WHAT TO WEAR: SXSW- STYLE BY SOUTHWEST

Known as the live music capital of the world- Austin, Texas hosts the austintatiously awesome annual festival known as South by Southwest every March. With 3 known segments of film, interactive & the highly attended and anticipated music movement- followers from all over fall into the streets of the city boldly bringing in their own native nouveau style while adapting to the casually comfortable and cute couture culture that is allure of Austin. So in true DeVeReaux style I had to provide my opinion of what options to wear while rocking out at SXSW.

Footwear- FLATS, BOOTIES & SANDALS
Because its Texas and the weather is more bi-polar than "Being Bobby Brown"- I find it smart to pack all three pairs of footwear in your car. Flats are practically cute and can petitely fit into your purse- they are the quintessential quickwear irregardless of the weather.

Booties because they can quickly bring beauty to a beastly look especially if you're going from a daytime party to a night-time soiree.

And lastly sandals because the sun is known to make a sudden cameo appearance and can turn any simply cute tee and shorts into a sassy lil number & even if it becomes humid you will still be a hottie

Outerwear- DENIM OR LEATHER JACKET & COLORED BLAZER
Everyone knows that although Austin is casual & there is a networking opportunity literally at every corner of the city during SXSW. The denim jacket is quick, casual and comfortable while keeping you warm just in case that unexpected breeze blows our way or it tries to rain on your SXSW parade.  There's also the opposite end of the South By Spectrum and that's the hard look of being lethal in leather

A cute and colored blazer in a bold color can quickly transition from a day of conferences at the Convention Center to dinner at the luxe La Condesa which can move you not only in the direction of a music career but a man as well ;)

Underneath- DARK DENIM RELAXED or SKINNY JEANS/ TANK TOP & TANK DRESS
This two items should be a staple because they transition extremely well from day to night. Dark denim irregardless of style is flattering to every figure and when worn with a simple tank top or tank dress placed under the aforementioned blazer or jacket- the look all layered together might land you a lead guitarist ;)

Holding it all together- THE HANDBAG- is the muse of the look and the style is definitely a messenger bag. SXSW consists of becoming a Texas tumbleweed meaning you & your friends will create an itinerary that yuo have every intention of following but as soon as you hit the streets- the initial idea will the get the f*** you like Ceelo Green- so you need a bag that pounces along with you while remaining practically placed by your side at all times and leaves your hands free for all the random high fives, hugs and handshakes that the feeling of SXSW brings

So whether you have a wristband or are like me banking on breaking down the back door of the various venues- make sure you always do so with style- whether simplistic or sassy enjoy your SXSW- I'm surely for certain I will

As Always Fashionably Yours.
