Boot Shopping in Nashville.
The entire culture behind cowboy boots in Nashville is nothing short of fascinating. Wow, it seems like people are sporting them everywhere you look, especially the ladies who truly embrace this iconic footwear. I love it.
I decided to name this particular pair "Faith." As a city girl who ventured to Nashville, I completely fell in love with the vibrant atmosphere and the style it promotes. How could it be any other way, right? Take a look at the captivating photos from my shopping experience at Boot Barn, where they had hundreds of stunning styles available all over the place.
It was incredible to see how women shopped more passionately than men in that store. When I first laid eyes on Faith, I chose to wait a little bit to fully decide if I was a cowboy boot kind of gal. But the very next day, I turned to Armand and confidently declared, “I want those boots.” So, I returned once again, tried them on AGAIN, and boom! Just like that, they were mine to keep. Ally & Faith together forever—love that!
When I first saw the winning pair...
For the Beyonce Fans.
For the Chappell Roan fans.
Faith comes home.
Thanks to @boot_barn_official, I must say that the entire staff was simply amazing. It's never an easy task to work through a busy Labor Day weekend, but they handled it all with such grace and ease. I suppose that a lively crowd is quite normal for them, which likely helped.
Having spent over 19 years in retail myself, I truly understand how challenging it can be, but they were exceptionally helpful in every way. I received a helpful little 101 lesson on how boots should properly fit, and I was advised more than once not to break them in while on my upcoming trip, along with being encouraged to cherish them fully. I honestly can't wait to break my girls in and take them on adventures. I’m also looking forward to figuring out the perfect outfit for five to pair with them.
Ally & Faith OUT!
There’s something about getting dressed in New York City that makes you rethink your entire wardrobe.
You can leave your apartment in the morning for a coffee run and somehow end up walking three miles, sitting in a café for two hours, running errands, meeting a friend for dinner, and making an impromptu stop somewhere you’ve never been before. Your clothes have to keep up with you.
And honestly? I think getting older has changed the way I think about getting dressed, too.
In my 20s, I was much more willing to buy something simply because I thought it was cute. These days, I want my clothes to be cute and comfortable. I want pieces that can be worn five different ways, shoes I can actually walk in, and a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier instead of more complicated.
