Hey Ladies! All your Magic City Classic Weekend Fashion & Makeup Looks are Here
Classic Weekend is upon us and if you are not from Alabama, the Magic City Classic is a football game between two of our top Historic Black Colleges. One of the major highlights of Classic season is not just the game, concerts, parties, parade, and food, but most of us look forward most to the fashion.
The fashion during Classic Weekend is unbeatable. Kangol and fedora hats, boots, leather, silk, mink…. It all comes out in full effect to make Birmingham, Alabama rival Fashion Week in New York or Milan.
This year I decided to shop in Birmingham’s own backyard to come up with some Fashion and Make-up looks for the ladies this Magic City Classic Weekend.
I took a trip to the 5 Points West Mall Strip on Bessemer Road and hit three of the top stores for the ladies: Citi Trends, Simply 10, and Rainbow. I also did some browsing on Rainbow’s websites. From these experiences, I came up with some very affordable ideas to get you through Classic Weekend. Check it out.
Day Party Looks
Since 2017 day parties have become the new wave for Classic festivities. Here are a few stylist looks to get you though a day at the office and straight on your way to the afternoon chill spot.
Faux Wrap Floral Top
Price: $7.99
Size: S M L XL
Where to Find: Rainbow’s website
This cute top will look perfect at your day party. The slight dip at the neckline is feminine and timeless. I would totally pair this top with a mustard, burgundy, or olive pant or skirt.
Faux Versace Two Piece
Price: Top: $10.00 Pant: $10.00
Size: 1X 2X 3X
Where to Find: Simply 10 in store
This stretchy two piece comes in royal blue, black, and red. This is a jazzy Versace knock off that would actually look really cute with a high heel and a simple clutch. Sure to make you stand out at the party! Warning please don’t totally zip the zipper, mid-way is fine.
Satin Pleated Midi Skirt
Price: $19.97
Size: S M L XL
Where to Find: Rainbow’s website
This beautiful satin skirt is so versatile it will easily take you from the office to the party. For work pair it with it a black top and blazer, but for the party try a graphic tee and a nice leather moto jacket or denim jacket. You could also keep it dressy with a fitted semi-sheer blouse. Either way, this look will be bomb!
Ribbed Stripe Detail Sweater Dress
Price: 19.99
Size: 1X 2X 3X
Where to Find: Rainbow’s website
This sweater dress is to die for and it is so sexy and cozy. This dress would look so nice with boots or heels. Personally, I would pair it with a bold strappy white heel and a really bright red lip with a winged black liner! For a dressed down look you could go for a red or black Converse shoe.
Concerts and After Parties
Concerts and after parties go hand and hand with Classic Weekend. Here are some looks that are sure to get you Classic ready.
Stretchy Mustard and Blue Two Piece
Price: Top: $10.00 Pants: $10.00
Size: S M L XL
Where to Find: Simply 10 store
This cute little set will take you from the concert to the after party easily. Dress it up with heels and a clutch, also some shiny bracelets and earrings for a touch of elegant bling.
Brown Faux Leather Exposed Stitching Dress
Price: $10.00
Size: S M L XL
Where to Find: Simply 10 store
This is a really cute dress that I think would only look good with a pair of high heeled boots. This dress needs a heel so that it will not look boxy and it also needs a long boot because it is on the short side. It also screams 70’s in a good way, so pick out your natural curls ladies and throw on the big hoops!
Grey Twist Front Ribbed Sweater Dress
Price: $16.97
Size: S M L XL
Where to Find: Rainbow in store
This dress is ready to jam! Add a nice silver jewelry to jazz things up.
White or Blue Sheer and Sweater Dress
Price: $22.97
Size: 1X 2X 3X
Where to Find: Rainbow in store
This dress is beautiful, chic, and sexy at the same time. The sleeve and chest area are sheer, while the rest is like a sweater dress. It will keep you warm, yet add a little humph! With both colors, shake things up with a red pump and turn heads all night!
Red Draped Dress
Price: $16.97
Size: 1X 2X 3X
Where to Find: Rainbow in store
This dress came to shut the party DOWN. Red, draped bold, what more can I say? Give your hair a deep side part and a soft wave for an old Hollywood style.
Magic City Classic Parade and Football Game
The Magic City Classic Parade and Football Game is what it is call about! Here are some looks to keep you warm and fashionable.

Tie Waist Faux Wrap Sweater

This is the cutest sweater in the world! It would look great with jeans or leather pants or even a leather skirt (and fishnets *wink). Try to keep it simple with a small necklace and maybe diamond studs.

The cut-outs is what sets this sweater off. Simple, classic, yet trendy.
Boot Time
The Magic City Classic is in October which to me is the official start of boot season. Citi Trendz was not very forthcoming in the way of outfits, but did not disappoint with boots. Check them out
Sparkly-backed High Heeled Boots
Price: $22.99
These boots could be the Belle of the ball. They have some give to accommodate wider calves and shrink down for smaller calves.

These boots would make any outfit more stylish. Of the course, the lace accommodates any size leg.
Brown Suede Long Boots

Burgundy is the color of the season and this boot would add a nice pop of color to a white sweater dress.
Denim High-Heeled Ripped Fishnet Boots

This kind of boot is really a high fashion piece, precede with caution!
Houndstooth Mid-length Leather Boot

Cute, classy, and simple. They will look great for the Classic Weekend then go right back in to Alabama football season (Roll Tide!)
Make-Up Looks
Here are some make-up looks I created for your Classic Weekend consideration. You can add false lashes for a bolder look or try the eye shades with different shades of lipstick.
Wedding Dress White
This look is a wispy white look that would look simply amazing with one of the white sweaters above.
Ms. Dandrige Not Monroe
This look has that classic old Hollywood look that is timeless and would be best suited for a sexy dress and heels.
Brown-Eyed Girl
This look with shades of gold and brown paired with a soft orange lip, would look really gorgeous at the Classic Parade or Game as it catches the shades of Autumn leaves as you enjoy Birmingham’s beautiful Fall weather outside.
Disco Queen
This glittery look married with a purple lip from MAC will really scream Donna Summers and is best suited for the night-time concert and after party.
Vampy Seduction
This makeup look is dark, sensual, and will entrance all who glaze. This look is strictly for the after party and will turn heads like none other!
