT Clothing dress.

Saturday's Tailgate Look

We're thinking about the Katie dress with a cardigan or a Lindsay dress without one (both from the amazing YT Clothing). Remember to wear black for the BLACKOUT and brighten it up with a gold scarf. The weather is looking sunny, but a little on the chilly side. So bring a layer or two!

Remember to send in your pictures from last weekend to be eligible for the YT Clothing tailgate contest to chicdeacstyle@gmail.com. The winner will be posted tomorrow afternoon. And take more pictures this weekend against Va Tech!

Pres Ball Jewelry

Make a statement with a necklace like the one below and then accentuate it with some more basic pieces like bangles or simple pearl studs. Whatever jewelry you pick, make sure you have fun with it!

Get detailed information on the pieces below here.

The Golden Clutch

Fab Accessories will surely make or break your look at President's Ball. Here is some style inspiration for what to use to carry your cell, keys, lip gloss and ID. By the way, our favorite clutch above (the leather envelope) is the cheapest. Isn't it great when it works out that way? Click here to get detailed information on each piece.

Stay tuned for more style updates later today ... particularly in regards to jewelry!

And remember to send in your stylish tailgate pictures to be entered into the YT Clothing contest. We'll be announcing this week's winner on Friday.

Cheap Chic for President's Ball

Trying to avoid paying lots of money for a new dress? How about you head over to Hanes Mall and pay a little visit to our friend Forever 21, who can always be counted on for cute dresses at a low cost. We like both of these, which are simple and elegant. Plus, they beg to be accessorized with some amazing gold jewelry. Best part? They're both under $30. 

Beaded and Belted.

Wake Forest Football

Ladies and gentlemen, Wake Forest football is back in action. What an awesome game on Saturday - fun tailgates, perfect weather and winning over a ranked Florida State. Could we have asked for a better day? Below, we link to two of our favorite Wake sports articles in recent memory - although now that we're thinking about it, they may be the only positive Wake Sports articles written in recent memory.

When you come into a situation where things haven't gone all that well, there's a tendency to find reasons to complain about everything. If you do that, it filters down to everyone in the program. And it doesn't do any good to complain anyway.

-Jim Grobe from The Washington Post


Florida State is not as good as many of us had expected, and Wake Forest is much, much better.

Remember to send in your tailgate pictures for the YT Clothing Contest. We've already gotten some submissions and we must say, our readers only get more stylish as the season goes on.

YT Clothing Contest!

The fall clothing contest to win an adorable dress from YT Clothing continues. We are still debating about buying the strapless Katie dress or Lindsay with long sleeves - or maybe both. This week's winner Erin Kerr is convincing us to get the long sleeve dress - who can resist it when it's paired with cute wedges and a foot pop? 

Congratulations to Erin who joins Jordan (below on Family Weekend) in our fall raffle for a free YT Clothing dress. Remember to send us your pictures from tomorrow's tailgate if you want a chance to win one of YT Clothing's gorgeous dresses. 

GO DEACS! BEAT FSU!

Black and Gold Madness this Weekend

A football player once told Chic Deac it's the most defeating thing in the world to walk over and sing the alma mater in front of an empty student section. It's high time we revive this tradition and we are so glad that President Hatch thinks so too. Stay til the end tomorrow as the Deacs take on FSU ... and then go to Reynolds Gym. 

Why?

Rumor has it you will see the biggest legends in Wake Forest basketball's history. Doors open at 5:30pm for Black and Gold Madness. Get there early because the public is invited.

Expect to see some of this action:

The Gabby Dress

Yet another awesome Pres Ball option from J.Crew. We also love all of the other colors it comes in too!

One Shoulder Sass

Looking for something different to wear to Pres Ball? How about a one shoulder dress? This silhouette will show off your collarbone and shoulders, but without the annoying yanking motion girls tend to make when wearing strapless dresses.

In case you are looking to sparkle, try this number.

Pres Ball Style Guide Vol. 1

Chic ones, we want to be your ultimate one stop shop for President's Ball style. Starting today, we will be posting chic outfit ideas for this event which brings out the best in Wake Forest fashion. The event is on October 14th and we hope to see everyone there rocking their elegant black and gold looks.

First, let's look at some classic strapless silhouettes:

Loving the corset seams and sparkly skirt on this MM Couture dress. For just under $100, you can wear this number again and again during your time at Wake Forest. 

We've showed this gorgeous dress on the blog before but it is on sale for nearly half the price. Check it out on Piperlime!

How sweet is this Suzy Chin lace overlay dress from Nordstrom's?

This black organza dress from ASOS could not be more perfect with that hint of gold shimmer underneath. It's on sale, but still a bit pricey at the $300 mark.
