CALI STYLE VS TEXAS STYLE VS MIDWEST STYLE
It's common knowledge that each region of the country has different style. Different
weather, climates, humidity or lack there of, can really determine how we are dressing and
what we are buying. Northern California might have similar buying practices as the Midwest
in the winter, but not southern California, and California isn't sweating it out in the humidity
everyday like Texas is. I know that hair is important in Texas and humidity makes hair bigger
and the higher the hair the closer to Jesus, but whew, humidity in Texas is no joke! You get
used to it though. I know the Midwest has humidity too, but its not Texan humidity. I'm going
to go over each state/area/region's fashion and style and what why people buy what they buy
and dress.
CALIFORNIA
We all know that LA is a fashion capital, but there is vastly more to the state than SoCal.
When you think about Cali style, its relaxed, easy, surfer, classic, fashion forward. Cali style
is as chill or dressy as you want to be. It's a melting pot of cultures so everyone feels
comfortable to express themselves fully.
Here is great example of Cali cool. I know the Olsen's live
in NYC now but they are Cali girls at heart and do relaxed cool and chic better than anyone.
They know how to buy classic, tailored pieces that are easy and relaxed enough to always
look chic. But California is about ease, and jeans and a button up shirt are essential in any
Cali girls wardrobe.
For example, off duty easy and relaxed Cali style. I'm fully
aware that she's not originally from Cali, but her stylist picked up on the style. It's put
together, easy, classy, dressy, but casual all at the same time. That's one thing I really
admire, its everything in one look and it all goes together effortlessly. Now, not everyone is
filming the Real Housewives and not everyone is in full glam everyday, but this is a nice off
duty look. |

TEXAS Everything is bigger in Texas, the food, the longhorns and the hair. I love Texas, I have
family there. What I have noticed about Texan fashion is that its the perfect mix of cowgirl
glam. I'm not good with nicknames so I'm not going to try to figure that one out lol. There
are those who are dressed like cowboys everyday, you have the hipsters as well, and
those ready for the red carpet. But always with some sort of oversized accessory that
shows they're from Texas.
One thing unique to Texas are the cowboy boots. I
know other southern states have them but they originated in Texas and if you go anywhere
else outside of the state and you see someone wearing decked out boots, you're going to
ask and wonder if they're Texan for sure. Cowboy boots can have as much bling or be as
plain as you want, but since everything is bigger in Texas, you might as well go big and get
all the bling.
Another thing to remember about Texas that it is
the south, so the women dress classy. Class and manners and how you present yourself to
society matter. There is a time and a place for every outfit and occasion. The outfit here is
cute, girly, and classy, and the light colors help her stay cool in the Texan heat, because
that heat and humidity ain't no joke.
This is the cowgirl glam I mentioned. She looks
chic, cute, girly, ready for the dirt and ready to go out on the farm. Texan women care
about their hair and makeup and appearances, but, boots, belt buckles and jeans go with
everything. I really admire their use of turquoise jewels and natural stones. I find that to be
a really underrated quality that they have and I really only see it in Texas and the
southwest. I should incorporate more of natural stones and turquoise into my collection.

MIDWEST
I have called the Midwest home now for 15 years. Holy cow it's time to move, that's a long
time lol. One thing I have noticed is how people dress. Let's be honest I notice that about
everyone, everywhere haha. I would describe Midwest fashion as comfy cute. Women
don't go too out of their way to dress or to be as chic as possible. OK, I don't always either
but there is quite a difference in the Midwest and say NYC for sure. Midwestern women
aren't wearing sky high heels, they usually make sure they can still walk and are
comfortable. They usually wear a casual floral dress and call that being fancy. Which is
fine, to each their own. Fashion fades but style is forever and there is fashion for everyone
out there. If we all dressed the same, how boring would that be?
This is a cute and chic and warm outfit. She dressed for
the winter day and still looks put together. I like how her boots seem to reach the bottom of
her coat hem so her legs are covered. This is cute, and there are plenty of options for chic
winter attire. A pretty and simple outfit can say more about you than an extravagant one.
Sometimes, the simpler the classier, the better.
And as I was saying about cute simple chic outfits, here
is another example. This is a great outfit for fall. She can easily wear all of these pieces
multiple other times with a variety of pieces. That's what smart shopping is about. Buy
smarter, simpler, classic, you will have outfits for decades. She put time into her hair and
made a conscious decision to be chic and classic, a great outfit.
Another cute simple outfit. Midwesterners are all about comfort and feeling comfy all day.
They don't put a ton of time into themselves, and that's okay. Not everyone has to. But this
outfit can easily be dressed up and for a casual day running around. This is a perfect outfit
if you're just running errands all day but you want to feel done and put together.
