Fab Finding Follow-Up: Road Trip, New Mex

How fun would a road trip across New Mexico be?
Forever 21 at ShopStyle

How fun would a road trip across New Mexico be? I imagine I'd admire sunsets and warm desert all along the way. And the heat would allow me to wear all sorts of summery pieces. How would you dress me for said road trip? I asked for something Navajo-inspired but modern. Did you deliver? You sure did.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Beaded Bangle ($6) because I wanted to be bold and colorful.

Look #1, created by fashionista0914, is bold but understated. Love the fringe sandals.

Trend Alert: Nuevo Navajo

It's cyclical. Especially for me.
Joie at ShopStyle

It's cyclical. Especially for me. I think the fact that I re-obsess with it every few years means it's a part of my style DNA. With today's modern cuts and fresh details and yesteryears beads and colors, Navajo-esque style feels new again, aka nuevo Navajo. It doesn't take a road trip to New Mexico for me to whip out my beaded earrings and turquoise belt, but a big sky always inspires . . .

Trend Alert: Navajo Beads

One Halloween I was Red Mountain Warrior (yes, totally made up).

One Halloween I was Red Mountain Warrior (yes, totally made up). I had always wanted to do a Native American costume because of my love for Navajo beads. The costume was killer and I whipped out all my rainbow beaded baubles. Looks like I can bring them out again and maybe add to my collection with these Free People Kingston Bangles ($28) or graduate to a fun handbag. All this also reminds me of Mexico . . . sigh.
