This summer has been an epic one for me. Getting to travel all over Europe, add new states to my visited list, and make a random trip into Canada has definitely made this summer one of my favorites. While I would love to pack my suitcase and go on another summer adventure, school is starting next week and it’s time to get back into teacher mode and settle back into my routine.

I’m sad to see summer end, but there are so many things I love about fall and this back-to-school time of the year. Mostly, I love fall weather compared to hot Louisiana summers. I wouldn’t mind seeing the temperatures start to drop a bit (even thought we are having a cold front right now.. 72 degrees!! Wooo!). I also love meeting a new group of students and starting the school year fresh. Starting a new year is always so exciting and one of my favorite things about being a teacher (and I love all the school supplies!). And then there’s always fall TV shows, pumpkins spice lattes, cozy cardigans, pretty leaves, and, of course, football.

So I bet you’re wondering about my outfit and what it has to do with fall. When most people think of cowboy boots and dresses, they automatically think Taylor Swift circa 2006. Now y’all know I love me some TSwift, but cowboy boots with dresses takes my brain in a whole different direction and makes me a little nostalgic for football season. Come fall in Baton Rouge, cowgirl boots are a LSU tailgating staple. Something about cowboy boots makes me giddy for cool fall Saturdays, the leaves changing colors on campus, and just having a good time all day long with old and new friends. Maybe cowgirl boots are just southern chic, but cowgirl boots are also a timeless trend that can really be paired with the most trendy pieces for a fresh look.

This mustard yellow woven cami dress is perfect for LSU football (or with its longer length, add a cardigan and you’re ready for work!) These short cowgirl boots from Country Outfitter paired with the dress make it even more tailgating ready, and I’d fit right in on campus. Cowgirl boots are just comfortable for walking around, hopping from tailgate to tailgate, and being on your feet all day.
