Cowboy boots, yay or nay?

[SWTXBelle]

I think the boots look big, and the heel somehow doesn't work.

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.

I forgot she had a clothing line.

Apparently they were from the "Simpson shoe line" of which I'm unfamiliar.

I thought they were just talking about her Dukes of Hazard-ish look.

I didn't know either.

But now that I know, wearing Jessica Simpson boots are about just as cool as wearing Jaclyn Smith's collection from Wal-Mart.

I refreshed my Jessica Simpson memory and looked on Macy's website. Her clothes aren't too pricey but they are certainly average if not below average.

Jaclyn Smith is K Mart. (This is what brand my black sorority pants are, LOL.) Kathie Lee used to be evil empire Walmart but I think they got rid of it.

Jessica S does have a shoe line and I've been frightened that some of them are actually cute...much in the same way that I'm frightened that I like Paris Hilton's perfumes. But I figure...if I wouldn't buy something FOR the name, I shouldn't NOT buy it for the name.

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!

I love one of Britney Spears' perfumes.... though I would be embarassed to buy it!!

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.
