Wear It: You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Have you heard Miley Cyrus did a remake of a Bob Dylan song? Yep, it’s called You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. The song is featured on ‘Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International,’ a four-disc charity compilation album out Jan. 24. Check out her version of the old Dylan song:

Honestly I was surprised, I’m definitely used to her pop side, so to hear her sing something like this is AWESOME. She’s so versatile! This song is pretty low key and chill, just like her outfit. Here’s how I’d recreate that laid back look:

Lucky Women’s Holiday Henley Thermal Top – Black
Rock and Roll Cowgirl Women’s Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans with Hand Stitching
Ariat Women’s Amora Boots – Shattered Copper/Tan

I know she’s got a sleeveless shirt on, but it is still technically winter so… Her outfit is very basic and cool, so I went with your basic henley, Rock and Roll brand jeans (how could I not??) and some boots that you could wear with EVERYTHING.

What do y’all think of her outfit and the song?

What I wore…

For today, I am going to limit this to my boots. I will show you my selection of jeans and tops another day! Ok…so boots. I have 5 pairs of boots, plus some.

Ariat Shada 10″ Cowboy Boot – This is my newest boot. I love the shorter height. I pair it with chunky knit socks and wear them over leggings and jeggings. I also like wearing them under boot cut jeans. The shorter shaft makes them really comfortable and they rub less on my calves than some other boots. I have to name these the most versatile boot in my closet.

Dan Post Maria 13″ Boot -Mine are many years old – so this link is not exact, but close. Mine are Dan Post. They are my only black boots and my first pair. I don’t wear them as much anymore, but being that they were my first, they will always hold a place in my heart!

Corral Women’s Stitched Boots – Desert Red – Who knew red could be so versatile?!? I love these. They are probably my #2 boot as far as how often I wear them.

Lane Boots – Old Mexico – These are fun for so many reasons. They are great in Spring and Summer with a white skirt or dress. Very Boho hippie in a way that I love. And they are Thunder colors so I can wear them to OKC Thunder games in the Fall and Winter and show the team some love.

Dan Post Women’s Taylor 12″ Boot – I wear my tall brown ones much the same ways as I do my short ones – over jeggings, under boot cut jeans – these go with anything and everything.

Not pictured…

Minnetonka Moccasin Knee High Fringe Boots – These are for those days you need comfortable sassy…I pair them with a cozy white sweater and black leggings. Comfort with attitude.

Minnetonka Moccasin Thunderbird Beaded Moc – I just got my first pair of Moc and am wearing them today. Talk about comfort! And the beading gives just the right amount of detail. I like these with jeans and a plain white or black tee.

Yea…ok….so I have a bit of a shoe problem. This doesn’t even take into account my heels and ballet flats!

What he wore

I was sitting here trying to decide what to write abut this week and I looked over and saw this….

These are my husbands new boots. H has been wearing them more days than not. They are the Ariat Rambler Cowboy Boot. There are a lot of reasons that this is a great go-to daily boot. It is rugged and tough…but not too much so. It still has clean lines and structure to it. He works in a casual office, so he needs some of that. But, he wears jeans daily, so he needs a boot that is casual and not too dressy. The shorter vamp and square toe make these boots extremely easy to wear and comfortable. Plus these boots have ATS technology which gives three times the support of normal cowboy boots. The Ariat Rambler’s EVA footbed and forefoot cushion gel reduces stress on hips, knees and back. Seriously, these are a great casual boots to wear daily…out tending to horses or inside pushing papers.

You might ask what he wears them with?!?!

Right now these Rock and Roll Cowboy Slim Fit Boot Cut Jeans top the rotation.

As far as shirts -the closet has plenty of plaid buttons downs hanging in it. My current favorite to see him in is this Lucky Men’s Camino Plaid Shirt. I love the detail on the pockets with the double snap.

Thanks everyone who entered to win an Ali Dee T-shirt. We love supporting our friends in the country western community and we love that you guys love Ali as much as we do.

Melissa is our winner! Look for an e-mail from me Melissa.

Melissa’s comment told us that this is her tee pick…

Great pick Melissa! I would layer it under a denim shirt this winter letting the lettering show through. In the summer, pair it with boots and a denim skirt for sure!

