Splurge vs Save: Battle of the Boots

June 29, 2016

It’s always a struggle when your inner self is trying to decide whether you want to treat yo’ self, or ball on a budget and save some of that extra money for a rainy day. Here at The Boot Jack, we try to have items that can fit every budget, so you can still look great whether the price tag doesn’t matter or you need something more wallet friendly.

Fringe is this seasons latest fashion trend and can be added anywhere from a leather jacket to a cross shoulder handbag. For our latest Splurge vs. Save, we will be featuring two different pairs of cowgirl boots with fringe, because fringe is in!

Splurge: Corral Multicolored Fringe Boots – $379.99

This boot is the perfect mix of cowgirl and boho chic with the layer of fringe surrounding the entirety of the boot. Handcrafted with genuine leather, these Corral boots have intricate tribal detailing on the upper front center shaft, along the shaft opening edge, and on the vamp. With brass circular studs and black and purple crystals, you’ll feel extra fun and flirty while wearing these. The turquoise & white

stitch embroidery also add extra flair to these boots.

These boots also happen to be $379.99 so if that’s a steal for you, then go for it! If that’s a little out of your price range, we have another option for you…

Save: Old West Fringe Cowgirl Boots – $139.99

Old West Fringe Cowgirl Boots

If you’re not into the major bling so much, then these might be a better fit for both you and your wallet. These boots by Old West have a double layer of fringe, compared to the one layer of the Corrals, which let them dance around your feet more dramatically. They don’t have any embroidery stitching or any of the tiny details the Corrals do, but they have similar looking brass studs around the shaft opening edge.

While both boots have similarities, such as the flattering snip-toe and, of course, the fringe, the Corrals have a glossy leather finish while the Old West boots have a matte leather finish. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, so why would you judge a pair of boots by their price tag? Shop affordably for your style and budget, here at The Boot Jack.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Countriness

June 15, 2016

The cowboys and cowgirls out there sometimes talk a little smack to those who want to wear the country fashion, but not live the country lifestyle.

But the flowy dresses, the perfect fitting jeans, and the Western style tops aren’t just reserved for “real” country people anymore, but anyone who loves and appreciates the style.

There’s nothing wrong with this notion. If you want to buy a pair of boots and happen to work in an office instead of a ranch, so what? Country is known for being American, and what’s more American than having the freedom to buy and wear what you like?

Boho Country

June 7, 2016

Two reigning styles that aren’t going anywhere anytime soon are Boho-Chic and Country.

While Bohemian literally means a person from Bohemia, it’s also evolved to mean someone who doesn’t conform to societal norms, like artists. Boho clothing is usually colorful and detailed, with intricate patterns and a retro flair.

Country, on the other hand, is a little more vague. Country can be anything from a plaid shirt and a pair of jeans for a tough day at work to a sundress with a pair of boots for a night out at the dancehall.

So what happens when you mix both and get Boho Country? You’ll get the Weslaco Henley Tunic made by Rancho Estancia. The gold and earth tones and tribal pattern are very Boho and when you add a pair of jeans and some boots, you get a Country twist.

There’s nothing wrong with being different, in fact, in the world of fashion, it’s even encouraged. There’s nothing wrong with mixing two styles to find the one you love. So live a little and mix it up.

Find this and more only at The Boot Jack.
