If any one person embodies the Fort Worth style — or has had some hand in defining it — it’s Jamie Pulido. A retired nurse who’s become a part-time employee at Morgan Mercantile — which also happens to be one of her favorite local shops — Pulido’s taken her penchant for denim, cowboy hats, Dickies one-pieces, and Cowtown-clad shirts and managed to create some influential fashion statements.
“Fort Worth style is about being yourself,” Pulido says. “It might be a mix of wild west and hipster, but, ultimately, it’s not about being the next person; it’s about being authentic.”
Pulido attests that, ever since she started dressing more authentically herself, she receives a hefty serving of double-takes and compliments when in public. She credits a handful of Fort Worth’s creative class — Tony Green, Rambo Elliott, and Nancy Lamb — with inspiring her to have fun with fashion and to keep it funky.
Pulido invited us to check out her residence — along with her closet — at her home deep in the River District. What we found were threads that positively screamed Fort Worth.
