Conquering The Western Fashion Trend

You may have noticed a certain trend breaking through the Fall/Winter clothing racks this year that seems far from the norm. Western fashion is being brought to the forefront of street styles, and I am totally here for it. I have been a fan of the Boho, Western trend for the past couple of years, but now it is evolving in a way that it can seamlessly make it into closets around the country.

I am here to show you how you too can add a bit of Western flare to your outfits. It may seem daunting to bring the clothing of the Great Frontier to your personal style, but simple accessories, or details of a garment, can elevate your ensemble to emulate this popular look.

Tops

Tops and sweaters with fringe are a great way to add dimension and flare to an outfit. These will not only keep you warm during the winter months, but add detail to an average cardigan or sweater.

Style it: I would pair this sweater alongside a pair of skinny jeans and booties. The sweater should be the focal point of the outfit.

Bottoms

Throughout the early 2010's, it seemed as if the only jean available were skinny jeans. As the decade has progressed, distressed denim has made itself the ultimate finish for a pair of jeans. Combing the distressed and Western styles allows for bell bottoms and flares to flatter an urban street style.
Raw hems, and slight distress marks on the denim can make the flared pants appear more modern and casual.

Style it: A simple top, graphic tee, or sweater will do the trick. The bell bottoms should be the point of emphasis in your outfit!

Shoes

Studs and other metal details are a great way to add a bit of pizazz to simple booties. These can be worn with skirts, skinny jeans, or even jean shorts during the summer, perfect for festival season!

Any pointed-toe boot also alludes to a classic cowboy boot. It also is very flattering by elongating the leg.

Using one of these pieces as a part of a whole ensemble will add the Western edge to an outfit that you're looking for.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
