2. Fierce Fringe: Call Us crazy, but this fringe bucket bag looks like it came from a pricey designer. If fringe isn’t your go-to, the chic bag also comes in sleek solids like green and orange.
3. Simple and Chic: Enhance your basics with this sweet but sophisticated lettuce-edge top. With a little bit of frill and fun, it brings a youthful energy to every woman’s closet.
4. Ruffles Galore: This long-sleeve ruffle blouse brings the Western vibes without venturing into costume territory. Shoppers say the “super cute” blue floral top looks great with a pair of jeans.
5. Slimming Fit: A vibrant fit-and-flare prairie dress will carry any 40-something straight into fall without a fuss. Designed with a ruched, cinched waist, the demure dress brilliantly slims the midsection.
Relaxed, oversized bags have their time and place, but if there’s one thing we’ve noticed from A-listers, it’s that said time is not now.

6. Novelty Jeans: Aside from being a slimming pair of baggy jeans, this high-waisted pick also features chic embroidery details at the hem. One reviewer said they’re the “best jeans [they’ve] ever purchased.”
7. Designer Rival: Who knew Old Navy sold such gorgeous mid-calf riding boots? The equestrian footwear style looks far more expensive than it is. The boots also pair well with everything from jeans to sweater dresses.
8. Luxe Accessory: You don’t need to shop at a pricey designer brand to grab your next skinny leather belt. This quiet-luxury option features a durable leather-like material and stunning gold hardware.
9. Poised Prairie: This ruffle-collar maxi dress has that perfect marriage of boho and Western style. Even better: it comes in petite, regular and tall sizes for up to 4X.

14. Denim Demure: This long-sleeve denim shirtdress is all we need to carry Us into a fashionable fall. Inspired by menswear, the loose silhouette would look stunning with Chelsea boots.
