t’s the most wonderful time of the year! Viva Las NFR and the ten greatest days of rodeo and western fashion that we all look forward to annually. The planning and outfit preparation has been in the works for months for many of us, and the anticipation of finally getting to pack bags is so real. As our society has pivoted the past two years during the pandemic, so has fashion. I think now more than ever we gals love playing “dress up” and showing off our individual style, personality and moods which may change by the moment and definitely over the course of ten rounds. Personally, after missing last year’s event I want to wear everything in my closet ranging from stilettos to fringe. I am predicting at the 2021 finals we will see a mix of sleek, contemporary high fashion styles and traditional all out retro and western wear glam. Indeed, many fashionistas will showcase both trends in one outfit, after all why not have the best of both worlds? With so much to see and do over the course of a week plus, there will many wardrobe changes to say the least. Here is a little style inspo for all things NFR:
