Stay Warm and Beat BC

The season, believe it or not, is actually redeemable. If the Deacs get a win on Saturday, they can still work hard towards a bowl game. Is it far off? Absolutely. Should we be there, even in the cold, to help see them through a tough season? Absolutely. 


It's looking like tomorrow's high is 50 degrees. That isn't very high. So how do you dress for a chilly afternoon game and tailgate? It's easy. Put on some cute jeans, your favorite pair of boots, a black sweater and one of these gorgeous outerwear pieces. Don't forget the sunglasses. They add a touch of fabulous!

First up is a $120 coat from Steve Madden's line for Macy's. This is a very sweet look and we love the toggle buttons. 

Second in our list of stylish assortment of coats is this ruffled piece from Old Navy. All outerwear is 50% off at Old Navy this week only (or so the manikins told me in the 15050984 commercials they play a day). 

Anthro, as always, can be counted on to have some gorgeous old gold pieces. We love the details around the waist on this "Alice in Autumn" sweatercoat. You might need an extra layer to keep you warm enough, though!

Lastly, this Harvested Honey coat from Anthro has a vintage look that is quite timeless. It's certainly up there in cost at $498, but one can dream, right?

Happy shopping, chic ones! We need to cheer on those football boys. Nothing will brighten up their season like a full student section filled with black and gold!

You are My Fave ... Because You Make our Job Easy!

Have you ever read You are My Fave? It's a really darling blog out of Denver, Colorado. It's fresh and fun. And this week, she is displaying her love for mustard yellow -- which is so close to old gold that we also would like to declare the color mustard yellow as one of our faves. 

Head on over to check out her post on the color. It's a rainy day here on campus, so stay inside, curl up in your cozy clothes and read some of what she's got to offer! Happy rain day, chic ones!

Monkee Mondays

Whew, Homecoming Weekend wore us out over here at Chic Deac, but don't worry we aren't slowing down because things are getting juicy over at Monkee's in Reynolda Village. Check out this lovely Juicy Couture black leather bomber jacket. It's 20% off for Chic Deac readers this week, so stop in and take a peek! 

Plus, visit Monkee's on Facebook. And us, if you aren't already friends with Chic Deac!

The First Day of Class and it's Raining ...

I warned you back in July about rainy days at Wake Forest. I hope you took my advice and picked up some rainboots this summer. If you didn't, Target on University and over at Hanes Mall have plenty. Check out our post on rainy days here.

If you're looking for a cute rain coat, look no further. This fantastic trench is a London Fog design from Macy's. The buckles and buttons are my favorite part of this trench. The belted waist will make you look itty-bitty - it's a universally flattering form. Check it out here for $100.


If you aren't up for the leopard heels like the model wearing the coat, some cute bright rainboots might do the trick. Both pairs, from Endless, could arrive in your mailbox by tomorrow morning. They offer free overnight shipping and it's worked perfectly for me every time I've used it. I like the plain yellow ones, but the polka dots add an extra fun touch. The polka dots are $45 and can be found here.
The yellow boots below are $70, but I love the buckle detail. Check them out here.


Lastly, here are two other accessories that would top off your rainy day look. A blanket and a Wake Forest mug filled with some hot tea will be the perfect accessories for your afternoon nap.
