We couldn’t not show you an up close, detail shot of the prettiest, classiest blouse! Buttons and eyelet, she also pairs really well with our new wild rags! We are big on versatile pieces, so throw this on with jeans, black denim or a vintage skirt.
Squash Blossom She’s classy, she’s versatile and she’s gorgeous. The patina on this beauty is just stunning. A pop of turquoise and a whole lotta silver. Something I can get on board with!
COWGIRL
OXRIDGE Winter Sweater dress vibes are in full swing! A tan color that looks great on everyone, and a soft material that will keep you cozy while you dress up in the {Oxridge Sweater Dress}.
We are excited to work with and introduce you to our newest brand we are carrying, Fringe Scarves. After personally wearing their rags for years, I have grown to love the patterns, colors and unique prints the company creates.
OUT OUR HORSE GIRL DREAMS Living out our horse girl dreams, just one horse blazer at a time. Class it up with a vintage Squash Blossom necklace.
{The Runnin’ Wild Blazer}
It’s all about those vintage details for us! Mixing our boutique finds with our vintage finds, is one thing you will always see at Blush Out West. With the subtle colors in this fit, including the muted browns in the skirt and a white blouse, the pop of color in the horse blazer is just what this outfit needed.

WESTERN ELEGANCE

{The Cattle Creek Blazer} A feminine fit and lapel, polished off with buttons and faux side pockets. Classy!
