Embrace Southern Charm with Our Bloom Board
Updated: Sep 7
There are some outfits that just feel like Red Barn & Bloom. Today’s Bloom Board is one of them. Imagine soft blue-and-white stripes, delicate white lace, warm brown leather, a classic straw hat, gold jewelry, and a beautiful feminine fragrance. It’s relaxed, comfortable, and a little romantic—but still polished enough to make you feel like you actually got dressed.
This is Southern style without trying too hard. And honestly? That’s our favorite kind.
🌾 The Foundation: Sweetgrass Stripe Ruffle Overalls
The star of today’s look is our Sweetgrass Stripe Ruffle Overalls. The blue-and-white stripe gives these overalls that vintage farmhouse-meets-coastal-Southern feel. The wide-leg silhouette and feminine ruffle hem keep them from feeling like ordinary overalls. They’re the kind of piece that does most of the styling work for you.
For today's Bloom Board, we paired them with a delicate white lace top underneath.
🤍 Add a Little Lace
A sheer or lace long-sleeve top is surprisingly versatile. It can completely change an outfit. Under overalls? Romantic and feminine. Under a blazer? Polished. With jeans? Easy date-night style. The PRETTYGARDEN Women's Lace Long Sleeve Top adds texture and softness underneath the structured stripe of the overalls without overwhelming the outfit.
The trick with an outfit like this is letting the lace peek through rather than completely covering it up. It gives the look that little “Oh, she just naturally dresses this well” effect. We love that.
🤎 The Brown Leather Moment
Now we're getting into the pieces that make the outfit feel elevated. The WHITE MOUNTAIN Behold Leather Clog brings in that warm brown tone that works beautifully with the blue stripes. Clogs are also one of those shoes that can make an outfit feel instantly more grounded and intentional. They're casual, but they don't look sloppy. Basically: comfortable without looking like you gave up.
👜 The Bag
For the bag, we chose The Sak Los Feliz Crossbody in a rich brown tone. This is where a simple outfit starts feeling really pulled together. The leather texture and warm color complement the clogs beautifully while giving the look a classic, everyday feel.
A good brown bag is one of those wardrobe investments that can work with an almost ridiculous number of outfits—denim, cream, white, olive, black, stripes, florals... You get the idea.
👒 Don't Skip the Hat
The Brixton Women's Blake Sun Hat is the finishing touch. Because sometimes the outfit needs a hat. And sometimes the hat is the outfit. This one gives the look that relaxed, countryside-meets-coastal feeling that we love so much at Red Barn & Bloom.
Pair it with loose waves, and you've officially entered “I just came from the farmer's market but somehow look fabulous” territory.
✨ Keep the Jewelry Simple
With stripes, lace, a statement hat, and a beautiful leather bag, you don't need a ton of jewelry. We kept it simple with the CHIC & ARTSY Love Knot Earrings. The gold tone adds warmth without competing with the outfit.
It's a good reminder that accessories don't always need to be dramatic. Sometimes one pretty pair of earrings is enough.
🌸 And Then There's the Fragrance
The final step? Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia. Fresh, feminine, and beautifully understated, it fits this outfit perfectly.
Because we believe your outfit should look good... and you should smell damn good too.
🤎 How We'd Wear This Beyond the Bloom Board
The beauty of this outfit is that the individual pieces don't have to stay together. Wear the Sweetgrass Stripe Ruffle Overalls with:
A simple white tee and sneakers
A fitted tank and sandals
A lightweight sweater and boots
A denim jacket and clogs
Wear the lace top with:
Wide-leg denim
A midi skirt
Cream trousers
Your favorite jeans
And that brown crossbody? Pretty much everywhere.
That's what makes a great wardrobe. You don't need 100 pieces—you need pieces that can actually work.
