Oh, Wow

Someone sent in this snapshot they saw on Facebook from Homecoming. The seal, the WF logo, croakies, and a yellow Ralph Lauren shirt. Who are you, Mr. Wake Forest jacket? And, more importantly, are you single?

We love some school spirit in a man. Also, political affinities aside, we really like that Richard Burr campaigns with black and gold stickers at tailgates. 

First Rule of Blogging

They say the first rule of blogging is shameless self-promotion. We aren't really on that bandwagon - especially since Cup of Jo exists and thus we must promote what she writes about, because she always writes about fabulous things. 


Today, she is doing a giveaway and it's a dress that fits perfectly on our site. So visit Cup of Jo and enter to win the dress because we don't have a $300 dress to give away this week and she does. 

Also, she loves Jackie O almost as much as Chic Deac. Beneath the giveaway, check out the post on portraits of famous mothers with their children. It's lovely. 

And lastly, please check out this blog - "What White Chicks Cherish" has got some pretty funny stuff (like overdressing for college football games) so thank you to the reader who sent it in!


Happy Homecoming, chic ones!

Homecoming Dresses

A few readers asked us for some ideas for homecoming dresses this weekend, and obviously, we're not talking about the kind you wore in high school. Homecoming dresses at Wake come in two forms: the casual wear with boots at the tailgate kind and the wear to the fraternity formal kind. Since our requests weren't very specific, we'll offer a few options. 


We really like this Puella dress from Bluefly.com because it's got lots of color and a fun print, but you still get the overall black and gold scheme. The long sleeves will keep you warm in the fall weather, but the ruffled v-neck cut will still let you show some skin. 

This Tommy Hilfiger cowl neck dress from Macy's is beautiful. It's a sweater dress, but it's cut well enough so that it doesn't look chunky on the body. Pair it with a belt and boots just like the Macy's stylist did in this picture and you're set for a fun day of tailgating.

Now for the dances that take place after the game, you might want to think about something with sheen like this walnut cocktail dress from Forever21. The low price makes it affordable for a last minute purchase and you won't cry if someone spills a beer on  your dress. This is the kind of dress that needs to be dressed up with the right accessories, so don't forget to add some!

Lastly, we love this "Tea for Two" cocktail dress from Nordstom's. It looks like someone pulled it right out of Blair Waldorf's closet and we're quite happy if we can pull off a night looking like her. 

But, obviously, no Blair Waldorf look is complete without a headband. We couldn't forget that, so check out this one on Etsy. 

Happy Homecoming, chic ones!
