Right now, I’m in Dallas, TX visiting family for Thanksgiving Holiday, and it occurred to me how much my hometown has an influence on my current fashion in LA. I still own a pair of cowboy boots, I love wearing leather, and I love anything that has a western flair. Since moving to LA, I’ve developed my own sense of style: melding in what I know with what’s current and trending in the fashion world. With that said, you can only imagine how elated I was to see that western-style belts have made it’s way back into the fashion world. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
This is a pair of H&M Slim-Fit Pants High-Waist in Light Denim Blue that I purchased earlier this year for less than $25. It fits so ridiculously well and the material is decent quality for a pair of denim that is less than $30 at regular price. I originally purchased these to wear to work because I needed a pair of jeans that I didn’t mind getting dirty. However, I fell in love with this pair, and now I can’t believe what a steal it was and want to purchase it in other colors as well. This color is currently sold out, but here is a similar look.
I’m wearing a ZARA Polo Neck Top in Black/Ecru, which is currently under $20. By now you know that I have an obsession with grey, high-waist, crop tops, and of course, stripes. This top is just the perfect amount of horizontal black and white. I especially love that the side panels of the shirt are vertical vs. horizontal stripes. The polo neck has enough neck coverage so that you don’t have to wear a scarf on a cold, chilly night. Here’s a similar look.
This is an Urban Outfitters’ Ecote Metal-Tipped Leather Belt in Black that I got for less than $25 because I had a special promotional code for being an Urban On Insider member. I read the reviews and everyone talked about how this belt is small and can only be worn high-waisted. I got a size small, and didn’t find much of an issue wearing this belt with mid-waist jeans.
This is probably my new favorite go-to belt. You’ve see this western-style accessory on all the fab fashionistas (i.e. Kendall, Pepamack). This is a knock-off look from the original The Lair Leather Hendrix Belt, but for such a trendy item I don’t mind spending less than $30 for it.
I wish everyone a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Holiday! Please drive safely and be sure to call an Uber if you end up celebrating too much or too hard. I’ll be back after Thanksgiving, and can’t wait to hear about your Thanksgiving celebrations!
