Like I mentioned last week, I want to use a few of my #ootd pictures from Instagram and recreate the looks for your shopping pleasure.
Let's get to gettin', Texas rodeo style, y'all.
Jacket | Dress | Belt | Boots | Bag | Earrings
In Texas, the month of March is known as
official rodeo season. I grew up in the Houston area and went to the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo every year. It's one of the greatest
memories I have from my teenage and college days. The cook-off,
concerts, carnival food, Ferris wheel rides and of course the cowboys define what a rodeo should be and Houston does it up right year after year.
Unfortunately,
we haven't been able to make it to Houston for the rodeo in quite some
time. I just have to live vicariously through everyone's pictures on
Instagram and Facebook.
Fortunately,
Austin has a smaller (much smaller) version of the Houston production
and we do make it out every year for this one. It's actually really nice
because you don't have to fight the crazy crowds and traffic. The musical
performances are no George Strait or Jason Aldean, but you aren't 150
miles away from the stage either. We went earlier this week and
caught the bucking broncs, Eli Young Band, did a little two-steppin' and
ate way to much carnival food. Pizza on a stick anyone?
We
plan on going back Friday night for the cook-off. Again, it's nothing
like the one in Houston, but I am starting to become partial to what
Austin has to offer...less production and more of a good Texas time.
Have you ever been to a rodeo? Do you own a pair of boots? You know, you don't have to live in the South, ride a horse or even like country music to rock a pair. Just sayin'.
Yee-haw, giddy up or ride 'em cowboy.

I love your rodeo look! Went to a rodeo, once. Have never owned cowboy boots, but did borrow a pair of boots and wranglers when I went to a Reba concert in college.
Super cute! I think I can replicate this with what I have already in my closet! Just need me sum boots'!

Never been to the rodeo before. but i love horses. and cowboys are sexy. You so make me wanna go shopping but I'd want you to be my personal helper tho if I did go. You have so many talents it is beyond amazing
I will admit it...I need cowboy boots. I've been on the hunt because I'm loving the whole dress-jean jacket-cowboy boot look. I will find some!
Cute outfit! Love those Kendra Scott earrings!
I own a belt buckle and some Rue 21 boots haha. I tried to be a cowgirl for awhile but was definitely out of place. HOWEVER, I LOVE your outfit. It is perfection!
I own the same dress you are wearing from Express! Love it.
Yess!! Keep these posts coming! Especially once we all start spring shopping (and our warm weather is coming much later than your warm weather)!
I've actually been to one rodeo before...and it was insane!! haha...but super entertaining.
Love the recreations of your outfits each week! yay!
We love going to the rodeo as well! I am just loving your look and really loving your outfit boards too! Boots and dresses are perfect for us Texas girls! Have a great Thursday friend!
LOVE this outfit! Adorable! I am loving that floral dress!
Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a superb job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!

LOVE your outfit, of course - and the similar dress is adorable!! I need a pair of cowgirl boots for country concerts this summer :)

Love this outfit! I think my vintage Frye boots would pass as cowboy-esque!?!
How far is Houston from Austin? I got to Houston all the time but never really venture too far from there. I've been to that big rodeo before but it has been years. I can't remember who performed. Some big country singer (duh) I think. Maybe Tim last name starts with a M?

I used to live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so I've definitely been to a rodeo at the Stockyards. I love this floral dress you have one!

Gosh, I want to go to the Houston Rodeo so badly! My brother in law raves about it every year, and I've got so many friends who's rodeo pics show up on fb every year, and I'm just itching to go!
The floral dress is a great choice!! Ahhh have so much fun!!
I've never been to a rodeo but have always wanted to! I need to get myself a good pair of cowgirl boots. Then I can yee-haw my way into town with you! :)

I just moved to Houston last year and I have been hearing nothing but good things about the famous Rodeo experience! I'll have to try and make it before it ends :)
is it bad that I live in dallas had had no idea the month of march was rodeo season? yes.
Super cute!! We're going to the rodeo on Saturday and I cannot wait!
I go to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo every year. I wanted to go to the Houston rodeo this year because they had a pretty good entertainment line-up but I was worn out from the SA rodeo.
The rodeo is a lot of fun. I have a lot of memories at the rodeo. It's a great experience.

You are the cutest cowgirl i've ever seen!
Looooove the denim and flowery dress combination! So pretty for summer {oh shoot, I want it to be spring so badly that I shot clear past it to summer - it snowed on us last night in New York}.

