Wear it Wednesday: SXSW

There are a few ways, stylistically, that you can really go when headed to SXSW--it's less like a festival in that it's not a total fashion free-for-all, but it is a great opportunity to try out some new looks.

Cowboy(girl) boots will always be in style in Texas. Let's just accept and appreciate that. Boots (Western or otherwise) are a great show option, too, they save feet from many crushed toes!

While I've been known to enjoy some Southern lady looks, I've lately been gravitating to a more tough-gal look--and a rock 'n roll week is certainly the perfect place to try that look out. I mean, golden leather(ish?) hot pants? Are you kidding me? I'm in love.

With both the looks, if you're visiting Austin, I must stress to you the importance of layers. Central Texas weather is notoriously unpredictable. Bring a sweater.
