Round up some Western Chic...

One leading trend that I am loving for spring is western chic...

The look is sexy, rugged, feminine & easy to work into any type of style...

Denim on denim has always been a favorite of mine & to achieve the 'western' look rather than the '80's' look, keep the wash of the denim basic & break apart the two pieces with a leather belt...

I'm sure you automatically think flannel when you think country western, but I personally think it's time to change it up a bit & not be so cliche.  Instead of flannel, try a leather button up for a western twist...

This suede, over-sized pockets vest is a perfect touch of western chic! Paired with tousled loose braid & sundress= perfection...

You cannot go wrong with leather boots & a white linen dress...

This picture is not only gorgeous, but country western to the T!  For most of you, the look is not as realistic for you to wear for your day to day errands. But what I do suggest when you find a photo like this, find a couple pieces on the model that you do adore & implement those into your wardrobe.  For instance, I am loving the knee-high stockings & leather boots...

Now ladies, let's try to steer away from the pigtail braids & into a look that's a little more updated & alluring.  Big, loose curls with some braided accents looks desirably messy...

If you're going to try the cowboy hat, try a flimsy one instead of a structured one...

When pairing your 'western' items, keep the color palette neutral & the accessories bold...

Fringe, Fringe, Fringe!! A look that can be paired with so many trends for spring! I highly suggest investing in a fringe bag, you will not be disappointed...

Leather banded bracelets adorned with silver are a nice addition as well...

Since you probably are aware of my obsession with chunky necklaces, I simply couldn't leave them out for this trend either!  Fun, bright colors with small beading would work perfectly...

& don't forget a touch of turquoise!
