Boots for chocolate

I have a real-life friend with whom I bond over fashion. We have very different personal styles, but still appreciate each other's taste in fashion. If I had to give us style names, I would be the Blonde Prep and she'd be the Brunette Rocker.

During one of our fashion gab sessions, I told her how I'd like to own a pair of cowboy boots some day. It turns out she has a pair that she never wears ("they're a blonde color, they'd look so much better on you anyway!"), and she gave them to me. In exchange, I promised to pick up a box of chocolates for her from her favorite chocolate shop. I'd agree to pay for boots with chocolate any day of the week!

Welcome to my home, sweet little boots!























Ok, so my first shot at wearing them wasn't exactly a triumph of style, but hey. It was a Friday!

























I thought I'd give my "Blonde Prep" J.Crew dress shirt and pink belt a little cowboy-spunk for the Friday bar. They're a little more fun and comfortable than heels, perfect for Friday-wear.

Alas, when it comes to finally getting a pair of Sperry Top Siders this summer, I think I'm going to have to buy those myself.

If you own cowboy boots, how do you like to style them?

I don't, but you did a gorgeous job styling yours.

Thank you, Slastena! I am going to rock them with a dress at some point... will be sure to post a photo when I do. :)

mommydearest, she's a great friend. She also has an extreme weakness for chocolate that I exploit occasionally. ;)

thanks for stopping by!
