Contrasting Layers

One of the styles I noticed at the fair, both this year and last, is that of layers of clothing of contrasting colors, weights, textures, prints, styles, etc.  For example, I liked how this woman put a men's-style adventure hat and safari-ish coat over a classic denim jacket...and paired these with the current trend of black leggings worn on their own, as pants.  Oh, and then there's a bandana at her waist, for no apparent reason (other than coolness!).

Love the lace-up, knee-high boots, too.  Vintage (or vintage-looking), well-worn, knee-high, gray or brown boots were also in fine form all over the fair grounds today. Fashionable and practical: it's really hard to walk around the muddy fields in heels or ballet flats.
