Searching: Perfect Cowboy Boots

There is something so charming and endearing about a simple pair of worn-in cowboy boots. Sadly, during a move a few years ago, I lost a box of shoes which held my beloved cowboy boots; a gift from my Mom that I treasured. I've since been on the hunt for that perfect pair, but have turned up short in my efforts thus far. Here are some I'm currently keeping my eye on (paired with a few suitable ensemble companions):
1. Frye ankle short 2. Tony Lama ankle boots 3. Frye carson shortie 4. Frye billy charcoal 5. Frye harness boots 6. Frye billy pull on 7. linen dress 8. paisley print dress 9. frill silk dress 10. a-line washed dress 11. cropped sweater 12. loose pocket tee 13. butterfly check shirt 14. polka dot scarf 15. chunky knit scarf 16. printed spot scarf 17. petal leaf scarf
Pin It!

I love #6 and I'll take all of the scarves please! xo

Aimee said...

I love #4 boots and #8 dress. With a belt around the waste it could be so cute! Good luck in your search!

The way I see it, you really can't go wrong with Frye. But also the way I see it is that you can never go wrong with cowboy boots either, so...

Love all of those dresses too!

quintessence said...

Love it - great options for the perfect outfit. I love dress #8!!

Cara said...

I have a pair of tall boots, but I am loving the short ones you posted!

Laura Trevey said...

Frye boots rock!!!

marissa from the boot said...

ill take 3, 9 and 16 asap! i feel especially "cool" in cowboy boots, and i love the short kind the best. :)

One of my friends has #4 and they look fantastic on!

MG said...

Confession: when I was 16 I worked at a western store and made my shopping money selling cowboys $3000 pair of boots. I'd have to say in my expert (haha) opinion #6 is amazing! However, as far as "cowboy" is concerned, #2 is the most legit.

Priscila Peters said...

The dresses and scarfs are stunning. Love all of them.
Boots, # 4.

I'm sorry you lost your original pair - I also love how you propose to style a new pair!

I am also on the hunt for a great pair of cowboy boots... I think I have nailed down the style that I want, after searching through dozens of vintage stores, but I've been having a hard time finding the right pair in my size. Sigh.

Kayla said...

Being from Texas I avoided the cowboy boot for as long as possible - but this year I found a pair of ankle suede vintage boots for - are you ready - $8. And my cowboy boot love has begun!

I often feel like cowboy boots can be too kitschy (probably because I'm from NY and no one wears them,) but I love the #5 Fry Harness boots! They would look too, too cute with any of the dresses you chose. Great choices!

Those ankle cowboy boots are so adorable and perfect for spring! I once got an amazing pair of vintage cowboy boots at the Rose Bowl market, they have quite an amazing selection if you are into the vintage route!

You need to visit Allen's Boots in Austin, TX! Or, in the meantime, visit their website at http://www.allensboots.com. I totally recommend Ariat brand boots--bought them when I was in TX and cannot get enough of them!

Marie a la Mode said...

Awww, too bad about your lost pair of boots : ( I lost three pairs of shoes I got from Europe when I moved...I love the #3's!

Tamra of walkswithBella said...

Love this post!!! Huge fan of cowboy boots, being Texan and all. Totally sorry to hear that you lost your favorite pair, oh that is a terrible feeling. Hope you find the one! I love #4 and #2. When I first moved to NYC, i always wore dresses and cowboy boots on Sundays. I think I'm going to bring it back now.

Happy Weekend!

I found my cowboy boots at the local thrift store. They are the perfect color and perfectly worn. Major score for under $5.00! (And they go with all most anything!)

Jen of MadeByGirl said...

ive rocked dresses with similar boots in the past....i tend to gravitate toward brown boots though for some reason :))) Love!!

Ruby Girl said...

bahh everytime i see cowboy boots i kick myself for not buying this amazing pair from, get this, a garage sale! they were in perfect condition, $10, and i must have been out of my mind to leave without them :) they would have looked perrrfect with any the tops & scarves you featured, love this post! <3 EverRubyGirl.blogspot.com

Tiffany said...

oh i wanted a pair too, i also really like them with skinny jeans and a frilly dress on top!

Tracy-Girl @ Then I Got To Thinking said...

Beautiful! I love cowboy boots! My favorite pair are from Target and I got them almost 5 years ago. :) Dresses and cowboy boots remind me of Taylor Swift!

a displaced floridian said...

frye boots are always a good choice. love.

Cat @Perpetual Perfection said...

I read this on my phone and couldn't comment and then it just totally slipped my mind! I think #4 or #6. They are classic. Coming from a Texas girl with 3 pairs of cowboy boots you want a higher cut boot on the calf and a little "baggy" for lack of a better word. Soccer calves over here definitely appreciates the breathing room! Check out Lucchese. They are to die for!

Lyndsy said...

I wore my cowboy boots this weekend to the Topanga Canyon Banjo Fiddle Festival and it was so fun to see how everybody sports them differently. Such a great piece to own!

Ana said...

Oh those scarfs....i want them all!!
