Take Me Out to the Ball Game

What's more American than a baseball game?

I've been to several baseball games since I was a little girl, but it wasn't until a few years ago where I really became a fan.  My husband was watching his team, the Kansas City Royals, and I sort of got sucked in.  Next thing I know I own several Royals tees, a cute hat and I'm yelling at the tv when my team is winning or getting their butts kicked!

I love going to baseball games.  Mainly because it's a sport that I actually understand and can follow!  Much to my husbands disappointment, I still don't understand all the rules of football.

This past week my family and I are were able to attend a Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals game thanks to the USO.  Along with Kroger and Coca-Cola Consolidated they put on a great pre-show for us and told us about their new campaign: "Mini Bottle Message".

We were allowed to enter the game early and go into the "Fan Zone", where the USO had some dancer/singers, a few goodies and of course a mini bottle message for each of us.  Each bottle had a hand written thank you note from random people thanking not only our service members but the families as well for everything they do for our country.  I won't lie, some of those messages really touched my heart.

I learned a lesson this day too.. and yes most of your are probably going to shake your heads and laugh at me.  And I'm sad to say this isn't the first time I've done this.  But don't ever wear new boots to a game!  One you have to walk several blocks (or a mile in our case) and up several flights of stairs and all around the park.  But in my defense the boots were way too cute not to wear!  And hey I've got to break them in some how!

Originally when I went to buy new booties I had my eye on another pair, but when I saw these G by Guess ones I fell in love.  Not only are they super cute and comfortable, but the best part is on the side is a zipper so you don't have to lace them up!  Grab your pair here.

Of course you can't go to a baseball game, or any event for that matter and not take a few selfies!

I'm a little obsessed with this outfit.  One it's simple and clean cut, and secondly it fits in with just about any setting.  The top is long which is great for the tall ladies and these jeans, seriously I can wear everyday.  Shhh  I might wear them several times a week too!  I'm all about tucking in the front of my longer shirts like this.  Mainly because it doesn't look to loose and gives me some shape.  And of course I had to wear these new booties.. and yes I ended up with a couple of blisters by the ends of the night.  But they're broken in now!!
