My Picks #3: Cowboy boots

I owe you readers an apology for such a long unannounced hiatus! A break from school makes you want to take a break from everything!
I'm going to pick back up with another of my personal product picks. The third one is...

Cowboy boots


Now, I know what some of you are thinking. I promise you though, the right style can really make a look, so long as you don't let it look costumey. I got my first pair for Christmas when I was about 5. They were bright red, and even then I appreciated their fashion power!








My pair of vintage-looking brown leather Ariats are actually for riding horses, but you can find fashion pairs in any department store. They are actually my most expensive fashion piece, but it was definitely a wise investment, as I have probably worn them over 100 times in the 3 years I've had them, and get compliments on them very often.



Country singer Taylor Swift has made pairing boots with formal dresses her signature look.

If you're not sure of how to wear them or if you're just not sure if they're for you, put on something you like to wear a lot and go shopping. Try them on with what you think you'd wear them with. I wear mine with shorts (try to avoid the Daisy Duke look), with skinny jeans tucked into them, or with knee-length or shorter dresses.


Be adventerous! But if you don't feel comfortable, don't waste your money on something you won't look forward to wearing.

Happy shopping!
