Themed Post - Calgary Stampede

Hiya! 
This is a new post. I'm giving it a try. If I get inspired/get an idea and its based off something like a festival or t.v. show/movie I'll make it a themed post. 
Anyways, its a bit late but I've been aching to do a post inspired by the Calgary Stampede. If you don't know what that is I'll give you a little information. 
The Calgary Stampede is the greatest outdoor show on Earth (at least thats what they claim it to be). Its an excuse lots of companies use to have parties with live/loud music and alcohol. It runs for about ten days, and the grounds are usually packed with people of all ages. Families might go out for the shows like SuperDogs or the live Dora shows (for example). Most of us all love the rides covering the grounds, and the food stands promoting anything from chips-on-a-stick, to deep fried snickers. The Stampede has nightly concerts featuring Canadian bands and artists, and also has a section dedicated to the Native Indians, who were the first inhabitants of Canada. 

Sadly I don't have any pictures of myself or Alicia when either one of us went to the Stampede, but I'm sure we can do without.

Stampede Party 

For a Stampede Party, wear a light, fun, and flirty dress to keep a cool when its hot out. Slip on a pair of cowboy boots, a staple for the Stampede. Accessorize with cute black feather earrings, a chic fringed leather cross-body bag to hold all the necessities, and gold rings like a midi and a regular to layer up. Leave your hair in soft waves and braid the bangs so they're out of your face and you can have a good time. And for fun get a henna, either on your hand or possibly your back. 


On The Grounds

Wear this outfit, or something similar, for walking around on the grounds, going on rides, and/or eating. A pair of black shorts matched with a bright tank will look fresh and festive. You can either wear the plaid shirt overtop of the tank if it gets cooler or starts to rain, or you can tie the shirt around your waist to add some flair. On your feet, wear good walking shoes that will stay securely on your feet, 'cause we don't want them to fall off while you're on a ride. A pair of sandals will do nicely. Put all your belongings into a cross body bag or a cute backpack. Accessorize with a pair of fun earrings, like these ice cream cone ones, and maybe an anklet. 


Stampede Concert 

I can imagine wearing this super cute pair of overalls to an outdoor concert. They're a light denim with several pockets and a drawstring. Put a striped, short sleeved crop top underneath so you're not revealing too much skin. Wear red platform sneakers for a bright pop and a bit of height to look over taller people. A small canvas bag will be light and able to hold the necessities. A chunky cross necklace and deep 'V' gold earrings add a bit of sparkle to the outfit. 

I hope you like this post. Feel free to use these outfits for other uses, like festivals, parties, or maybe daily wear. Alicia and I both hope our posts inspire you, make your creativity run wild, and get you interested in fashion.
