Putting Together a Southwest Summer Outfit
The Southwest look has been hot for a few years now and with it's flattering color scheme for almost anyone, it's a great look to try out no matter what your hair color or skin tone.
To get into the mode of the southwest look, think "southwest". Thinking blowing desert breezes and flowing fabrics that will reflect that. Think early colors from the painted mountains such as earthy oranges, turquoise blues, off whites, yellow tones and dusky reds.
Long flowing button up shirts made from lightweight cottons and a dusty blue pair of pants is a good start. Pair that with a long duster coat with some turquoise beaded accents and you have a good look. Your shoes should also reflect the look. Heels or flats is your choice but keep the color scheme. An embellished pair of
light purple sandals is a must for any Southwest themed wardrobe.
Also, hats are part of the Southwest look. Cowboy or hats with a decidedly western flavor can be incorporated into a good look. Jewelry worn is mostly sterling silver that is accented with turquoise or other stones found in the region such as jasper.
In the cooler months boots are a good accessory and as for hair styles, long and flowing or in braids; or a short and sassy cut that looks a little tossed and windblown will look adorable.
Getting a Southwest look is an affordable way to ride a fashion trend and look great doing it!