Wear It: You Gonna Fly

Keith Urban came out with a new video this week, You Gonna Fly. It’s a concert montage type of video, which I always enjoy, specifically from Keith Urban. I’ll tell you why… I’ve been to a Keith Urban concert and he puts on the best. concert. ever. If you weren’t a fan going into the concert, you will be coming out. He generally likes to throw caution to the wind and walk out into the crowd and just play his music with all that energy around him. Here check out the video:

So let’s get talking about Keith Urban’s style. It’s super casual, always jeans and t-shirts. Here’s how I’d formulate a Langston’s style Keith Urban outfit. You can obviously change up the color tee and color of the boot, but I’d definitely say this is Keith’s “uniform”.

Men’s Dickies Short Sleeve Solid Performance Henley
Rock and Roll Cowboy Men’s Slim Fit Boot Cut Pistol Jeans with Heavy Stitching
Dingo Men’s Dean 11″ Harness Boots – Black

So what do you think? Would you rock this look?

I do my own stunts…

Last week my 5 year old son had a friend over. Two boys running out of control in our home. Playing tag was the hit of the day, well, that and basketball on our Nerf hoop. I can’t tell you the number of times I heard “ouch”…but neither needed any major care, not even minor care. Those kids are tough. And I think they both need this Cinch Boy’s Tee.

I’ve wondered if girls are easier than boys…but then I remember girl’s are filled with sas!

Cowgirl Justice Tee

While browsing the girl’s tees, I saw this one. Anyone out there from Shawnee, OK? You need this tee by Cruel Girl.

Wear It: Baggage Claim

Did y’all catch this performance of Miranda Lambert’s Baggage Claim at the 2011 CMA Awards? It’s now become her official video for Baggage Claim. Miranda always has fun outfits and I think she looks great in black…go check it out.

I love the black outfit with those pops of silver she has in her wide belt and jacket. And you know what they always say ladies…black is very slimming! This is how I’d go about putting together a black and silver outfit, Langston’s style.

Witness Women’s Long Sleeve Layering Burn Out T-Shirt – Black (Closeout)
Cindy Smith Women’s Rhinestone Cross Ring (Closeout)
Levi’s ® 524 ™ Women’s Skinny Jeans – Black Pressed (Discontinued)
Corral Women’s Cowboy Boots with Silver Star Underlay – Black

So that’s how I’d do a silver and black outfit. Those boots are a MUST and you can either add a silver belt like Miranda or a big chunky necklace, or bracelet or like we’ve selected a big ring. In the words of Miranda Lambert’s Baggage Claim, come and get it!

Let us know if you have a favorite outfit you want us to recreate!!

Ali to host Texas Awards Show

Our friend Ali Dee is hosting the 2nd Annual Texas Regional Radio and Music Awards on March 25th.  Congrats Ali! I know we will all be watching! And I can’t wait to see what you wear!!! All award shows need a good after party with a fun dress. I think this Panhandle Slim dress would look great on Ali.

I think it is sometimes nice to leave a low neckline alone and keep the jewelry on the ears  or wrists instead. I think this Cindy Smith Cuff and Cindy Smith Ring would work perfectly with the dress.

I thought it would be nice to start out the new year with a great start…something inspiring! Dierks Bentley has just that song/video. And his style is something any guy can achieve.  It’s a super casual look with some basic pieces you all need to have in your closet. Check out the video:

Inspiring, yes? Kinda tugs on the heart strings, yes? Dierks has that everyday casual look DOWN and he looks GOOD! He’s just got jeans, a tee, a jean jacket (a MUST HAVE) and boots. He’s also got those curls in his hair that are quite cute if I do say so myself. Ok, back to the clothes! Here’s how I’d do it Langston’s style:

Levi’s ® Men’s New Fit Trucker Jacket – Rigid
Men’s Dickies Short Sleeve Solid Performance Henley
Rock and Roll Cowboy Men’s Relaxed Fit Boot Cut Double Barrel Jeans
Corral Men’s Distressed Black Boots with Gold Wings and Silver Crosses

You can’t see his boots in this video so I picked some that looked a little rock n roll! What do you think? Would you WEAR IT?
