Reader request…Melissa
I got a great request, Melissa, of Dreams to Designs by Senter, is out at a trade show at a bull sale and was hoping for some outfit inspiration.She gets to hang out for 5 days (might be rainy!) and the outfits need to be easy to move in…
Hope this helps inspire you Melissa!!!
Reader Request…Laura
Today`s reader request is from Laura of Bella Spur!!! The lucky girl is heading down to Texas next week for a reined cowhorse show and would love some inspiration. She emailed me a short list of items that she already has in her closet and I got to make up the rest! Hope this inspires you Laura and that you have lots of fun!! 
Polo Anyone?!
Hello my darlings….another reader request!!
This one is from Tracy, she gets to go to a polo match this spring in Texas!! And I’ll admit that this was an interesting one, I’ve NEVER been to a polo match! Totally something on my bucket list and soooo jealous of Tracy!! So after I googled “what to wear to an American polo match” (LOL) I put a few looks together! They (google) suggested “country casual”…jeans, spring dresses and most defintaly flat boots…
Thanks Tracy for the email!!
I die…
RODEO!!
More reader requests!! This one comes from Tiffany…she is heading off to the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals with her husband and twin 2 yr olds as her man is competing! I threw together a few ideas…have fun Tiffany, and I hope this inspires you on what to pack!
p.s. Don’t forget to enter the GIVEAWAY!!
In or out?!
The other day I was walking around one of my favorite malls in Calgary, Chinook Mall, and I was shocked.
Not so much by prices of things, or the fabulous sales. But rather by how turned off I was on what almost EVERYONE was wearing.
Now Chinook Mall is one of the classier (?!) malls…they have Tiffany & Co., Pottery Barn, Victoria Secret and Anthropologie, to name a few. And for Calgary, this is a big deal. Actually, for Canada, this is a big deal. I think there are only like 3 Pottery Barns in our country….
Anyways…
What I am getting at is that this mall caters to a “higher class” of stay at home moms and teens (the people who are usually at the mall at 10am)…so what they were wearing wasn’t shabby or horrible, actually, everyone looked REALLY put together. What bothered me was the VAST number of women wearing boots over jeans.
You know…
This look…
Now don’t get me wrong…I work this look, I LOVE this look…or should I say LOVED.
Because the more women I saw, the more I decided that I was SO OVER IT. Once something becomes soooo mainstream, I’m done…
- blingy belts, boots, coats, buckles…etc. OVER IT
- Miss Me jeans or any with the flashy embelished pockets…OVER IT
- round toed cowboy boots…
- burnout tees…
OVER IT.
Oh, and another look I saw A LOT of in the stores?! Aztec prints…
I adored this look this past September when all the great fall stuff was coming out…Now?! It has been dooonnneee by everyone and I am ready for the next thing. Of course I have worn all this stuff, but I like to find things and do it before everyone and their dog is too…I’m funny that way.
Soooo…that got me thinking. What do I think is next?!
Glad you asked!
Now, I am only one person…and I have a tendancy to voice my opinions…loudly.
But I do listen too…so, what do you think?!
one item…two ways…
I have to say a HUGE sorry for the serious lack of posts lately. My baby girl has decided that 8 to 12pm is her favorite time to be awake…and this means mommy has to pay attention to her, or ELSE! And that is usually my “ME” time when I get my blogging done! Darn it!
But…she’s asleep right now…sooo…
This post is a new idea for me…totally stolen from another blogger of course, because what good idea isn’t?! 
I love the blog, ALL THINGS LOVELY, and she does a post series called “Dress Up, Dress Down” …my title, not so original…help me out here if you want!!
What do you think?! I know that a lot of the items that I use can be on the $$$ side. And I totally realize that this is impractical, but when I am making “looks” I just pick things that appeal to me in their shape, color and style. I don’t pick based on designer or price tag, and by no stretch of the imagination do I think that you need to spend big bucks to recreate these looks yourselves. All I am hoping you take away or copy is the idea. Many things can be found for a heck of a lot cheaper in your favorite stores…GAP, Zara, Joe Fresh or wherever you love to shop, keep the “looks” in mind when you are shopping and I can guarantee you will be able to recreate on your budget no problem!!
I also have a question for you all.
I have been asked to participate in a ag-conference discussing fashion and interior design with woman from all sorts of ag. backgrounds. The theme/lecture is totally up us (I love a team effort!) and I was wondering, if you were to attend something like this, what would you like me to talk about?! Thanks in advance for all the help!!!
Hope your week is going fabulous and love ya!!
