Creating Fits: Southwestern-Inspired Jewelry

By: LL
One hot fashion trend you might have noticed for Fall 2011 is what is called "Navajo-Inspired" or "Southwestern-Inspired" prints and accessories. (Please note: after the recent Urban Outfitters debacle, I will refer to the trend as the latter of the two). This fashion trend includes signature "native" prints and color combinations for anything from maxi dresses to bags to socks to shoes (as seen here). And much to my childhood memories' delight, Minnetonka Moccasins are back in style (more on that later).

I was inspired by this fashion trend for the fall and put together a few different "southwestern" pieces, playing off the turqouise, browns, and corals that are common in traditional Southwestern United States jewelry.
