CCMF 2022: Country Concert Outfit Roundup

Giddy on up gals because country girl summer is here, hehe! I know y’all love country concerts just as much as we do, and I love sharing all of the glamorous boots, hats, and outfits with y’all. CCMF (Carolina Country Music Fest) is always one of our favorite weeks of the year here in Myrtle Beach. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it! It’s a great way to kick off summer at the beach and see SO many amazing country artists all in one place! This year, most days had a theme to coordinate your outfit with, and I was not gonna pass up that opportunity 🤩! I’ve rounded up all of my looks from this year’s festival below, some of which just might be my all-time favorites! Scroll through to see each night’s theme and full outfit details!

Night 1 🎸🎶

The opening night was Chase Rice with Chris Lane…and what a good time it was! I designed these boots Twenty Two Ideas a while back and was SO excited to finally be able to wear them for a concert. They matched this darling embroidered cutout dress perfectly! Y’all know I had to complete the look with a Vintage Boho bag!

Night 2 – Denim & Diamonds 💎✨

Having my own “Carrie Underwood” moment with this fabulous theme on Friday night. Loved jamming to Riley Green and Luke Bryan, but I may have been most excited that my “vision” for this look came to life perfectly–sparkling from head to toe! I mean what is there not to love?! Rhinestone Cowgirl Hats absolutely crushed what I wanted for this hat to go along with the skirt. If you’re dying for your own, there are few of the “Rife Hats” left that look just like this one! I’ve had the light pink metallic boots for a few months now, but when these fuchsia beauties launched, I just couldn’t resist! They are still in stock (and also available in red and gold), but hurry–they are going fast.

Night 3 – Wild West 🤠🐴

Can I hear a little commotion for the dress? Now let’s hear it for the back of the dress, hehe! Queen of Sparkles did not disappoint with this little fringe number that I paired with a western style bow. AND THESE BOOTS…they deserve their own moment, because just WOW! These might be making it into my all time favorite cowgirl boots…also available in pink and black colors at Whiskey Darling! Keith Urban was so much fun this night, and as a fashion blogger, I have to give him bonus points for wearing his red bottoms on stage 😆

Night 4 – America 🇺🇸 🌟

This might be my favorite look of all, hehe! Another Queen of Sparkles dress and Rhinestone Cowgirl hat again , with my all-time favorite Miron Crosby “Yee Haw” boots. The crossbody bag is perfect for concerts, gameday, and other events with a clear bag policy! You can personalize the initials and beaded strap! I can’t think of a better look for the amazing show Jason Aldean put on for the last night of CCMF!

What a fun year of good times, great music, and amazing people! To keep up with my country concert outfit inspiration and other looks, you can always check my LTK and Instagram for the most recent finds!

Whitney Rife x The Drop is LIVE! Shop My St. Tropez Inspired Summer Collection!

IT’S FINALLY HERE…Whitney Rife x Amazon The Drop is LIVE! You can now shop the collection for the next 30 hours only, so RUN, don’t walk. We can not restock, so be sure to shop now! I’m so excited to finally share this with you and hope you love it as much as I do! There’s truly something for everyone with a size range from XXS-3X and all under $70!

SHOP HERE!

What a dream this has been to create my very own St. Tropez Inspired collection with The Drop – my flirty take on St. Tropez featuring feminine silhouettes, romantic patterns, and swingy hemlines that nearly dare one to twirl. With the joyous color palette inspired by the seaside artists of the French Riviera, I simply adore the purely feminine feel of each piece. So without further ado, take a peek at what I’ve been up to the last few months. I’ve linked each look to make it easy to shop and find the perfect accessories!

You can’t go wrong with a matching set! The flirty silhouettes and tropical flowers will have you dreaming of a warm beach breeze and blue sky above.

There’s nothing like the pink of a St. Tropez sunset. Romantic and beautiful, this dress was inspired by an evening walk on the beaches of the French Riviera.

This stunning cyan blue is a guaranteed show stopper on a summer’s night out. I love adding gold accented accessories to further complement this piece.

Breezy and bright, this skirt will have you walking on sunshine! I love tying this piece together with colorful statement accessories.

If a tropical paradise was a dress, this would be it! I adore the ruching detail and asymmetrical tie that adds an extra flattering touch to this vibrant print.

Nothing shows off a summer tan like this gorgeous white romper and its cutout details. I think this would be perfect for a summer date night or bridal look!

A vacation wardrobe isn’t complete without a flowy maxi dress. The adjustable tie and backless detail make for an oh-so chic summer look.

To complement my designs, I’ve also included these beautiful looks from The Drop’s staples collection. You can continue shop these outfits even after my launch has ended. They are the perfect pairing with my pieces if you are looking for a cohesive summer wardrobe!

As always, I appreciate each and every one of youI love what I do because of you and am so blessed with the community I have with you all! Happy Shopping!
