STYLE GURU STYLE: Staycoach

If youโ€™re a country fan like me, then warm weather means windows down and Tim McGraw playing on the radio, and you probably contemplated dropping close to $500 to spend three days in Indio, California at Stagecoach. However, if the logistics didnโ€™t work out or the weekend was just too pricey, you probably stayed on campus (like me). Hey, if you canโ€™t make Stagecoach, you can always Staycoach!

I stayed in LA for the weekend and spent as much of my days outside as I could. Luckily, we experienced some cooler temperatures and a whole lot less dust in Westwood (but seriously, I have mad respect for the people who managed to camp for three days in the desert).

When I headed to brunch on Sunday, I rocked my best cowgirl-chic outfit so I could live vicariously through my friends who went to the festival. I paired an off-the-shoulder black long sleeve top with some fringed denim culottes, black booties, and a western-inspired black belt. I wrapped my hair in a top knot and threw on some hoops for a little flare.

While culottes might not be everyoneโ€™s first choice (they are a bit too reminiscent of my childhood years in gauchos), this outfit could be similarly styled with a denim skirt or some ripped boyfriend jeans. Fashionistas could also dress it down with some Stan Smith sneakers and a crossbody bag.

While my weekend could have been filled with dancing in sweaty crowds and listening to Maren Morris with a sunset backdrop, I am more than happy to save that money for more shopping trips, Postmates orders, and Uber rides home at 2 a.m.
