Cowboys are sexy and cowgirls are fun, but we don't really live in the wild wild west anymore so decking ourselves out in full 'cowboy' gear may come across more costume-y and tacky than cute and trendy. But there's something classic about the Western-inspired trend with versatile denim, plaid patterns and suede accents that are wearable year after year and gives an air of cute, classic American charm when done in small doses. Shirt dresses, minis, short shorts and breezy tops get a wild west make-over, making you ready for stylish horse ride, or for a fashionable afternoon in the city. Whether you're in Texas or New York, you can find something Western-inspired that fits your personal tastes to incorporate into your wardrobe and make you a cowgirl casanova for the summer and following seasons. Ready to get a little Western and rowdy? Giddy up and click on the slideshow to see some of my favorite Western-inspired pieces!

If you're going to flaunt it, flaunt it right in a fun, eye-catching mini! Mini skirts are a girls best friend because they look equally appealing with a fitted tank or bloussant top and when paired with some heels or wedges, they can make legs look a mile long. Pair it with a cute pair of strappy sandals and show off your gams while maintaining a more casual look. A flirty, summer ready mini skirt is the perfect versatile piece that is so easy to dress up or down and translate easily from day to night with a simple change of shoes and accessories. The classic black, fitted mini skirt is still a great option, but step it up a notch with lighter fabrics, more flirty silhouettes and colorful, summer prints to give your ensemble a touch of personality. Dressier versions with accents like sequins, pleats and other trendy design details really help you make an entrance ... and you don't have to break the bank to do it either! Click on the slideshow for some mini skirts that work just as well for more fancy evening affairs as they do for a day at the beach- all at $100 or less!
