On Saturday morning I was surprised by a last minute invite to a Cubs game. My friend had an extra ticket I wouldn’t have to pay for (sweetness) and it was shaping out to be a beautiful day. Now if I agreed to go I would actually spend time outdoors, versus the much more likely home-bound Saturday, so I agreed.
Now a clothing dilemma occurred: what does one wear to a sporting event?
At ND I was often called out for some of my unconventional home game apparel choices. As in donning multiple accessories (belts, etc) to liven up “The Shirt”, or having my hair completely curled by a friend before the game (execution time: 1 hour, which could have been spent drinking, in retrospect).
But, as I often learn these days, we’re not in college anymore. This is the real world!
I was pondering revisiting the outfit I wore to the first Cubs game I attended last summer (I won the tickets for donating blood and my cousin was in town, which explains that attendance): bright blue shirt, white skirt, red necklace and bracelet. Overkill really. Plus, they were playing the Cardinals, so I was confused as to how my red would be interpreted.
I opted to go comfortable, color neutral and weather-appropriate. Satisfied with my choice, I called my boyfriend as I was walking to the bus.
Me: So what do you wear to a baseball game attire? How about a black shirt, grey corduroy skirt and cowboy boots? Is that appropriate?
A: Yes, yes it is… In
The state has issues (ahem, Bush), but it sure got them boots right.
