Cowgirl Chic


The days of cowboy boots being just for cowboys are over!


This western wear staple can be worn with just about anything: Under your jeans, over your jeans, with shorts, with an airy dress, with a simple dress, with leggings or tights. Whatever you decide to wear them with just don’t over do it by going for a western themed outfit, or anything to "busy" or loud. Remember: It’s not a costume. It’s ........

If the boot fits....

With winter in swing it's time to break out the boots!!!
Boots are probably one of my favorite things to wear. They are so versatile. They can be worn under pants or jeans, with jeans tucked into them (my favorite), or even with a sweater dress.

Luckily, you will be able to find a ton of boots on sale right now. There are a ton of places that you can scoop up boots for reasonable prices right now. Places like DSW have really good prices. Nordstrom and Macy’s have great prices as well.
A classy tip: If you sign up for email newsletters from Aldo, they will give you a coupon for 10% off your first purchase. you can sign up by clicking here.
REMEMBER: you get what you pay for. Don’t go the cheap route when it comes to boots.
Cheep Boots Look Cheep.
You don’t have to spend a fortune but keep in mind that you only wear them a few months out of the year. So a good pair (or two) can last you a few years at least.

A Faux-Pas comes full circle.

Once considered an extreme FAUX- PAS is now a thing of the past. Can you guess what I’m talking about?
I'm talking about wearing brown and black together in the same outfit. Most of us would have rather died than wear these two together. But now, I am here to tell you that it not only acceptable, but it actually looks good. I'm not sure where the idea that the two colors didn't match came from but I’m glad that we as fashonista's have finally wised up and can embrace this look with open arms.
You will be seeing it all over this season, from people walking on the streets or in shopping centers, high end catalogues, to the chicest boutiques.

Now, there still are a few rules that go along with this.
(1) If you are wearing a belt, the belt must match your shoes. For instance, brown belt, brown shoes and vis-versa.
(2) Keep it simple. Don’t go around wearing all different shades of brown with your black. It will make you look like a patchwork quilt and that's not the look we are going for here.

Wear your brown and black together! You will look and feel FABULOUS!
