Red Cowboy Boots | still being [Molly]

You guys, I love a white dress and boots. For some reason this outfit makes me want to run through a field of sunflowers holding hands with my man whilst drinking lemonade from a Mason jar.

Right? Right.

But, in reality, there aren’t fields of sunflowers in Hillsborough, North Carolina. More like fields of dead grass and empty Bojangles cups. We gots lots of those.

I’m linking up with the adorable Sharon from The Tiny Heart today for What to Wear? and the theme is a Backyard BBQ. I can honestly tell you this is EXACTLY what I would wear to a BBQ. A light, flowy dress, and my fave Cowboy boots.

By the way, I’m still breaking these Shyanne boots c/o Boot Barn in… and oh my gosh I fall more in love with them every. single. day. GAH.

Also, NO, that is NOT a snake behind me. That happens to be our garden hose. You know, to water our already dying flora. I do not have a green thumb. For serial. All our plants are dying. I DO water them (with that hose you see there), but then they dry up… because it is TOO DADGUM HOT.

Moving on.

And then there are these earrings. I. Am. In. Lurve. When Marla from Anjolee contacted me and asked me to review a piece of jewelry,

1) I squealed (what girl doesn’t LOVE jewelry?),

2) I professionally responded with a Yes, why I’d love to!, and

3) I chose these quad-block diamond studs.

(Now, cause diamonds are pricey, I did receive them in high-quality CZ and silver, but the quality is honestly no different. They’re amazing!)

They remind me of quatrefoils! And you know how much I love quatrefoils…

I’ve seriously been wearing them EVERY DAY since I got them. I love them. And cause you can’t REALLY see them in the photo above, here are some closer photos I took of them:

Every time I come around your city, bling bling! The picture doesn’t really do the sparkles justice…

You guys, happy day after the Fourth of July! I know it’s not America’s birthday anymore, but hey that’s okay… doesn’t mean I can’t show you what I wore on America’s birthday.

We had just a couple friends come over for some pulled pork and hot dogs and some hanging out in the backyard. So it was low-key, but HOT. Oh so hot out, so at first I had this skirt number planned and then I quickly realized that shorts, a tank, and my new red boots were going to be just the trick.

I don’t usually love wearing just a tank top and shorts… but honestly, it was so hot out I didn’t really care all that much. BUT, I ended up actually kinda liking this outfit. Call me pleasantly surprised.

So, I will go ahead and get his out there: you’re gonna see a lot of these boots on the blog. You know how I love my cowboy boots. I mean, they’re kind of my thing. Right? Or something.

Well, the fabulous folks at Boot Barn sent me these amazing Shyanne boots and I could not love them more. Oh man. I love them. I love them. I love them. Did I mention I love them?

This isn’t my official “review” post cause they also sent a pair for the husband (which you know he was so pumped about) and I’m still working on breaking them in. BUT, I love them already. GAH.

Oh, and I got to REALLY work on breaking them in when one of our dogs, *cough* Tater *cough*, decided to do a little escape act after a cat and then I had to go sprinting around our neighborhood after her, whilst wearing these boots. Needless to say they held up EXTREMELY well considering I was BOLTING after her. Ugh. That dog. Gotta love ‘em.

HAHAH. Okay. SO, I’m posting the following four pictures in collage-form because I have no shame and I think they’re hilarious. I really wanted to try and do a “jumping picture.” I have no idea why, so don’t ask. However, I was not able to time it correctly with the self-timer and had a heck of a time trying to get a good jumping picture.

I have no idea what’s wrong with me LOL. So, I’m just posting these for your amusement.

Wow. Right? What’s that last one? I mean is that really an attempt at a jump? I have no idea. Anyway.

Back to the outfit and the boots.

I mean really, how gorgeous are these boots? ILOVETHEMSOMUCH. I can’t wait to really get ‘em good and broken in and tell you all about them.

Oh and I MIGHT be doing a little giveaway with them, too… who knows?
