Cowboy boots, yay or nay?

Recruitment starts on the 24th.
What do you think about wearing cowboy boots during open house?
I'm going for TTU in Texas.

Shoot me now if you think they're dreadful, lol.
For the third round I'm going to wear a tan-ish brown dress and I was thinking to wear brown cowboy boots.
Not pref day, but the day before. Our open house days are split into 2 days.

Yes. No. Yes. No?

Well me personally I would say no to the cowboy boots but that's just because I've never really liked them.

What I would do if the third round is pref (i'm assuming) I would do a really pretty brown sandal with it ( a heeled sandal like a kitten heel to a 2" heel)

GOOD LUCK THOUGH WITH RECRUITMENT!!!!

Not sure if you're asking about open house or third round...

Open house they may be okay, depending on the campus. They'd better be comfortable, though.

If third round is pref (not sure if it is or not), I would say no to the boots. Pref is a more dressy event, and cowboy boots with a dress are not dressy. I realize that I'm not southern, but cowboy boots and a dress just scream casual to me.

I like some cowboy boots but wouldn't advise wearing them for an open house.

They are too cliche. Don't wear them.

I would say no. I could MAYBE see them during an earlier round with jeans, but never during 3rd round WITH A DRESS.

No - you want the attention on you, not your clothing. Boots would really stand out - maybe in a good way, maybe not - I wouldn't risk it.

Ok I am from West Texas and if you see people wear boots and they look cute, I'd wear them. I would check with my friends and see what they said. That being said a friends who daughter went through rush at TCU this fall wore some Jessica Simpson boots with a sun dress. It looked really cute and she could pull it off. But if this is pref day I would say NO. And no to sandles in Lubbock in Jan.

Normally I'd say no to cowboy boots, but you ARE in Texas. I mean, Wade Phillips wore cowboy boots to his interview with the Dallas Cowboys and he got the job. I'd ask your Rho Gamma or get the consensus of other PNMs.

No.

breathesgelatin · #11 01-22-2008, 06:31 PM

I say no. I don't care what round it is, don't wear them to recruitment with a dress.

I hate that they are called this. I know that this is just the popular culture reference for them, but still.

Or did she say that b/c they are literally from the Jessica Simpson line of shoes and boots (as in "my Jimmy Choo boots" or whatever) - which being a shoe person, I am still personally horrified by the designs from her line, but that is just me, the shoe queen...

Oh lordy, she's back.

We were hoping that your absence meant that you threw yourself into a pack of hungry hyenas.
