again with the old gringos

ok SO.

i'm still on the hunt for the ole' cowboy boots. i *think* i found the perfect pair (the monarca by old gringo - $450 for brown, $380 for black) and i decided to order them in both brown and black so i could try them on at home. either one will be a great staple boot, wearable with pretty much anything. according to my friend andrea, a native austinite, "after all, turquoise IS neutral in texas."





weeeellll i definitely like the brown ones better...but i can't stop thinking about the red ones (salome by old gringo, $430) from my last post. if turquoise is considered neutral, wouldn't red be too?


i am so torn! what to do what to do!

deciding between two old gringos

on sunday i went on a quick shopping trip with my friend andrea to allen's boots on south congress. now that i'm a texan i've been thinking about getting myself a pair of cowboy boots and up until sunday hadn't even tried any on. i knew the second i did would be the kiss of death.

the good ones are a serious investment and now that i've felt the buttery leather on my little piggies i don't think i can go too much longer without a pair. i know i'll wear them all the time - UT tailgating, shopping trips, out for the night, paired with a cute sundress, yadda yadda. it's just SO HARD to make the decision. here are two pairs i've found and reaallllly like. which would you get - the red statement or the brown staple?
