This thread is another spin-off of Turquoise Celebrities and Turquoise Artwork. Searching around the internet for whatever item I’m looking for, I often come across photos of turquoise jewelry being used in fashion advertisements. Of course, Ralph Lauren advertisements come to mind, but another example is the jewelry Double D Ranchwear selects to go with their clothing.
The other night, I was doing a little research on Hosteen Goodluck concho belts and stumbled upon this Instagram post. Personally, I think everything on this display - necklace, jacket, buttons, belt - is absolutely stunning. I want this outfit for my wife!
So I am a little different. I love all these looks, but if I wore them here I would look a bit costumey (is that a word?). One of my favorite ways to wear Native jewelry is with (for example) a black velvet T, faded jeans, and boots or ballet flats. So…this pic just totally does it for me.
I do love the hats, but not on me. I wear my cowboy boots, but tone them down. My dad used to wear pinstripe suits with his snake buckle and boots and looked pretty cool!
I have to have fairly flat boot heels since I damaged my feet in a sailing accident (long stupid story) - so I wear them with skinny jeans tucked in and different tops - I won’t be able to match the pink, but I don’t care, so makes it easier. I usually have a white or blue top (Turquoise, navy etc) and lots of jewelry.
Love those! I used to wear heels a lot, but now just occasionally. I think too many years of stuffing my feet in ice skates has given me problems.
@RedlandMaggie you can wear the pink boots with so many colors!
My 2 tone brown cowboy boots are fairly traditional, but I love them. I wore them last winter with tights, a brown pinstripe knee-length skirt, turtleneck, and leopard print cardigan (and turquoise of course). Works for northern IN.
I’d still like to get a good pair of plain black cowboy boots. I’ve got an old pair of black, white and red ones, but they aren’t what I call “for real;” they are 9 west. And they’re getting pretty beat up.
Being the shop goodwill junky that I am, I have found 3 pair of Lucchese in my size, and 1 pair on eBay as well. My black Lucchese’s are men’s (the ball of my foot is wide from many years of highland dancing) and are gorgeous at a fab price. You just need to know your measurements as sometimes they don’t list an actual size, I’ve lucked out (stars aligned) a couple of times with fingers crossed - and on a pair of Caboots, they fit like they were made for me
Those are some killer boots, Tara. Old Gringo does a good job of being creative and keeping things tasteful. We bought a pair for our daughter in Wyoming this summer. They were part of her college graduation gift. I was so proud of her for wanting Western boots.
