Hello friends,
last week I was almost attacked by an avalanche of shoes so I knew it was time to starting clearing out my closet. If you are a regular follower of DeDivahDeals, then you know about the weekly “You Choose the Shoes” feature on Wednesdays.
I have plenty of shoes but I can’t say the same for boots so this fall I will be on the hunt for the perfect pair of Cowboy Boots. I have been trying to find a thrifted pair but that’s like finding a needle in a haystack, so I am going online to Boot Daddy to find a pair.
A city slicker such as myself is only looking at the fashion of the boot, but there is a lot of history behind the original Cowboy boots, check out this infographic.
If you come looking for me, I’ll be deep inside my closet making room for my fall shoes as well as making room for a new pair of Cowboy Boots!
I might even have to take a quick trip to Texas and look up my friend Laurie from Pride in Photos. She is a fantastic photographer who also has a great eye for Cowboy boots!
How about you, is there a pair of Cowboy Boots somewhere in your closet?
Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014!

Hello Friends…I’m back and so did son and I – we went back to Cowgirl’s Creamery and it was definitely worth it. I am not a big sweet-eater especially ice cream, but the thought of having Farm Fresh Hand Dipped Ice Cream for dessert was too hard to resist. So much so that I ate my 2 scoops of Coconut ice cream as I was preparing dinner!
The cows were back in the barn at Emerson Farms but the goats were out at Cowgirl’s.

Saturday was an overcast and cloudy day which put me in the mood to do a little thrifting. With a dollar limit in mind and a $10 gift card I headed south to Goodwill in Smyrna. Upon entering the store I grabbed a cart which was taken by an associate because it remained empty and idle for too long. I was looking around in search of Cowboy boots and I hate pushing the cart in and out of the aisles during my search. I didn’t find the boots but found a few other items along with another empty cart on the other side of the store.
Aqua Maxi Dress – $5.00 // Bold Spirit Reversible, Suede Jacket – $7.00//St. Johns Bay Green Denim Skirt – $3.75
Style co Polka Dot Top – $3.75// Mootsies Tootsies Faux Leather/Croc Loafers – $5.00
Atrium Collection Blue and White Houndstooth Jacket with Bow – $6.00
As I headed back north to Middletown, I stopped at a small yard sale on Route 13 and purchased a belt and small makeup bag spending $2.00, the ladies were grateful since they hadn’t had a sale all day. Goodwill in Middletown is undergoing renovations, “to make it a more pleasant shopping experience” which is what the sales associate said – lol. Once again, the hunt for Cowboy boots was futile however, I did find a few nice skirts for the fall and winter season.
Multi Color, long sleeve top – $3.75// GAP Tweed Skirt – $3.75// Le Suit Black and White Houndstooth Skirt – $3.75
Chaus Green Skirt – $3.75// Mossimo Bronze Peep Toe Shoes – $4.00
Small stain in the tweed skirt came out in the wash and I will be removing the bows on the jacket because it cuts tight across the chest.

Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
I stayed up too late last night watching Chicagolicious and like the weather today my head is a little foggy. I had seen portions of a few episodes but never watched an entire show and couldn’t stay up last night either – I may have to check it out online. Today’s outfit has me feeling a little country, I only wished I had a a pair of cowboy boots, I’ll add that to my thrifting wish list.
