One Dress, Three Ways
3 Fun Ways to Style a Summer Dress
Every cowgirl understands the stare-down with that one neglected dress in her closet. You know, the one that’s hanging there, collecting dust. But fear not, your style posse is here to assist, rounding up pieces you likely already own! And if you don't, we've got you covered. With just one dress, you can create three distinct looks for any occasion, merging modern style with a Western flair.
Rodeo Ready
Start with a flowy dress as your foundation. This simple yet versatile piece sets the stage for all your summer rodeos and country concerts. We recommend a neutral color or rustic hue like this earthy blue mini dress from Wishlist. Add a touch of sass by layering a lace or crochet bralette underneath, letting the delicate details peek through for a playful twist. With cowboy boots, big earrings, and hints of turquoise, you will be ready to kick up some dust or dance the night away in no time.

Urban Cowgirl
Elevate your Western-inspired look for a date night or girls’ night downtown by adding a timeless denim jacket for a touch of rugged charm. Swap cowboy boots for chic, chunky sandals in a neutral tone, perfect for a hint of sophistication. This versatile and classic outfit transitions effortlessly from day to night, offering endless style possibilities.

Casual Country
For a more relaxed look, layer a cozy, chunky sweater over the dress. Slip into a pair of Birkenstock sandals for ultimate comfort and practicality. The laid-back vibe of Birkenstocks pairs perfectly with the casual, effortless feel of the outfit. Accessorize with some leather earrings and a beaded clutch and you’ll be ready to stroll through town or run errands in style and at ease.
