How to Wear Cowboy Boots

Hi everyone!

One of my favorite items in my closet is my cowboy boots! I wear them everywhere, even though my mother hates them. They're so comfy and such a Southern staple -- you can't go anywhere in the South without seeing people wearing them! Here's how I wear my cowboy boots:

My go-to outfit during summer is a sundress and boots. I love sundresses because you don't have to worry about putting a whole outfit together -- it's all right there! With cowboy boots, I like a swingy, slightly short dress, and I really love the flirty key-hole on this white one! I like neutral bags and jewelry that just add a little shine so the boots are the star of the show!

I have been known to wear this outfit for pretty much anything -- running errands, school, study days, dates...I love the easy comfort of this simple outfit. I usually wear bootcut jeans with my boots, and I hardly ever tuck the jeans in. I like the old-fashioned, relaxed look of just the toe poking out. Also, bootcut jeans are so much comfier than skinny jeans...no squeezing required! I put a white t-shirt in this set, but any casual top could work, and I complete the look with my monogram necklace, charm bracelet, and Longchamp bag.

The final way I wear my boots is when I go out at night with friends to concerts and other fun events. I love my boots at concerts because my toes never get stepped on! I usually wear my booties instead of my boots because they were much less expensive (so I don't really care what happens to them) and they don't get as hot as the boots. I adore wearing my black bandage skirt with a fun, flowy top and simple jewelry. I almost never take a bag to concerts and parties -- it's just one more thing to keep track of, and you can always sweetly ask a boy to hold your phone and keys!

So, hopefully this showed my mom that there is, in fact, a way to wear cowboy boots for every occasion, which is her main argument against them ("Carson, they're just not appropriate!"). Whatever she says, I still adore them.

Are there any other ways to wear my cowboy boots that y'all can think of? Let me know!

Have a lovely day!
XO,
Carson
