I used to watch ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ and not once did I encounter style as seen in the Box 125 Fall 2009 collection. Instead of bonnets and full skirts, fashion designer Sara Keiser has focused on the more rustic, native side of the Midwest Prairies.
Featuring fringe, fur and feathers, the Box 125 Fall 2009 collection brings great texture to autumn and can easily transition into spring and even summer. I’m not sure about you, but I’m definitely feeling a little romp in the hay.
