SXSW/Spring Break Outfit Ideas!

As March approaches we’re starting to get excited about both the South by Southwest music festival, here in Austin and spring break! These two occasions call for fun, free spirited clothing that is stylish and without being too heavy or fussy. Luckily, we’ve picked some looks for you to save you some time!

Here at Longhorn Fashions, we can’t get enough of rompers; they’re perfect for throwing on quickly over a bathing suit or layered with a cute bralette. One of our favorites, the Mint Romper, is perfect for SXSW when paired with our Beige Floppy hat and cute leather booties. The open back detailing and lightweight silk make this romper lightweight and breezy; ideal for a day spent outside in the hot Texas heat!

If bright florals are more of your style, this open back sundress is an adorable music festival look! The bright colors in this shift are perfect for the hippie-chic look that is always popular at music festivals, and the open back makes this dress light and flirty. Paired with booties or sandals and a flower crown or floppy hat and you’re good to go! For double duty, throw this dress on over your bathing suit as you go to the beach this spring break.

Perfect for this bohemian babe, this double-strapped dress is effortlessly chic and ideal for South by Southwest. The lightweight, gauzy fabric will keep you cool all day long, while maintaining your laidback vibe. Paired with sandals or cowboy boots, this look is feminine and delicate while remaining stylish and flattering. To mimic the double-straps, we recommend finishing the look with two different length dainty necklaces.

Are you a local Austinite that is proud to show off your hometown roots? If so, this next look is for you! Our comfy “Local” shirt paired with these fun tie-dye shorts are a perfect combination. Paired with our Black floppy hat and sandals, this look is chicly monochromatic and playful.

Combine a lightweight tank with brightly colored, tribal print shorts, and you’ve got one of our favorite festival looks. This whitecutout tank is perfect for warmer weather as it is lightweight and airy through its paneling. Paired with printed shorts, this look is youthful and chic while remaining comfortable and effortless. Pair this look with a long pendant necklace and bright coral purse for a winning combination!

Perfect for SXSW and spring break double duty, this silkymaxi dress is great for staying cool and while looking hot! This dress is ideal for a day at Zilker Park listening to music when paired with a floppy hat and booties; and looks great over a bathing suit or at dinner during spring break. The bright colors in this dress make it perfect for your tropical vacation, and the cut of this dress is universally flattering. Regardless how you style this piece, you’re sure to feel comfortable and stylish all day long.

Naturally Accessorized

Things we love at Longhorn Fashions: jewelry and fashion. We also love things like a nice beach day, mimosas, and puppies, but that’s topic for another day! Today’s a jewelry day! 

The change in the seasons has us craving jewelry that is earthy and unique! We’re especially loving goldstones, brushed metal, drusy, and agate. These pieces add a naturally beautiful touch of color and sparkle to our wardrobes in a timeless and sophisticated way.

Our favorite way to wear the Sliced Agate jewelry is with bohemian inspired blouses and dresses; the psychedelic patterning perfectly compliments the hippie-chic vibe! With the vibrant burnt orange tones, they perfectly accent a white or light colored garment! 

These necklaces are also perfect for layering since they're so long and relatively simple!

These bold agate bracelets make for the perfect rustic yet chic arm party! The metal is industrial yet polished and the neutral colors in the stone will match your other silver, gold, or leather bracelets! 

These necklaces are dainty yet elegant, making them a must-have in our wardrobe! They're so unique and interesting, bringing attention up towards your face and neckline, which is always a good thing! They can be worn with a simple white t-shirt or with a fancy black dress. Plus, the outside is lined with gold plating, adding a little bit of elegance to them! 

For the outfit that needs a statement ring, this sliced agate piece is ideal! It is bohemian chic with a twist of golden luxury! We love how it looks with a burnt orange dress on game day! 

Our drusy jewelry is perfect for the gal that likes a little extra sparkle in her outfit! Our small studs add a subtle amount of glitter that draws attention to the face, while our large pendants create a beautiful statement !

Our white beaded drusy necklace is the perfect combination of sweet and sparkly! The white beads resemble pearls in their elegance and the clasp is reminiscent of a locket! This necklace looks beautiful with white, burnt orange, or black dresses or tops!

Long drusy pendants are the perfect glittery cousin of the sliced agate necklaces; they go with any free-spirited outfit with the addition of a little city skyline shine!

Our goldstone necklaces are quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to add a little burnt orange into our outfits. Whether we're layering the long necklaces with shorter gems or pairing the dainty beaded piece with a plain white t-shirt, we can't get enough of goldstone!

Nothing says rustic like brushed metal. Whether you prefer silver, gold, or bronze these tiny Texas studs are a darling way to show your state pride daily! 

We're always looking for new ways to accessorize our favorite outfits with a Texas or burnt orange twist. Natural stones and brushed metal add the perfect color and feel, don't you agree?!
