Summertime Chic with Cowgirl Boots & Dresses

With summer here, it is the perfect time to get those cowgirl boots out and pair them up with one of your favorite chic dresses. Living in the city, you might be thinking “Oh, those cowgirl boots you have are only good for the rodeo, horseback riding, or a square dance!” Quite the contrary! They can be used for so much more than that! The traditional iconic American image of cowboy boots with  jeans, a plaid shirt, and a 10-gallon hat make it difficult for many to see cowboy boots in a different light as stylish and fashionable footwear.

I’ve set out to try to help change this mindset by gathering together some different stylish looks that you can create with your own cowgirl boots and dresses. Lets get those boots dusted off and out of the closet and into the world where they belong so that they can be seen. Pairing your boots with the perfect dresses and accessories, a number of different fashionable looks can be made to have you looking spectacular in no time. Here are my new favorite cowgirl boots below that I just picked out for the summer months. What do you think of them? Anyways, onto some different looks. Let me know your favorites!

Here are just some of the ways you can pair your cowgirl boots up with your favorite dresses!

1) Cowboy Boots with a Flowery Sundress

A floral sundress with cowboy boots looks so sweet and gorgeous. Make sure to choose a dress that is a bit  below the knees rather than a maxi long dress. You don’t want to hide those boots! Let them be seen! This will also make your legs appear to look longer.

 2) Rocking the Cowboy Boots with a White Dress

A simple white dress with a neutral color pair of boots, like the dark brown ones shown here will give you a very classy and elegant look.  Paired with the purse and necklace leaves you with a complete country and chic outfit.

 3) Little Black Dress or Cocktail Dress

A Day at the Races at Santa Anita Park @SantaAnitaPark @ABRLive #GetintheGame

A Day at the Races at Santa Anita Park

By: Erin

Disclosure:  I was invited out to Santa Anita Park by America’s Best Racing to experience a fun day of horse racing on opening day of the fall meet.  I received lunch and a gift bag.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Santa Anita Park is a beautiful race track in Southern California and the stands are packed with young and enthusiastic fans. Host of the Breeders Cup every November, I had the wonderful opportunity  not too long ago to spend a day at the track in Santa Anita to celebrate the opening day of the fall meet. Being the horse crazy gal that I am, I could not pass a chance up of spending a day with some amazing and powerful horses. I spend a lot of time with these guys after their racing days are over, but don’t get to see them in action as often as I would like during their racing careers.

Average crowds of over 50,000 come to be seen at events at race tracks all over the country. It’s not just about the sport, it’s a lifestyle. Folks will dress to the nines for the occasion with the latest fashions. Friends enjoy the afternoon together while making some new ones along the way. You can enjoy a drink and a nice meal while cheering on the horses and making memories to last a lifetime. Making a winning bet on some of the finest horses in America will have you floating on cloud 9, even if you only win a dollar or two.

Here is a little peek into our special day at the track!

Santa Anita Park New Look

 The newly remodeled Santa Anita has a fresh new look inside in their bar and food court area. Very snazzy! Cheers! Just so you know, they make the BEST Mai Tai’s here! 😉 We all had them. I’d say it’s safe to say, that it was the drink of the day. There food was wonderful as well. I had a pasta bowl, and it was delicious.
