Hey Cowboy

cowboyboots
I recently bought a pair of gently worn cowboy boots from a great local vintage boutique, and while I have all sorts of ideas for them come spring (floral skirts! sundresses!), I'm not sure what I should and should not wear them with right now.

Can I wear them in place of my Uggs (if I were to wear Uggs, which I definitely don't. Unless it's really cold, or really snowy, or really slushy which is every day of winter on my Midwest campus)? Can I wear them with leggings? With tights? With cardigans and cableknit sweaters to class? With little dresses and opaque tights for a night out?

These are only a few of the many questions floating around in my mind. Very luckily, I just came across Ellenitza, the adorable blog of a girl who really knows how to work her cowboy boots. It sort of blows my mind how she makes them look so cool and so not country, even when worn with things like plaid and flannel.

Do you own cowboy boots? How do you wear yours?
