Fashionista: Maine lobster a stress free meal

by

Hello, my fine Sooner fellows!  Fear not, your fashionista is here and even though there may be chins dragging and heads hanging low right now, cheer up, Charlies! 

The darkest night comes just before the dawn!  The sun will shine again and your wardrobe will reflect the sheer elegance of the coming times. 

This week we will showcase our fine fashion fleekness in the state of Mr. Stephen King himself: Maine. 

Fitting seeing as this is the week before Halloween.  This is a state that is known for odd accents and even odder outfits.  How does one dress to catch lobsters?  I’ll not even address the earflaps on toques, dear me, no.

I do know most of us know how to don our regalia when feasting on the fine red fishy things drenched in butter however.  With a bib?  I’m in jest, surely you realize.  No trendy advisor would even suggest such a thing and I shan’t either.

Donning the Sooner duds for Dixie land

by

Good day, my Sooner Lovelies!  I know the world seems to be whirling around us right now and we feel that everytime we wind up on the Gridiron Runway of Life, our wonderful creations are being shredded before us. 

We must not let this make our lovely dimpled chins drop, nor our wonderfully coiffed heads hang.  Sooner fashion will live forever tasteful and classic!

So to lift our spirits we’ll begin today with some lyrics known well by the guests we’ll visit this week.

I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten,

Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

This, of course, is the ditty known as Dixie or Dixie Land and is known throughout the Southern regions of our fair country.  This week we will be visiting the Ol’ Miss in Mississippi.

Sooner Fashionista: Show up in anything and you have outdressed ‘Cock couture

by

Well, hola, mi amigos?  ¿Que pasa? Hai pasado un pescado. ¿Dónde está el baño? 

I took Spanish in high school and have not forgotten a word.  Why do I bring it up now, on the verge of a visit to South Carolina?  Because, me fashion beauties, after much research I have to ask “Que Pasa” when it comes to fashion in that neck of the backwoods.

I wracked my fashion filled brain to remember even an utterance in any of the top fashion mags about how the folks down south like to present themselves. 

South Carolina is not known for its Chicness nor its knowledge of En Vogue down “that-away” as the locals say. After a meeting with top designers, namely a scroll through Google, I found that the “Game Cocks” (excuse my crudeness of phrase)  of South Carolina are not trend savvy.  Wonder of wonders. 

In fact, I found that the four items of clothing that are needed for fashion completeness are, and I quote, “A T-shirt, a sundress, a vest or pullover and, get ready for this, a hat”.  So basically if you go anywhere and you’re not nude, you’re a trendy fashionista.
