Western Modernized

So as we all know, cowboy boots are totally in. Western looks are in! Now I'm not talking about wranglers and high-waisted jeans, I'm talking about wearing cowboy boots with a feminine dress paired with southwestern jewelry. Mix it up! Like I did here :). Hope this outfit post inspires you to mix up your wardrobe, take risks, and develop your own personal style! 

When I was home for Thanksgiving, I raided my mom's closet to create this look! Of course, the best stuff and accessories are at home because mom's actually have money to buy all these nice things! My favorite piece of this whole look is the squash blossom necklace...a piece I'll probably never own. So a "real" squash blossom goes for around $2,500. My mom got it from her grandmother... so precious. But the boots rival the necklace...it's a close call. I love these boots from Old Gringo! I love wearing cowboy boots with dresses. So fun. Plus I feel a little connected to T-Swift since she wears Old Gringo's too ;). 

Hope everyone has a great week. I know mine is super duper busy with finals approaching but all I want to do is watch Glee and eat ice cream :(... particularly Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.
