Western Flair:









I once had an old man in a pub come up to me and say that I had a "Kablooie" look to me.  At the time I wasn't sure if I should take that as a compliment or be offended.  Judging by my puzzled look, he further explained that it meant I had a western flair to me.  Although a true bred city girl I'm more of what you call an "all terrain" girl and my style definitely reflects that dynamic.  Lucky for me, western style has had a strong influence in fashion lately, a look which I have always naturally been drawn to and have incorporated in my wardrobe.  From conchos and fringe to ankle boots and bolo ties, western flair has been popping up everywhere.  This embellished blouse is one of my most recent finds thrifting and is evidently on point with the cowboy trend.  Although my accessories compliment the western style of the blouse, by pairing it with some leather pants and having it buttoned down I find gives it more of a modern look without being so hokey.  Just don't expect me to go tipping cows any time soon.
