How to Wear Overalls...Stampede Style
Stampede is just around the corner and one trend that is hitting streets hard is overalls! Some shy away from embracing this trend because they can often times be unflattering. However, they also can be very flattering! The tips to look for are: semi fitted, subtly distressed and no bells and whistles, just simple & classic overalls (as seen below)
Overalls are a super cute update to your Stampede wardrobe Calgary! Find them at: GUESS, Aritzia, and Top Shop!

Stampede Chic
I dressed Tara Slone, from Breakfast Television, in a Stampede Chic outfit. I also wore a similar outfit to one of the hottest Stampede concerts this year - Def Leppard who preformed at fort Calgary Wednesday night.

Doing Denim Right
Doing Denim Right
Stampede is in full effect and it is a blast!!!
It's funny, every time I'm going out with the girls to stampede, they always ask me what I'm wearing and what they should be wearing.
Dressing for stampede is easy if you keep it simple and the simplest fix to any western wardrobe is denim. Whether you double it up and wear it on the top and bottom (ensure that the colours are noticeably different) or you mix it with plaids or a rocker t-shirt you are sure to look ready to stomp your boots to the country tunes!

Stampede Styling with Smithbilt Hats
Stampede Styling with Smithbilt Hats
I had the pleasure of styling Brian Hanson, owner of Smithbilt Hats, in contemporary Stampede style with The CORE Shopping Centre. He is definitely a down home country guy and had no need for boots and absolutely had the cowboy hat covered! So my goal was to update his wardrobe with modern pieces that focus on fit.
BEFORE
AFTER
Jeans: Paige Denim at Holt Renfrew $267
Shirt: Banana Republic $78
Sport Coat: Hugo Boss from Harry Rosen $399
Bandana Pocket Square: Club Monaco $9
You look awesome Brian!

The Bandana Pocket Square
Want to dress up your office look for a post work Stampede party? The bandana pocket square is perfect. Most of you should have a bandana already but if not go to your local dollar store to pick of a few of these, give them a wash and boom - you are corporate Stampede ready!

Giddy Up
Do's and Do Not's for Stampede Style
Every year we see some tragic ensambles truckin' around the fairgrounds and tents. We are here to try and make that stop! Or at least tame it down a notch. Below are a two must have's for both women and men to use as a guideline and how to style them for an effortless chic look.
Giddy Up by phaedra-godchild featuring a lace dress
Womenswear:
Denim shirt
Do wear in a loose boyfriend fit
Do wear tucked into a cute skirt
Do wear tucked into your favourite pair of skinny jeans
Do roll up the sleeves twice
Do wear tied in knot at the front
Do accessorize with a statement necklace
Don't wear as an outerwear piece, invest in a denim jacket
Don't wear the exact same denim shade on the bottom
Don't wear a ridiculously tight one that the snaps or buttons are about to pop open
Don't wear it buttoned to the top button on the front and buttoned at the wrist (waaaay to serious for Stampede!)
Lace Dress
Do wear with a pair of cowboy boots
Do wear with a denim jacket over
Do wear belted at the waist
Do have fun with colour
Do wear a cuter version for day and a sexier version for night
Do accessories with fun earrings or necklace
Don't buy it too short
Don't buy a baby doll style if you are over 30
Don't layer a shirt underneath
Don't wear it with tights
Menswear:
Plaid Shirts
Do wear colourful plaids
Do pair with your favourite and well fitting jeans
Do wear sleeves rolled up twice
Do leave the top few buttons undone
Do leave untucked - unless you have a crazy cool belt to show off
Don't wear top to bottom plaid, YUCK
Don't tuck in so tight you can't lift your arms
Don't tie it in a knot at the front
Don't get it so tight fitting you look like you are on Jersey Shore
Denim
Do get a great fitting pair - get help from a sales associate or stylist its worth it!
Do get a pair of good butt jeans
Do wear with plaids
Do wear with cowboy boots
Do wear different colours of denim - black, grey, brown, light and classic blue
Do wear with denim as long as it's in a different shade - no Calgary Tuxedos please!
Do wear with a big buckle belt
Don't wear them tucked into your cowboy boots - EVER
Don't roll the bottoms
Don't get a skin tight pair so there is nothing left to the imagination - no skinny jeans
Don't wear True Religion - they are OUT
Happy Stampeding!!!
