Desert Dust

By KatBondStyle

Reminiscing my way through kitschy Wild West wardrobe.

My favorite Western item is probably a fringe jacket. You simply can’t go wrong with fringe! Linking several for you!

This set is so epic - the perfect blend of retro Western style and modern wearability. I’m obsessed with the colors and the fit of this look. The quality is fantastic and makes it feel elevated enough to wear as a full set or mix and match as separates.

Desert Dust is my current capsule series and is my colorful, playful spin on the Wild West - mixing heritage details, bold hues, and a touch of preppy fun to celebrate both nostalgia and modern Western flair.

I know I always say that the looks in these capsules are truly brought together by the accessories, but that has never been more true than throughout Desert Dust.
Many of these outfits would still be fun and nice to wear and like something I would reach for again and again, but the vibes would simply not be there without these amazing hats and bags in particular. Then to top it off every piece of jewelry makes me smile and truly completed these looks.

Look 11 - Desert Dust 🌵 
A curated capsule series 

This dress has made appearances in a few of my capsules now, and it continues to surprise me with just how versatile it is. At first glance, it feels like such a statement piece but I’ve been able to style it so many different ways (and have even more ideas up my sleeve 👀). It’s the perfect reminder that accessories truly make the outfit.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the difference between wearing and styling. Some people interpret styling as manipulating or changing a piece, but to me, it’s about how you use the accessories - the bag, the shoes, the hat, the jewelry - to shape the story your outfit tells. My background in costume design taught me that it’s those little details that give meaning, turning a great garment into a full expression of self.

The Desert Dust capsule has been my playful, colorful take on Western style - blending heritage details, bold hues, and preppy fun. Each of my capsules is a themed mini-collection that explores a different world of style through two weeks worth of looks.

✨ Follow along to join the fun - the next capsule starts tomorrow!

I am usually not a huge fan of brown but it is everywhere this season and I am actually really digging it! I particularly love it when paired with other rich colors so that it feels deep, expensive and mysterious!

Look 10 - Desert Dust 🌵 

You’ve definitely seen this dress before - it’s been one of my go-to pieces all summer, and it’s just so good! I’m carrying it into fall by layering a jacket over the top for that perfect transitional flexibility. These earrings have been another favorite all season, and they pair so well with this look - proof that bright, colorful accessories can totally work beyond summer! 🍂💖

Look 9 - Desert Dust
A curated style series

I wore this one last weekend for a little karaoke night out (one of our only outings together since Little One arrived). This weekend we are back to staying inside as a family. Haha 
This is technically a summertime dress, but I layered a jacket over it to make it feel more fall-ready (even if the weather can’t decide what season it is lately ☀️ ☁️ ). I’ve been getting so much mileage out of my warm-weather pieces this way.

The Desert Dust capsule is my playful take on Western style - mixing heritage details, bold color, and a preppy sensibility. Each capsule I share is a themed mini-collection that explores a different mood, season, or story through fashion.

This one was so fun to wear - the matching coat and jeans make such a statement, and I love how colorful and fun it feels. The bag, earrings, and ring are actually all pieces that I wore during my wedding, so it’s always such a treat to bring them out for an everyday look. 

The Desert Dust capsule is my playful, colorful take on Western style - mixing heritage details, bold hues, and a touch of preppy fun to celebrate the Wild West and its influence on my own style.

Ariat is a a great brand to check out for boots (and for clothing) because they have a really good mix of fun fashion items and more practical items as well. I assume if you’re here hanging out with me, you probably like the statement stuff but if you want something that’s a bit more understated or classic that definitely exists under their brand as well so if you want to go with something a bit less flashy but high-quality they are a great place to check.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush
Old gringo is the most expensive brand on average that I am sharing with you today, but I genuinely think that they’re worth it. I also understand why they are more expensive than the others that I’m sharing - the techniques used and the detailing do tend to be more intricate and extreme than the cheaper items. If you’re looking for a one and done boot and want something really really unique it could definitely be worth it to go for them, but I view this as more of an aspirational brand and something that you look into after you decide what types of cowboy boots you actually like so that you can ensure that you’re getting some thing you’ll actually get a lot of use out of and that will fit you the way that you want it to. This brand can be found secondhand as well and is a great pick up because they hold up very well. 
Also, if you’ve been following along, you know that I have several clothing and accessory pieces from Double D Ranchwear - and this is the boot maker that creates their boots as well. 
 

