WHAT TO WEAR TO HOMECOMING – HBCU EDITION

Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve noticed that over the past week I have been posting “looks” for HBCU Homecoming Season. I know homecoming is a big deal for most, if not all colleges and universities; but I believe that HBCU’s do homecoming better! They bring out current students, alumni, community members, children, businesses, you name…they’re there. Because of this, I thought it would be cool to share inspirational looks for those of you who may be attending an HBCU homecoming this year. 

I didn’t “shop” for any of the tops – I honestly don’t have the time to do that, but I did search for all of the bottoms, shoes and jewelry. Last week I shared outfit inspo for HBCU’s with homecoming games on October 1st. In this post I am going to share all of the deets from those posts (along with links or links to similar pieces) just in case you are on the hunt for some of these pieces.

ALABAMA A&M UNIVERSITY

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (Alabama A&M University or AAMU) is my alma mater! I am a two time graduate of the Alabama A&M University, so I know what homecoming looks like for this HBCU specifically. We (alumni and students alike) tend to dress along the whole spectrum during the homecoming game and tailgating. Anywhere between super casual and extremely dressy. I used to be one of those girls who wore jeans and heels at the game until I started to tailgate the majority of the time. When this happens, your comfort is way more important that what you are wearing, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t want to look stylish.

If I buy the set, you KNOW I’m styling the separates. 🤎

One adidas two-piece, five different looks—from distressed denim and printed sneakers to a sleek skirt and boots. And these wide-leg pants? Add a fitted blazer and suddenly sporty feels very polished.

Your closet has more outfit possibilities when you let your pieces mix and mingle. ✨

Which look would you wear: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

Save this for your next outfit planning session and shop the looks through my LTK—link in bio.

Dressed for the meeting AND the “you’re on mute.” 😂💻

Our office Halloween theme is hybrid/telework, so I’m giving business on top, casual on the bottom. A plaid blazer, crisp white shirt, ripped jeans…and bow pumps because even my costume needs a finishing touch. 🎀

Would you call this a costume or just a good Thursday outfit? 😂

Shop the look through the LTK link in my bio.

The kitchen aisle deserves a little attention, too. 😉 Spotted these Staub and Le Creuset finds at HomeGoods, and of course I had to share.

A lot of classic, a little charming… even in the kitchen. 🤍

Which caught your eye—Staub or Le Creuset?

Fall plans? I already have the outfit. 🤎

There’s something about a crisp shirt and tall boots that makes me excited to get dressed. Add a relaxed jacket, let the cuffs peek out, and the weekend outfit is decided.

Save this for your next crisp-weather outing, and shop the look through the LTK link in my bio.
