October 11, 2022 When Western Style Meets Fall

Western style grows in popularity in the fall when seasonal activities like harvest festivals and pumpkin patch visits hit our calendars.

While the pieces involved in western style are casual, there’s something distinct about the look that makes it a classic. That’s we included the style in our seasonal selling guide for this reason.

And we don’t encourage a head-to-toe western look. Instead, bring just a few key pieces into your wardrobe to achieve this style. In fact, here are 7 western style pieces we’re looking for this fall, especially when we’re out shopping secondhand.

A Denim Shirt

We like a dark denim. For added flair, look for western-style pockets.

Fringe Details

Just a touch on your jacket or handbag gives a nod to the style.

Vintage Plaid

There’s something about the soft, faded colors of a vintage plaid that gives off western vibes.

Western Accessories

Sometimes achieving the look is as simple as a western belt buckle or cowboy boots.

October 4, 2022 Trending: This Floral Fashion Style

Floral fashion pieces feel like they’re always trending, but this fall season has a particular floral print standing out from the rest. It’s the homestead floral print, and its prints are inspired by the pretty and delicate ones you find on tea towels or linens.

You’ll know the print when you see it because it’s dainty and has a prairie feel. It’s usually in earthy tones too. We’ve included this special floral under the “homestead chic” style listed in our most recent seasonal selling guide.

This floral fashion print is a departure from bigger and bolder ones we’ve seen in recent years. Keep an eye out for them when shopping at any of our store locations, and keep scrolling to see a few examples of this floral fashion print.

The print looks perfect on dresses, skirts, blouses, and aprons. You’ll usually find it in light cotton fabric, and it matches as well with denim as a soft neutral cardigan.

If you’ve incorporated homestead chic into your fall wardrobe, we want to see how you’re styling it! Tag us on Instagram @crossroadstrading, and you might find your look on our brand feed.
