Cowgirl Style

Cowgirl clothing isn't fashion at all: it's style.  It just is.  When a cowgirl dresses, it is for a purpose first; dressing to do a job efficiently.  Cowgirls are easy going, quiet, fierce and strong, and their style is comfortable and healthy.  Their jeans might be snug, but they should never be too tight to not be able to hop on the back of a horse.  If their hair gets snarled during riding, then they will put their hair in pigtails to prevent tangling, no matter what age.  If they're Florida Cracker Cowgirls, yes they'll wear a hat, but they will also have sunscreen on their arms and chest to keep their skin from becoming leathery.  If they haven't taken a shower and are covered in dust, it's okay.  Sometimes they like a little "bling" on their horses and themselves, and sometimes they don't.  That's the thing about cowgirls; sometimes, as with mares, you never know what kinda day it's gonna be, or what you're gonna get...
