Cowboy boots, yay or nay?

[srmom]

go great for after-work drinks. (Yes, this is how I pick out my work attire.

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!!

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.
