Preppy in Pink & A Texas Twist

Preppy Southern Style

When’s the last time you saw J.Crew paired with cowboy boots? Never? Same.

An unlikely combination, to be sure.

But as I was combing through my closet one day, the idea of combining a favorite pair of boots with my favorite J.Crew skirt popped into my head. “Would that work?” I was excited, intrigued, and immediately got to work.

Every Southern girl knows how to pair a sundress with cowboy boots.

I just took it one step further.

If you had told me to do this a week ago, I would have called you crazy.

But this is the Lonestar State of Southern, after all. So we do things a little bit differently here.

My precious baby Rufus (Legally Blonde reference… anyone catch it?) liked the outfit so much that he just had to jump in a few photos.

He ended up being quite the diva about it, but that’s allowed when you’re that cute.

This look might be a little much for a shopping trip or lunch with friends, but luckily there’s an easy fix: swap out the cowboy boots for your favorite pair of summer sandals! Gold Tory Burch “Emmys” are my go to.
