Be Honest - Too Country??

Tara · Dooney & Bourke

I really love your new boots! I like outfit #2 the best. The blouse in #1 makes the outfit a little too "country", I think. I love the blouse separately, but tucked into a pencil skirt - not with jeans. #3 is ok, but I have seen you pull together better outfits in the past.

I really like country-ish boots used in an ironic way - with really girl-y shirts (much like your #2).

ok, I am in Texas and the country girls I see are not wearing anything like those jeans or those pretty tops with their boots. Those boots are beautiful, by the way.

jj · Kate Spade

I agree, #1 is too country and I LOVE #2. I would like #3 with a cool/chunky necklace.

Some other cute long sleeve tops could be...

berenson tee botanical sash top

i like all those outfits! they are not too country at all.

if you think that #1 is a little country, add an urban element to it to make it not so western. like a velvet blazer or a tough rock and roll studded belt.

maybe i'm just a cowgirl at heart.

No, super cute!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

The outfits are fine. Since the boots or the top doesn't have that country motif stitching, it's not too cowgirl.

Mandy · Kate Spade

i love outfit #2. i don't think #1 is too country either, i would just be careful with accessories- no cowboy hats :)

NCshopper · Hermes

I like the second outfit the best. The first one is a little too country looking to me, but with the right accessories it could work. I think some modern jewelry and the right purse would make it look just fine.

Claudia · Gucci

very cute outfits! They all look fine!

Sunshinegirl · Kate Spade

I love all of your outfits. Okay, i never pay attention to the boot post since i live in florida and would wear them so little. However, my husband and i are thinking of buying a condo in the snowy West so a pair of boots might be in order. I really like the ones you ordered. Who are they, wear are they and how much if you dont mind me asking.

Rica · Kenneth Cole

Giddy up, cowgirl! Haha jk, I think all three outfits are adorable. Dang those boots are gorgeous. You'll look so fab this fall! Way to be.

bean · Kenneth Cole

#1 might be a little too country, with the ruffly blouse. I love the other outfits though, esp. the middle one. That brown top is sooo cute. And I love your boots.

cat · Marc Jacobs

I love outfit #2.also #3 is cute. Love those boots!

kisa · Dooney & Bourke

I like no.1 and the rest, but I think I would add this target sweater thinger to no. 1.
target!

I really like both #2 and #3, and the tops could be any color, obviously! Those jeans and boots really are fab!

daiz519 · Dooney & Bourke

I'm in love with those boots!!!! Can you tell me how they fit? True to size? Are they comfty? let me know :)

honey · Gucci

i like them all esp. #1, but i love that gap top. i agree with dot. if you're concerned add some extra accessories that aren't so country. like if you added a long chunky necklace to #1 (like a kukui nut one) it would instantly become funky instead of country.

Thanks everyone. I would definetly add a necklace to the first one, I should have posted that. The boots are Fryes and they haven't arrived yet. I ordered them Monday. I'll be sure to post a review as soon as the UPS man drops them off!! Thanks again.
