Trend Watch: Country Chic

Last night I went into Country Strong with no expectations.  I've never listened to country music nor have I understood the big fuss over Gwyneth Paltrow, but nevertheless I gave it a shot.  To sum up, I surprisingly loved the film - the plot was captivating from start to finish, the actors could actually sing, and the outfits, though deliberately tacky at times, represented country chic at its best. From suede to sequins to fringe, Southern style is going to take fashion by storm.