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip
Dingo is the boot brand from which I own the most boots because their collections just tend to be so creative and fun and full of unique statement pieces. Plus for a product that fits quite well immediately and is going to hold up nicely over time it’s a great price. Sure there are other options out there that are cheaper, but they are lower and quality as well on the whole. I personally would not buy the really cheap ones and would absolutely go for something like these instead - especially because these will retain some resale value since they’re really fun and unique and they’re going to last more than just a few seasons.

Look 1 - Desert Dust 🌵 
A curated capsule series

Kicking off my new series: Desert Dust 🌵✨

This one feels especially close to home - it plays with the imagery of classic Western movies while nodding to my own roots in the West. My pioneering ancestors left behind stories, wardrobes, and decor that shaped the way I think about style, and I wanted to reimagine those textures and details through a playful, modern lens. We start with a dramatic version of the aesthetic as I know it, and might get wilder as the series goes on. 👀 

Desert Dust is my take on the Wild West - mixed with bold color, a touch of preppy polish, and a lot of fun.

Lane boots are gorgeous and a really fun feminine option. They are soft and playful while also being powerful and traditionally Western.

Look 7 - Desert Dust 🌵 
A curated style series

You might recognize this dress from one of my Main Street Muse outfits - but this time, I’ve styled it for an adventure in the Wild West! ✨ 🌵 The bright colors and psychedelic motif feel right at home here; to me, they capture that eclectic mix of influences that have defined Denver throughout time: This look is inspired by the collision of rock ’n’ roll with classic Western style and these motifs’ impact on my own personal style.

You can shop these exact pieces and see all the details over on my LTK! ✨

The Desert Dust capsule is my playful take on the Wild West—mixing heritage details, vibrant color, and my own preppy vibes. Each capsule I create is a curated mini-collection built around a theme, letting me explore new ways to restyle favorites and celebrate timeless pieces through fresh lenses.

While taking some of the photos for the series, I was in an area where lots of families were getting their family portraits done, I assume for holiday cards, and every single one of them was wearing beige. Just entire families wearing pretty much only beige. Maybe a little bit of Grayish green, but those were literally the only colors represented until I arrived.  It was so hilarious to me because we obviously wanted very different things from our photo sessions! Haha

I’ve always loved fringe because it can take on so many moods - you can style it to feel Western, retro, glam, or even preppy depending on the details. This one hits that perfect balance of fun and sophistication.

I actually rented it through Nuuly, and it’s also available in black if you want a little more drama. I’ll leave a link so you can get $30 off your first month if you’d like to give it a try!

Look 4 - Desert Dust 🌵 
A curated style series

This one’s an outfit repeat -and one of your favorites from last year - so of course I had to bring it back! The top is a thrifted vintage Bob Mackie (such a fun find!), and I’ve linked a couple available online. It also came in other colors and there are still some floating around online. The skirt is actually from Amazon. I rarely shop there, but I had a gift card and couldn’t find a fringe skirt in this color anywhere else. Now there are more options out there, so I’ll link a few, but this one’s a super fun + affordable way to dip a toe into fringe. It’s really comfy too!

My Desert Dust capsule is all about reimagining Western heritage through my lens - playful, colorful, and preppy! It draws inspiration from vintage Western classics and my own family history in the West. Each capsule I create is a curated mini-collection of outfits built around a theme.

Throwback Thursday! 
Desert Dust Edition 🌵 

Fringe, embroidery, and bold color inspired some of my favorite Western-inspired looks from the past. While I’m all about outfit repeating, I also love seeing how versatile pieces can be. Many of the items in this roundup reappear throughout the Desert Dust capsule styled in new ways, but I still adore how I wore them here too.

For anyone new here, my capsules are curated mini-collections that explore a theme across multiple outfits. Desert Dust is my playful take on the Wild West - mixing classic Western motifs with vibrant color, preppy polish, and fun.

✨ Stay tuned: a brand-new Desert Dust outfit drops tomorrow!

Retro, floral and fabulous.

I find most of the styles to run a bit small. I can wear my usual size but it runs tighter than from other brands that I wear frequently. This is common for me and boutique brands - they just run a bit shorter and tighter - so if you are tall (like me!) or if you have a larger bust or broad shoulders you may want to size up in these.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100
This look is so good we have to check it out again this time with details about how I chose to style it. As always, everything that I can link to is linked on LTK. Anything that can’t be linked over there is always still detailed for you so that you can find it elsewhere or I will link similar items. 
If you aren’t already over on LTK, I think you definitely should be - now that so many items are online only. It’s really helpful to hear from people who are familiar with the brands and items.
