Austin's South By Southwest Music Festival is not only exhausting for the 2,000+ bands performing, but also the fans who are dedicated to running around to catch the next big act. Toward the end of the five day music marathon, the best dressed women on the street were choosing comfortable fashion over a super stylized look (i.e. flats in lieu of heels and simple accessories).

Which isn't to say that there wasn't a plethora of outfits that we'd die to have in our own closets. While vintage collectibles and cool boots dominated the first street style run, this time around Sixth Street was all about pretty sundresses and T-shirt toppers.

Take a tour of these rockin' looks and then head on over to our brother site Spinner for the full scope of SXSW 2010.
