believe it or not...

Believe it or not, I bought these boots long before moving to Texas was even a thought in my head. I actually got them several years ago, when cowboy boots first started appearing on the streets of NYC, but somehow, I never got into them. These are legit cowboy boots, and they always seemed a little heavy for walking around.

Also, my socks kept slipping off in them -- how do you prevent that?!

But now that I'm a southerner, I figured it was time to give them another try! I skipped the socks this time, although I'd welcome tips on that. This outfit seems very Texan as is, but the dress is actually really versatile. You could easily pair it with some nude heels and wear it out at night, or throw on some sandals for a laid back daytime event.

Or, if you're in the Northeast right now, maybe you could just throw on a parka? I wouldn't know, because it was eighty degrees here today. (Sorry, sorry, I'll stop!)
