Stampede Dreamin’

Embroidered Tunic Top | Corral Boots

Well we are less than 2 weeks away from the Calgary Stampede kicking off, which means time to look at the wardrobe and do some outfit prep! It can be a busy 10 days with so many different events and venues to check out, the last thing you want to do is scramble to find the right outfit. So we’ve partnered with Lammles Western Wear, the CS’s official western wear supplier to show off some of the new western trends to elevate your Stampede fashion but also leave you with pieces that you’ll want to take into the rest of your wardrobe and not just park in your closet after Stampede is over.

A common myths of western dressing, just grab a plaid or gingham shirt with jeans and go. One of the easiest ways to modernize a western outfit is to grab a feminine, dreamy top to offset masculine denim, leather and boots. Popular western wear choices include embroidery, blouse-y silhouettes and plenty of white linen. Look for ruched necklines with delicate ties and colorful imagery of birds, flowers and Mexican or even Ukrainian-influenced designs. Which is why I love this tunic top, it seems to embrace all of those feminine details and just loves to flutter when you move. I can see it getting lots of mileage this summer well after Stampede is over.

Other things I’m loving this year, anything fringe, wide leg palazzo pants or denim, headbands and lots of bold color and patterns. All things you can mix into your current wardrobe without going overboard. But stayed tuned, we have lots of fun options to show you guys in the next few weeks. And if you’ve seen my Instagram or Facebook in the last couple days, you’re going to want to check out Lammles Facebook or Instagram page @lammleswesternwear as we kick off 10 days of Stampede fashion, each day is a new outfit /look that we had the pleasure of shooting this week with the Calgary Stampede Queen & Princesses, and I can’t wait for you guys to see it!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
