For those bowl game traveling folks who are on location for New Year's Eve, you might be in need of a party dress with some school spirit. When you are traveling with the team, you always want to coordinate with your team colors. I've had many moments, in bowl game travels and in my college town, that have called for a cocktail dress suitable for a university-sponsored party. While there are many places to get darling gameday dresses (check Gameday Style's "Gameday Uniform Style" category), NYE calls for a frock with a dressier edge.
For a quick solution, you can use
J.Crew is known for their basics with interesting details in many different colors every season (I stock up when my team color is one of their season's colors). Here are a few sweet party dresses in their Bridesmaid and Party dress collection that you can get in a fun color.
