80's Purple Clearance Sale
80's Purple has a lot of incredible products. Often it's in that middle ground price range where you could look at a really cute dress and say "well... I could buy this but that means I might not be able to buy dinner for a couple days". Don't pick and choose. Look for the great deals and get what looks best for a price that you're comfortable with. Sacrifice is a word that shouldn't be in your wardrobe.

Adventure
Living in the mountains means that adventure is really just a short drive, or a hike away. There is so much natural beauty everywhere and it is always begging to be explored. The myth about nature is that you have to dress as in all of this technical clothing just to go on a short hike. Most of that clothing is really uninspired and unflattering. Yes if you're going on an all day hike or overnight excursion you should have technical clothing and purpose built footwear (and we will cover how to make that look great later on) but for a short hike you dont need to change out of what you would be wearing for the day.
The biggest piece of advice is to dress comfortably. Yes baggy sweatpants with coffee stains are comfy but they aren't flattering. So, dress comfortably but flatter yourself. You never know who you might be exploring with. Stretchy denim is a great material because it is really durable without sacrificing mobility and it makes you look great. Paired with an over length flared jacket for the cooler months you will still have mobility in your upper legs while continuing to accentuate your body. Accessories for these excursions are easy. You mainly just want to make sure that you have a nice bag to carry your essentials, like a camera to capture the landscape surrounding you.

You Have to Start Somewhere
We don't live in a city, and neither do most of you. We don't even really live all that close to a city, and we like it that way. This blog isn't going to suggest what to wear for a night out on 5th Avenue, South Beach or Hollywood. It will tell you how to turn heads when you walk into your small town coffee shop, or when you go out to dinner and drinks at your small town restaurants and bars. Most people in this country, in the world for that matter, don't live in cities and can't dress like they do. Yet, most fashion blogs and magazines act as if everyone does live in a city. We want to change that.
This is the blog to read if you want to know how to look incredible, stunning, your absolute best without spending more money than you make, or trying way too hard. In every post we will have great pictures of different local, small town girls, and sometimes guys, who like to look great, and be fashionable without breaking the bank. We will teach you how to make your own copies of designer clothing without paying designer prices and where to go to buy all of the hottest clothing and accessories.
Stay tuned for more. Thanks so much.
