Fashionista: Cougar fashion is tricky

by

Greetings all you lovely guys and dolls of the Sooner nation. 

I’m happy to tell you it’s time to move from aviary predator chic to mammalian predator chic.  Yes, dears, this week we discuss Houston and the Cougars. 

And if there is anything I can truly relate to it’s these predators with sharp nails and keen eyes to pounce just when the right prey is in sight.  Young, fabulous prey that can keep a middle-aged Cougar on her toes.  Not too young of course.  Anyone under 21 is strictly verboten and this fashionista does not approve, Mrs. Robinson.

Just so, Cougar fashion is tricky.  One must be willing to show just enough skin to entice but leave just a little enough covered, so if he needs a mothering figure, one is there. 

A nice skirt with a high slit perhaps.  A snug button up shirt with a few unbuttoned to entice, but not display in vulgarity.

Fashionista: SEC brings new reason to dress up

by

Hello all you Sooner Fashion Folk! It’s your old gal pal the Sooner Fashionista to help you navigate the twist and turns that can be so Fashionatingly Frustrating: Football Season here in the great state of Oklahoma! 

Yes, your fashionista has started creating words.  One has to be on their toes to make a splash in the middle of this very important time of year.  This year we will be discussing:

How the SEC’s Us.  Each week will bring a new reason to dress properly for the season.

However, this week, we get an easy start.  We face an opponent who isn’t even in the SEC.  They are in the AAC conference.  Aac, Ack, Eek and Eww is right.  We begin with Temple, the Owls from some place up North.  Who really cares? 

They rely on sweaters and tuques up that way.  I mean, how Canadian!  Or in this case, Can’t-nadian.

It would seem, as their mascot shows, that the fashion up that way must represent feathers.  Possibly talons and beaks as ritualistic jewelry. 

Talk about passe.  That went out with Lewis and Clark, darlings.  Whenever your competition relies on feathery frippery adorned with druidic relics, possibly to call upon heathen god’s, anything in Crimson and Cream will pull you waaaay further ahead on the road to chic flavor sensation of the Oklahoma kind.

Keep those shirts on at the tailgate, friends

by

Hello, Crimson and Cream Fashion Lovers!  I am so glad to be back into the haute couture mix where I judge you silently from afar. 

Forgive my recent absence.  I had to take a sudden break due to an egregious faux pas committed by a dear friend.  I had to bail her from fashion jail, swearing I will never let her wear burnt orange again. 

And if you silently pronounced that last phrase, “fox pause”, you need to contact your closest well dressed friend as well or you may find yourself in the stony lonesome, wearing bright orange which looks good on no one.

Today is the day, friends!  Today we will discuss the ever popular, but ever differing, Tail Gating Party.  When I say differing, I mean several things but today I will be discussing size and offerings provided by each.
