The Good, The Bad and The Rainy

As much as we desperately needed some rain around these parts, the leftovers of Hurricane Isaac really "rained on my parade" so to speak for our first football game. Unless you consider a lovely yellow waterproof jacket fashionable, I don't have much to update you all on for my first Game Day outfit of the 2012 season.

I was able to wear a cute dress on Friday, for "National College Colors" day, but yesterday decided to be practical and ended up wearing a jeans, tee-shirt, and SNEAKERS (the horror!!!)  in order to be not completely miserable while sitting in a day long deluge that ranged from feeling like I was produce in the veggie aisle getting a nice light mist, to feeling like i was fully clothed in my shower on full blast. At least it was warm (80s) so i never felt too uncomfortable. And I can certainly attest that my rainproof jacket thankfully lived up to its billing.

Here are a few of pictures of Week One (not too many as I didn't want to keep my camera out of the plastic baggie too long!!!)

How I Spent My Saturday: hanging out with my good buddy Truman, and my not so good friend Isaac. Fashion note: Truman was sporting an SEC patch on his jersey!

Necessities: Rainproof Jacket, Plastic Baggies to protect camera and cell phone, and you know, game tickets! 

One of Mizzou's Traditions: the Missouri waltz pre-game! 

Not the best picture,  but here was what I wore for National College Colors day--a cute Forever 21 sundress (purchased last year, around $12, sometimes it pays to shop with the teeny boppers!) and necklace from Anthropologie (also a couple seasons old!). I threw on a black blazer at work and wore black peep toe pumps to complete the look.

As for tailgating, we stuck to the indoor variety and visited one of our favorite spots in Columbia, Flat Brach Brewery.  I had their famous Green Chili Beer and some yummy pretzel bread. If you're visiting Columbia for a game, I would definitely recommend this spot--when there isn't a hurricane in Missouri (which you know, is most of the time), their patio is the spot to be!

Sigh. Hoping for better weather next weekend for our SEC home opener vs. UGA.
