March Madness - What Nicole Wore

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know that I live and die for basketball season; so it’s both incredibly exciting and sad that March Madness is {almost} here. It’s exciting because it’s the first month that I’m co-hosting the How I Style It monthly link up and this month’s theme is team colors! And of course, it’s sad because I’m going to miss Kentucky basketball when it’s all said and done…just not as much as I did last year.

I hope you’ll join us and share a blog post with your team colors and school spirit; check out the instructions at the end of this post 🙂

What Nicole Wore: March Madness — shop the post: proper manners, raising banners tee + blue geometric blazer c/o {also seen here} + dark blue skinny jeans + cobalt flats with tortoise cap toe {on sale for $80 | also seen here} + black druzy necklace {also seen here} + ring c/o {sold out, similar on sale} + blue bracelet via charming charlie {old} + fieldcrest watch c/o {use code whatnicoleworeFS for free sizing of your JORD wood watch!} + leopard leather purse {exact print sold out, linked in solid, on sale! | also seen here} + nail polish + matte foundation c/o influenster {provided for reviewing and testing purposes} + eyebrows + eyeshadow {favorite palette} + liquid eyeliner + turquoise eyeliner {on waterline} + blush + mascara + matte lipstick

As soon as I heard that the theme for this month’s link up, I ordered this tee. To be honest, I was already looking for a reason to justify the purchase so this really just made the choice easier. Not long after I ordered this one, it also came out in blue with a white banner — obsessed! {But I don’t need both….or do I?}

I love this blue patterned open blazer, especially the fun fringe tassel detail at the hem. I immediately thought it would look super cute over this sassy Kentucky tee while still staying in the school spirited state of mind. And obviously when rooting on the Cats, I always bring some leopard print. This bag is the perfect size for going to games because it holds all the essentials: tickets, keys, money, cards and of course my lucky sloth socks. {Don’t call me superstitious, UK went undefeated all of last season and then the one time I don’t wear the socks!}

I opted for simple accessories and a bright spring nail. I’ve been loving the OPI New Orleans collection lately and this shade, Got Myself Into a Jam-balaya, is my current favorite. Rings are a newer obsession of mine and this open pearl ring caught my eye pretty quickly; I grabbed a blue stretch bracelet and my wood watch to finish off my accessories.

GO CATS! Love that tee, and how you’ve paired it with that jacket. Also, that nail color is also my current obsession and is on my nails right now!!! I totally expected to hate it, but actually fell in love with it instead.
