Tuesday Trend: School Pride

03/12/13 | Etsy, Fashion and Style, Georgetown, Travel, Tuesday Trend, Washington D.C.

As you know I swam in college and went down to Washington, D.C. this past weekend for the spring alumni gathering a highly anticipated and wildly successful basketball game:

“The curtain came down with a thud on one of college basketball’s most storied rivalries Saturday as No. 5 Georgetown trounced No. 17 Syracuse, 61-39, in the final regular-season meeting between the teams before the Orange leave the Big East.” – The New York Times

When I knew I was going down to Washington D.C. to watch my school play basketball with one of our biggest rivals I wanted to look cute in school apparel but also through a little twist in.  My solution was an ADORABLE Georgetown inspired bow from the shop Huntington B, started by one of my college classmate.  This is the bow I wore:

If you do not Bleed Hoya Blue or support Georgetown I am happy to report that Morgan has a ton of other options at her Etsy shop, these are my six favorite bows currently in her shop:
Navy and White and Sparkling Azure
Royal Purple Hairbow and Gold & Black Evening Bow
Nautical Pendant on Black & White and  Gold & Silver

And here are a few of the dozens of photos I took from the Georgetown vs. Syracuse game at the Verizon Center on Saturday: 

Are you a loyal supporter of your alma matter?
