The Bracelet has been a large part of our daily dose of jewelry for a long time now. They have been a status symbol, a reflection of our style and even a small glimpse into the person we are striving to become. 
Wearing them for decoration and status started thousands of years ago. We’ve come a long way since the first Native American women started decorating their arms with pieces of bone and shell. 
  
In today’s society, we are bombarded with choices, we can wake up in the morning and decide that today we are going to be a career girl by delicately draping on a classy bracelet, perfect for the office. Later, we get home, throw our shoes off, slip on our favorite jeans and t-shirt twinned with our Halona Heart Bracelet and become a sultry cowgirl by nightfall.  

What about the trend you're seeing on the streets? The stackable bracelet... 
Here is a style that allows us to recycle our old, much-loved bracelets of times gone by and pair them - or even multi-stack them - with new deliciously subtle, or delightfully extravagant bracelets of our future. It is inexpensive, organic and it can change from day to day, even hour to hour, depending on your mood or destination.

So how to get the right look for you? 
Well, that’s easy, start trying them on together! Start off with what you feel comfortable with, as your confidence grow’s with matching styles and themes so will the size of your layers. Have fun with it and make sure your style evolves from day to day. 

Wrap Bracelets are a great way to start off, they come in different sizes and colors so you can choose the perfect balance of bracelets for you. 

  
Try looking at West Coast Cowgirl for some design ideas. 
Pair a wrap with a beaded bracelet or friendship bracelet to give it that layered look. Choose different sizes, patterns, and colors, try using different materials and shapes. 
  
Most of all have fun with it and don’t forget to add a little you with every layer!

Western style jewelry is full of fabulous blue tones, especially shades of turquoise. Many pieces have the soft browns and reds of the desert, too. While these are wonderful shades to wear, sometimes we need to inject another color into our wardrobe. It can be a great way to chase away those winter blues, especially when you wear green.

Green is the color of spring, St. Patrick’s Day, and the month of March, as daffodil and crocus leaves pop up just before these colorful first blooms of the season. Spring is just around the corner, but you don’t need to wait to see the return of green; wear some green yourself, and you will feel vibrant and ready for a new season.

At West Coast Cowgirl, we have some incredible accessories and jewelry with splashes of green, including some of our newest arrivals. Charming and delicate headbands are a growing fashion trend. What comes around, goes around, and here is a perfect example. Our new headbands are a wonderful way to welcome in spring. Our Prisha Feathered Headband is reminiscent of spring fairs of old, and festivals of today, which are blooming everywhere as the days lengthen and warmer weather arrives. The peacock feathers will put a smile on anyone’s face just for the fun of it.

You will feel like the desert after a spring rain, fresh and alive with our new Samar Earrings. The green patina metalwork is a classic Western Style with its tribal motif. Set off with natural stone elements, these earrings look good with your hair up or down, and are sure to turn heads when you walk into the room.

As the days grow warmer, we begin to think of trips to the beach, which are not so far off. If you can’t get the beach yet, shift your attitude by dressing for warmer latitude, and donning our Western Spark Earrings. These seafoam green pieces bring beach memories alive with their soft shading. You can almost hear the ocean waves.

Bright spring greens and flower embellishments will add a spring to your step when you wear our Doulton bracelet. Various shades of green reflect the beauty of a garden; you can’t help but feel happy with this charming piece. This cheery bracelet is perfect for a day out in the sun, on a picnic, or at lunch with friends. Need something green to wear for St. Patrick’s Day? This is the perfect piece!

If you are ready to say goodbye to winter blues, get into a green spring mood with vibrant green Western Style accessories and jewelry. I invite you to check out our products at West Coast Cowgirl, where you can find a variety of jewelry at our website. Whether you are looking for a gift for that special someone or ready to treat yourself to something new, products are added regularly, so be sure to check back often.

You love your western style and are not afraid to show it off. Whether at work or out for some fun, you show off your cowgirl sense with a flair, and you do it well. But is it ok to wear a bolo style necklace, big, jangly bracelets or feathered earrings to a big corporate meeting? You could if you really want to of course, but people make first impressions in an instant, so if you have an important work meeting or event to attend, gearing your clothes and accessories towards an elegant, savvy style can help you show your professional side better. But this doesn’t mean you can show off your western style.

Anyone who works in an office environment knows the appeal of the ‘Power Suit’, thatone work ensemble which makes you appear with confidence and expertise, whatever it is you are doing. Jewelry adds to this overall impression. If you are facing a board meeting or meeting a potential new client, for example, the accessories you wear can make your attire complete, when you are dressed for success, it will follow. Silver is the classic metal of western style jewelry, wearing a piece such as our Simply Sensational Bracelet will not only show off your western sense, but also make for a commanding statement in the office, one that says confidence with its staking simplicity.

You can also show off your western sense of style in professional settings, and express a sense of sophistication which reflects an impression of qualified experience within the work place. The key is to wear pieces which enhance your suits and dresses. While mixing materials and colors can be fun, within a corporate setting, blending shades and similar designs will work better for showing off your professional side. Our Ventesca necklace is a great example of incorporating western style turquoise with gold toned chains, added a touch of elegance. Another example is our Summer Eclipse layered beaded necklaces (pictured above). These are striking conversation pieces which can set off a simple business dress or suit, and reflect your love of the West.

Compliment your western style fashion with a variety of pieces for the work place and for fun, with a full accessory wardrobe you will be ready to dress for success whatever the occasion.  I invite you to check out our products at West Coast Cowgirl, where you can find a variety of jewelry at our website.

Layering accessories is a growing trend in fashion. This is great news for anyone who has ever had a hard choice to make when wearing one necklace, which one do you choose?  Why not choose two or three and make a unique style statement? This idea has caught on in another way too. Layered necklaces give the look of multiple pieces with the convenience of one clasp. This makes for an ideal practicality, especially when it comes to chain necklaces which can tangle together.

Layered necklaces are also a wonderful way to show off your western style, with a variety of pendants and accents often included in these pieces; one layered necklace can speak volumes about who you are. These creations can range from s few simple chains with one pendant as a focal point, to big and bold designs with beads, stones and color to capture attention. One of our newest pieces, the Outlaw Necklace is a great example of a striking statement incorporating layers.

Another great appeal to layered necklaces is their versatility, they simply go with just about any outfit. You can shift from work to play, or an evening out with ease and convenience. Often a piece you wear to the office for a bit of whimsy while working, will set off strikingly when paired with a simple black dress for date night too. Our Madison Necklace (pictured above) will show off your neckline with class and beauty whether at the office or out on the town.

With the different lengths incorporated into layered necklaces, it is also easy to add in another piece such as a choker to enhance your style and mood. Our Ventesca Necklace is not only great for wearing over winter sweaters with its extra-long chains, the shorter chain adds a bit of sparkle with its tube centerpiece, while the feather and turquoise show off your western style. This design makes it easy to add in a choker for a completely new ensemble.

Whether you go for big and bold, or whimsical and delicate, or combine these forces together, the illusion of multiple chains in layered necklaces adds a flair of drama to your wardrobe.
