TCU dress

TCU football games have an odd dress code.  Football games have always been the place to be seen.  Dressing up is the unofficial requirement.  As a student I subscribed to more of the Hyperfrog style of dress:  face paint, purple hair, and crazy shirts and costumes.  As an alum, I've calmed it down a little and swapped out my old purple craziness for any purple TCU shirt and my TCU alumni hat. 

Over the last year I've noticed the cute TCU dresses that have been popping up on campus, and I've seen other schools in on the trend:  A&M, Baylor, Oklahoma State.  Not wanting to shell out $70 for the ones I saw, I decided to use my craft skills and make my own.  I found an ankle-length dress at Old Navy in TCU purple, and it was the last one of its kind so I got a pleasant surprise when it rang up for about ten bucks at the register!  It was a little too long to show off my boots, so I cut it off at the knees and hemmed it.  For the TCU tie-in, I added a rhinestone "TCU" in the signature curved style on the top left strap.

Add a purple necklace and horned frog earrings, and it's game time!
