Cowboys don’t cry, a Shoe Dilemma
We have all heard the saying “Dress for the Job you want, not the Job you have!”
This is a daily dilemma for me; you could almost call it a ritual. Every morning I open my eyes and start putting together the perfect outfit. One of a fashion hungry A-List celebrity. I start at the top and work down to my feet.
Here is where the frustration begins; I am a hair stylist, first I need to look professional, second I am standing on my feet between 8 and 10 hours a day. That’s not comfortable in any high heel or Flat for more than 4 hours. So I have two options: change shoes every 2 hours or find something that is Fashionable and Functional.
I’ve Fallin in love with these;Nocona White Calf ,not ony do they hold my ankles secure for the day, but the are large enough for my wide calves.(16inch calf) Nocona Boots run true to size and comfort.
When you first get them you will think, this boots look really narrow. That is what is amazing thing about them . They are comfortable, and fashionable; they make your feet and calfs look sleek and petite. Not an easy task for a white boot!
Cowboy boots have answered alot of my fashion dilemmas simply by being classic. If you are going to invest in a classic cowboy boot. Spend money with the companies that work for real CowBoys, not just wanna be cowboys in designer boutiques!
Fashion Dynast Note:
I trust any of the Justin Brands, Tony Lama , Nocona
Great for wide Calves
Most of the sizing runs true, but it is always good to try before you buy.
The Sale is Real
If you follow my Instagram then you have noticed my shoe obsession.
These Ferragamo Moccasins are now 30% off
I kind of rock them with everything!
They are very comfortable especially for standing ten hours at a time.
Fashion Dynast Note:
I’m a 39 in the Flat, it’s a soft leather so you could go true to size, this way with a half size bigger I skipped the break in
I got a guy
Me: Look at these beautiful shoes
Kyle: Who is texting you shoes ?

This guy is unstoppable, and unbelievably fashionable. Most people think I dress him. That couldn’t be further from the truth. He is usually dressing me. It’s always a simple nod and ” babe, your trying to hard!” He knows how to get the best out of me.
I like to add to his closet so he always has the chance to make interesting choices! Found a rad Instagram for custom shirts and Mens Fashion!
Led me to Bull and Tassel Same low Profile as a classic smoking slipper, but he has support and grip!
