Like a red or black dress that comes just to the knee, or a little above, and the boots. I wouldn't worry too much about looking goofy-- it is a theme party so it's not your fault! You can accessorize with some silver and turquoise jewelry to bring it together, if the dress isn't western-y. I don't know what kind of company he works for, but I feel like a denim shirt dress would be too casual (as would jeans and plaid?). Sounds like fun anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1407484 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 13:39:44 +0000 Meredith 1407484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/shiny/">shiny</a>: I love that coated denim jacket. &nbsp;I do not actually own a denim jacket because they never feel like me, but I think something like that might work. &nbsp;The skirts are super cute, but because I am tall I think they might be too short. But it wouldn't hurt to pop into BR and try.</p> <p>&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/crutcher/">crutcher</a>: Thanks for weighing in. &nbsp;Agreed the denim dress option is not the best. &nbsp;It would feel like a costume. &nbsp;I love my brown boots too, but do not wear them nearly as much as I should!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/geowench/">MuseumGal</a>: I love to wear cowboy boots with dresses. &nbsp;So fun. &nbsp;I just want to make sure the dress isn't too nice in the even everyone else shows up in jeans.</p> <p>Keep the suggestions coming, everyone. &nbsp;In the meantime, I'm ordering &nbsp;sparkly sweater and dress options and will try to check out the local B&amp;M stores this week. &nbsp;I will report back with pictures!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406698 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 03:08:02 +0000 MuseumGal 1406698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear a nice a dress and the cowboy boots, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406506 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 22:29:46 +0000 crutcher 1406506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for the shiny blingy outfit rather than a denim skirt/dress...The brown boots are so me...I have a pair of Mz Moos that I have to limit wear or I would wear them every day...Can't wait to hear how you solved this style dilemma...<br />The navy wrap dress sounds interesting...Maybe topped with a denim jacket...<br />Isn't this fun!..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406392 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 20:01:02 +0000 Meredith 1406392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/kellygirl/">kellygirl</a>: Agreed, this is a fun theme and should be a nice change from the typical company party. &nbsp;I hadn't thought of layering the plaid under the sparkly sweater, but that's a great way of further acknowledging the theme while keeping things a bit dressy.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/scolaris/">thimblelina</a>,&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/jjjj/">Janet</a>: The hunt for a sparkly top is on. &nbsp;Janet, the wrap dress idea is another great thought. &nbsp;I do have a navy wrap, but it could be too summer. &nbsp;Will need to experiment.</p> <p>Shiny, will respond when my battery charges! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406371 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 19:19:33 +0000 shiny 1406371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fun challenge!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the idea of cowboy boots with a cocktail dress that is on the&nbsp;shorter side - i.e., above the knee length.</p> <p>If you need a&nbsp;topper I'd add a black coated denim jacket - more dressy than your usual denim jacket. Something like this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/ag-adriano-goldschmied-jacket-robyn-coated-denim?ID=1134896&amp;PartnerID=LINKSHARE&amp;cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-n-_-n-_-n&amp;LinkshareID=J84DHJLQkR4-9PEgtAeE6G_tceUJ0McvVQ">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....m?ID=11348</a></p> <p>Or short sparkly skirt, with a casual-luxe&nbsp;sweater - something like this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.loft.com/metallic-jacquard-mini-skirt/345125?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=17608541&amp;catid=catl000017&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=8814">http://www.loft.com/metallic-j.....catid=catl</a></p> <p>or this...&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1011771&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=184438012">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=184438012</a></p> <p>or this..&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1011771&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=183093002">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=183093002</a></p> <p>Ooh this is cute:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1011771&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=182727022">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=182727022</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406334 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 18:29:07 +0000 Janet 1406334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, this is right up my alley (says the girl who has been wearing cowboy boots for two weeks straight). I'd either go for&nbsp;the cowboy boots with slim dark jeans and a sparkly fluid top, as others have suggested, or maybe try the boots with a simple dress in a silhouette you like. In the past I've worn my tan cowboy boots with a simple wrap dress, and the effect is nice for casualizing the dress. I added a denim jacket for times when I needed a little more warmth (this was a spring or summer outfit), but that might also help lend a little western flair without looking all-out cowgirl. Just an idea... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406315 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 17:54:03 +0000 thimblelina 1406315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops!

I'd prefer that over cocktail attire any day of the week but then again I am most comfortable in casual. If it were me, I'd wear a sparkly sweater or sweatshirt over plaid button down with skinnies tucked into boots. If you want to up the dressiness, you could swap out the bottoms for a pencil skirt. I'd also probably see if I could add some bling with a necklace or dangly earring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-cowboy-boots-for-the-holidays#post-1406276 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 16:47:15 +0000 Meredith 1406276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just when I thought my holiday party ensemble was squared away my husband threw me a curve ball. &nbsp;The theme of his company Christmas party is "boots, chaps, and cowboy hats." Doesn't scream for a cocktail dress, does it? &nbsp;Luckily, I do already own a pair of nice brown cowboy boots. &nbsp;But how to style them in a festive way that doesn't make me look like a Texas&nbsp;sorority girl or quirky southern bridesmaid from a pinterest board?</p> <p>I could go full-on casual and wear jeans, the boots, and buy a plaid shirt of some sort. &nbsp;Probably the most cost-effective option, although I would need ideas to make it more festive. </p> <p>Or, I could kick up the dressiness a notch and wear a sparkly sweater like Angie suggested in her last ensemble post. &nbsp;</p> <p>I could even try a denim shirt dress or&nbsp;bright shift dress and tights.</p> <p>What do you ladies think? &nbsp;Any other ideas?</p>
