Do Country Like Jess

Nobody does country chic like Ms. Jessica Simpson. This blonde bombshell is no stranger when it comes to country style – due to her Texas roots. With her country album on the way, Jessica takes the cover of Elle in true country fashion.
During the cover shoot Jessica gives life to a variety of countryside inspired looks. In her cover photo she wears a plaid cashmere shirt from Ralph Lauren Collection, jeans from Lauren Jeans Co. by Ralph Lauren, and an awesome rodeo belt buckle from Vicki Turbeville/Southwestern Jewelry.
On the countryside set Jessica sports a Dolce & Gabanna cotton shirt, $1,050, Lucky Brand jean, $110, hot studded leather Gucci boots, $1,875, and a Nubuck hat Minnetonka, $56.

Jessica wears a beautiful silk georgette gown by Ralph Lauren Collection, $4,298, and western-styled vintage boots from Early Halloween, NYC. An antique Navajo concha belt by Southwestern Jewelry and rhodium-plated silver bangles with semiprecious stones by Matthew Campbell Laurenza gives a sense of authenticity to her overall country inspired look.

Jessica looks dazzling in this embroidered mousseline dress. Steal Jessica’s look from any Chloe’ Boutique nationwide. Want her jewelry too? The stunning turquoise rings come from David Yurman and most of her bracelets from Tiffany & Co.

Country Chic is one sizzling, yet simple, trend that has come to stay this fall 2008 season. Lucky for Jessica, this look is one she knows and does extremely well. Equally lucky for us, this trend is one hot easy to do. Plaid, fringe, and boots are popping up everywhere.