Love your outfit!
I went to the rodeo at the stockyards in Fort Worth a few years ago and it was AWESOME. I had so much fun! And girl, you know I love my cowboy boots! :)
Love the rodeo outfit! Such a great print on the dress :) I lived in cowboy boots from I think age 14-20, but now mostly wear my Frye boots to work every day, they're not quite so pointy & more comfortable for my old ballerina feet :)
How fun! I have never been to a rodeo (we don't have many in Maine I guess haha!), but I think it would be so exciting to. I love the outfit and even if I don't go to a rodeo any time soon I would love to wear it.
I've been to a rodeo {of the Ohio variety} plenty of country concerts, and lots of livestock fairs... so I'm guessing putting the 3 together...in TX would be fantastic!
And as always, your outfit was perfect!
I have to admit that I totally didn't want to click on your blog today when I saw rodeo - only because I grew up in Dalhart, TX and rodeo's happened all the freakin time and I hated them. haha! however, I decided to look past that and look at the cute outfit you're wearing and I absolutely love it! Iw ill say, however, I'm totally into the bull riding and team roping - those keep me entertained. ha
Love that outfit! I've never been to a rodeo, but always thought it would be fun, although I can just imagine my allergies with all that dust and hay...maybe I'll stay away for a little longer :) Austin seems like such a fun place.
I love these posts! Actually I love all of your posts...but please keep these coming!
Yes I have boots! I hadn't had a pair since elementary school, but bought some for the rodeo last year. They are red and super cute! Great for some two-steppin action!
I've been to a rodeo one time and it was one time too many for me. I absolutely hated it. Oh well. Cowboy boots are awesome but I don't own any. That dress is adorable!!!
I got a Sheplers gift card for my birthday so I am going to buy myself a new pair of cowgirl boots STAT! What's going on Friday at the Austin Rodeo?
Love this outfit, per usual though :)
Love this one!!!
Love this! I need to pull my boots out ASAP!

Love your rodeo look. I'm orginally from Alberta where cowboys and rodeo's are still very popular. Love the boots.

SUCH a cute outfit, as always. And perfect for a rodeo!
Hey there Shanna. I'm sure you look fabulous today. I always know where to come in order to get a smile! :D Gonna let you have my nickname that I had when i was little. My cousin's cousins nicknamed me Smiley b/c that's all i did. :D
This is a perfect summer dress. I need a jean jacket for layering- I threw mine away a couple years ago when they went "out" of style. I should've known everything always comes back in style soon after!
I have been to a rodeo, although it was very small and years ago!
I also have boots, they're pink :) One of my good friends moved to Houston after high school, any time one of 'the girls' gets married, she gifts them a pair of cowboy boots!
I love these posts about recreating outfits from Instagram! I'm not much of a rodeo gal, but I would love an outfit like this for when I head to Nashville for my sister's bachelorette party in August!

LOVE that look!!!!!
i've only been to a rodeo when i lived in south america- it was so fun! love to go to one here!
Never been to a rodeo but cowboy boots are my spring/summer/fall staple. They are just so versatile and make different things appropriate for different seasons!
I've always wanted to go to a rodeo. When I lived in OK, years ago, we had a chance, but never went.
Love the boots. I've been saving up for some...sort of, because then I go to Target and spend my boot money!
Yeeeeehaaaaaw!!! So cute! I looked at your outfit and immediately thought of the movie Urban Cowboy... I think a good pair of cowgirl boots will always make me think of that movie.. haha..We have a rodeo coming up in April and this look is perfect :)
Such an awesome look - I need a pair of cowgirl boots! I don't own any! Is there a brand name or anything you recommend (I sorta assume you are the expert!)- anything less than $150?

Super cute outfit. Can you believe I live in Dallas and Ive never been to a rodeo!
I love this look! I've always wanted to own a pair of official cowboy boots. Looks like a trip to Texas is in order!
Love love love that floral dress. I go down to Atlantic City every year for a beer festival...and the rodeo is always that same weekend. So, I've been in the area of a rodeo...haha. I think that might be as close as I'll ever get.

Cute outfit, my friend! I love cowboy boots. Such a staple in my eyes! Hope you have fun tonight!

I have been to the rodeo when it came to Nashville but there was no dancing. Just watched people get thrown off bulls and me thinking they are really whacked to do such an activity after bawling my eyes out watching 8 Seconds several years prior.
This rodeo look is so fun-love it!!! Boots are awesome!
