Let’s Talk Cowboy Boots
Sorry for the long hiatus, few readers I have! There is no real reason for this, just a lack of dedication. However, after seeing Julie and Julia tonight (which is quite a cute movie), I was inspired to revive my blog. So here we are chillun, first post in months!
Let’s talk cowboy boots.
I recently decided that, aside from a denim vest, my wardrobe would be completed with cowboy boots. Why? BECAUSE THEY’RE AWESOME, THAT’S WHY. While they are highly functional in the West, they are highly cute everywhere else. Maybe my cowboy boots don’t tell the truth, seeing as I was born in New York (play on lyrics from The Format? Anyone? Anyone? No?), I still love them and enjoyed my quest in finding them. Let us go through my plight.
First, I hit up Factory Brand shoes. Alas, all the boots were Ugg-like. My apologies to all Ugg enthusiasts, but they are fugly and meant to be used as slippers. Really over-priced slippers. Next, I ventured to the land of Nine West. I found some boots that were not cowboy-esque in the least bit, however, the allure of Nine West began to draw me in. One hundred an nine dollars? No sweat, right? Luckily, my mother was there to remind me that no matter how exciting Nine West is, cowboy boots were what I had been talking about incessantly for the past two weeks. Next I ventured to Bass, where I found cowboy boots(!)…..for again, $109. Not worth it. While driving the car to Lucky Brand Jeans, for the usual browsing, a shoe store I had never heard of caught my attention: Rack Room Shoes. “I might as well look,” I told my mother as she pulled over. I walked to the size 8 section and there it was: a beautiful selection of cowboy boots. Two caught my eye immediately.
One like such, rather flashy. The ones I saw were bedazzled.
The other pair resembled the ones on the far left, except they were slouchy.
In the end, I opted for the second pair. It was not quite the classic cowboy cut and style, but at the end of the day, it was not bedazzled. Because what kind of cowboy has rhinestones on his boots?
