Happy weekend my friends! Sorry for disappearing on you for over a week; I've been extremely busy so haven't had time to catch up.
I went to the
Canucks game last night and enjoyed the view from row EIGHT - that's super close to the ice for those of you who have not been to a hockey game. Close enough to see my
crush smile or grimace although certainly not as close as the time that I met him *major heart palpitations* in a pizzeria.
That got me thinking about ideal outfits to wear to a hockey game...
Now wearing your team's hockey jersey or tee in a mini size is perfectly acceptable as long as it's paired with nice fitting jeans (nothing too slouchy and none of those awful
pink Canucks jerseys - yuck). However, if you feel like something else, or you're like me and believe your jersey is jinxed, you might want to try some of these cozy sweater/leggings/boot combos.

I'm not a believer of wearing skirts or dresses to games - it's not too handy for walking up and down stairs. Plus the risk of beer spillage, ketchup squirts, and other messy rink foods (from yourself or others) makes it not worth it. Skinny jeans and leggings are the way to go.

As for my feet, I prefer a flat tall boot (motorcycle or equestrian). A small heel is a good option too, especially if you go with booties. I don't like wearing spiky stilettos or anything too femme fatale, and certainly not open-toed shoes!

Aritzia, skinny jeans, white crochet hat, and my brown motorcycle boots from
Vincent Park. My camera died on me before the game started so I apologize for not having more pictures.
This weekend I've got lots of catching up to do before I leave for Hawaii, including finishing my Christmas shopping. It's supposed to snow here this weekend so hope to have some pretty snow scenery to post here soon!

Awesome! I actually like the pink jerseys, but what do I know....Great stuff!!!
Love the 2nd outfit with the Ella Moss leggings!
haha I agree with you on the pink jerseys. It just feels wrong on something as masculine as a jersey. Besides girls wearing regular ones are hot!
I love all your sweater selections!! I should just send this post as my xmas list haha. And am so jealous of you going to Hawaii!! Why is everyone jetting off somewhere except me?!
@anonymous - well to each their own. but I still think the pink jerseys are kind of the "uggs" of hockey jerseys.
@rachel.krystina - yes those are cute. my fave is the equestrian pair (surprise surprise)
@MizzJ - hehe J anything you wear is hot!
Liv you are so diminutive that everything looks good on you. I was thinking a styled fitted canucks jersey that looks like a nice tunic might look pretty hot.
Off the shoulder sweater!! So so hot!
Those are great ideas for game outfits!
I am going to a game in march, that gives me some time to plan an outfit ;)

Take care

I love the topic of this post because it's exactly what I kept asking myself when my boyfriend asked me to my first hockey game. I didn't know if I should bundle up or dress for the warm weather outside. I ended up wearing layers, which worked out pretty well.
something big and warm.
Okay Liv, this is CRAZY! STOP THE CRAZY TALK!
You HAVE to wear the jersey. It's not cursed!
However, on the bottom, yes... sexy leggings and heels/boots is definitely the way to go :)
I like my Canucks leg warmers (made from Canucks Christmas stockings) with leggings and heels best :)
perfect!!
maybe my jersey is cursed too... sigh. i did wear my burrows tee once and we won! so i should try that out again. hehe
I sat first row once, you could practically see the sweat glisten off the players, it was aaamazing!
