The Dadgum Debutante Does Dallas: A Peek Inside Her Suitcase

The Dadgum Debutante in Dallas for gameday

You might remember The Dadgum Debutante's popular post about BCS Championship Style for FSU Fans. Well, she's back because this loyal Seminoles fan is in Dallas for the team's hotly anticipated season opener against Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Style Ref had to know how does a fashionable sports fan prepare for such a momentous occasion? Luckily, The Dadgum Debutante was willing to give us a peek inside her suitcase.

Patriotism is in the air, thanks in part to World Cup fever and the Fourth of July. Get in the spirit with Team USA style that won't break your budget. Shop three red, white and blue outfits, each with a total price tag of less than $50!

Putting on your swimsuit is the easy part, but what about everything else you need for a day of lounging by the water? Let The Style Ref be your guide to the best swim accessories for sports fans, so you can let your team pride shine at the beach or pool!

Say Yes to the Dress

No matter what the occasion, whether it's work or play, a great dress can do no wrong. As the epitome of fashion and function, the same dress can go from a casual afternoon to an elegant evening out with simple adjustments to makeup, hair and accessories. While there are appropriate times and places to don fan apparel, fashionable sports fans know that you don't have to wear your team's logo everywhere to show your team spirit - sometimes, all you need is a little color.

Earn extra style points at this year's holiday parties with a flattering dress in your favorite team's signature shades. It's the perfect way to make a subtle yet eye-catching fashion statement that even rival fans will love. Dresses are also a wardrobe staple, so you can enjoy wearing this special dress all year long, not just during the season.
