What I Wore Last Week: Big Sky, MT (July 27- August 1)

Montana is cowboy country at its finest and I took outfit inspiration from what I saw around me while adding my own flavor to the mix.

Note to self (and anyone traveling to Montana this summer), it is always colder in Montana. It’s just that much further north and they get storm systems moving through there like clockwork each afternoon. The good news is the weather does keep moving. Big skies make for a beautiful backdrop to watch a thunderstorm in the distance. Outfit-wise, that means layers. I was so glad I brought (and bought) sweater tanks to keep my core warmer. My bootcut jeans were an evening staple, as was my heavier suede jacket.

One thing I stumbled upon while up-leveling my cowgirl outfit game was this thin line between cowboy country and costal county. These two aesthetics are for sure different, but there are elements that overlap and when paired together you’ve got something so classic, Western and casual— it’s actually amazing. I’m calling it Costal Cowboy.

I’m going to put together a packing list video (over on YouTube) for Montana in the summer, but for now I will leave you with this: bring your cowboy boots, a wide brimmed hat, a denim shirt, pair of jeans, and a bandana. The rest you can style in with these essentials and come out feeling and looking great.

Happy Trails! xx
