I have a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes. I'm not crazy about most of her stuff, but I have to say that they are cute and work-appropriate and go great for after-work drinks. (Yes, this is how I pick out my work attire.) Not exactly the most comfortable pair of shoes I own, though. When I had to get a new coat, Macy's had a ton by her, and each one I saw scared me more than the previous one. No, I do not want a babyboll, double-breasted, puff sleeve coat.

Thank you for the correction! I knew it was some kind of -Mart!

:) That's cute, cuteASAbug!

I don't get the whole cowboy boot and dress thing. I went to a bunch of games at UT this fall and that is "the" look with the girls (the dresses are hideous shades of burnt orange too - a shirt yes, but a jersey, clingy dress - NO). Some girls looked cuter than others, but across the board, it is a hard look to pull off because of how it cuts you in pieces. If a girl is tall and slim, it's easier to look cute, but short girls looked unfortunate to me. (TMO)

But, maybe I'm just old and out of touch! We wore button up the back shirts with cumberbunds, and big hair and makeup, when I was in college, so who am I to judge fashion!!

I agree.

If I stumbled upon a cute pair of shoes or a great fragrance, I wouldn't NOT buy it because it said Simpson or Hilton.

But I also wouldn't advertise that I'm wearing Simpson or Hilton. So no "I wore the Jessica Simpson cowboy boots" or "I'm wearing my Paris Hilton fragrance tonight" coming from me.

Sorry didn't mean to be mean. Maybe Jessica Simpson shoes are just around here. They have really high heels. Short young people, which doesn't not describe me wear them. They are not cheap.

LOL so true!!! Many unfortunate women making these style choices for UT football games! I personally usually wear a jean skirt with a UT shirt, but I know for undergrad Greeks it's customary to dress up a bit more. I don't know why the jersey dresses are so popular though--I've seen some cuter dresses at the Co-op and other places that look like a million times better than those jersey things. I think the boots are on their way out though... although I can understand that they're way more comfortable than heels...

At my school Lily Pulitzer was de rigeur for football games, so go figure.:confused:
