Well thank you. I am actually only 5′2″ so I am betting you could pull it off too. Of course – anytime.

I love those bright turquoise tights, they are such a beautiful color! I have my own pair from H&M. I love the Western boots too, I think they suit dresses perfectly. They are a little bohemian for girly-girls like me, but being eclectic is a good thing

I think you pull off the long cardigan! On my tiny 5′3 frame, however, I would be swimming in fabric hahaha. Thanks for letting me feature you, I’d love to do this again!

Thank you all for your sweet comments I am very flattered! I agree that a shorter cardigan would have been better but sometimes you just have to work with what you have. How I wish I had an endless fashion budget. These cowgirl boots have been amazing I highly recommend finding a good pair.

I both agree and disagree with your critique. I think that for the style she was attempting it looks pretty cute – very prairie-esque. I do agree that a shirt dress would look great though. Also I think on her body the proportions look good; personally I would go either shorter on the cardigan or like you said, shorter on the dress, but on her I think it works well. I think what makes me love this outfit the most though is the way she matches her pieces…Many times people stick to neutrals because color coordinating scares them, but this outfit shows how simple it can be.

I really think I need to invest in some cowboy boots now; do you have any pictures of outfits you put together with them for some inspiration?

I do love a grey bodycon dress with bright tights; simple yet sophisticated!

Agreed! I love it when people can take basic pieces and make them look super chic.

She’s cute, but that outfit is a bit frumpy for me. If I was going to do those tights, I’d wear with a t-shirt dress rather than that one, which looks grandma to me. If anything, that dress should be shorter than than jacket, especially considering she’s wearing it with tights.

I love the boots. I hate most country things, but I have a couple pair of thrifted cowboy boots that I adore. They look really laid back paired with a more urban outfit, and genuine ones are super comfy.

I was wearing tights of that exact same color today! I would have never thought to pair them with something Western-inspired, though. It looks great. Whenever I wear bright tights I pair them with neutrals (black or grey, usually) so as to not have too many colors going on.

Shauna looks awesome! But then again, Shauna looks awesome everyday. I do love the western look and the tights. What I love most about Shauna’s style is how effortlessly feminine she always looks.
