Winter Style Guide

WINTER STYLE GUIDE

WITH REAGAN KEMPTON

Hi amigos! I’m Reagan- the gal with a few too many creatures to tend to, an overflowing closet and a wild passion for western fashion. I grew up in the cactus covered deserts of Arizona on a small family farm that raised livestock for mine and my sibling’s county fair projects. I quickly fell in love with that portion of the industry and am currently growing my show goat operation, day by day. My mother used to tell me you can never be over-dressed. So, no matter if I am in the goat barn, checking cattle or at an event I enjoy ‘getting all dolled up.’ Hard work has never looked better!! I truly enjoy sharing my love for the western lifestyle & fashion world and I am excited to share a small portion of what I think you’ll see most in these upcoming winter months and at the 2018 National Finals Rodeo!! Follow along with my daily adventures and style tips on Instagram @ranchinreags.

TOP IT OFF:

Although men on horseback have been wearing broad brimmed hats for many years, hats in the western fashion industry have taken an entirely new shape- literally! Hats are a great way to ‘top off’ an outfit and are easily personalized by adding vintage turquoise pins, unexpected hat bands and unique patches! One of my very favorite hat makers is located in the great state of Arizona on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Apache Hat Co. creates one of a kind pieces for each customer and truly makes dreams come to life, the pieces created by Apache Hat Co. bring a sense of classic old west with a modern flair. The perfect complement to a wild western gal’s closet! Check them out on Instagram and Facebook @apachehatco.

THE POWER OF PENDLETON:

Stay extra cozy and bundled up this winter season in all things Pendleton! Pendleton Woolen Mills is a staple in any western woman’s closet, the iconic American textile company out of Oregon is known for its great blankets and woolen clothing. Vintage or new, Pendleton is a great way to add a snug, comfortable and warm piece to your outfit while still managing to be extremely polished! Vintage Pendleton doesn’t have to be found digging through thrift shops and searching for hours online. Instead, check out Rice and Beans Boutique for a carefully curated collection of vintage Pendleton pieces (and more)! Check them out on Instagram @rice_and_beans_boutique and on Facebook at Rice and Beans Baker.

BELL BOTTOM BABY:

The 1970’s called- AND WE ANSWERED! Move over blue jean baby, bell bottoms are back and better than ever- with incredible patterns, a variety of different washes, frays & rips and detailing these trending pants have a style for each one of us! However, if a full bell bottom pant is a little too much for you, I have an option- trousers. Trouser jeans are typically a darker wash, have a wide/straight leg and have the classic wide cuff at the bottom with the simple pockets on the back. Both bell bottoms and trouser jeans are incredibly sliming for each body type and instantly can make you look taller if paired with the correct pieces (can I get an Amen?) Find a few of my favorite bell bottoms and trousers online and in-store at Casa de Bling in Casa Grande, Arizona. Check them out on Instagram and Facebook @casadebling.
