This Wednesday's feature is Western Chic (pronounced sheek not chick)! I am in love with all of the indian beading, moccasins, cowboy boots, denim, I could go on and on but will stop there to spare you! What I mean by western chic is implementing all sorts of different elements of western and pairing it will something a little more modern like dressy casual with a little western funk!
The serape prints, concho belts, turquoise, leather, fringe, oh my! My head is spinning just thinking of all the fabulous things I love in this trend category!
These are some of our retro, pearl snap, western shirts that are great paired up with denim shorts, and gobs of jewelry!
In order to achieve this look all you need is a cute sun dress, shorts paired with a tank and old western mens shirt, a pair of worn out cowboy boots or moccasins, and a gaudy concho belt with some turquoise jewelry!
Or wear a casual outfit and add a small western bandana scarf tied around your neck to set off your western cowgirl vibe!
I love worn-out western bandana scarves! I actually collect them! But if you can't find one in your closet, keep sakes, or at a local thrift store then you can make one by purchasing a bandana at your local craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's (they normally cost like 25 cents or something cheap like that) and making it vintage. To make it look vintage you need to either sun bleach it (let the sun fade it out) or wash multiple times in hot water to try to get the color to fade! You just don't want your bandana to be real bright and stiff!
Once you have perfected your bandana you can then wear it multiple ways to add your western flair to any outfit! Here's a few examples:
In your hair as an added retro headband!
As a bracelet or scarf! Just be creative and wear it with confidence!
Go get 'em cowgirl!
XOXO,
Megan
