It is officially Rodeo season in Texas!  Every year in February and March rodeo fever invades this great state with Livestock Shows and Rodeos happening all over.  Fort Worth is currently in the middle of their show, followed by San Antonio, and then rounding out the bunch is the Houston Rodeo.  I have talked before about the Houston Rodeo here and here.  It’s basically a carnival, a rodeo featuring things like bull riding and barrel racing, concerts, shopping, and lots of fun food.  My friends and I are big fans of the wine garden too.  You can often find us there grabbing a glass before we head into the concert.

Over the next few weeks, I wanted to share a few outfit ideas for what to wear to the rodeo.  While most people immediately think cowboy boots, I wanted to share an outfit for those of you who may not be ready to shell out a couple hundred for a pair.  I think these taupe over the knee boots are perfect for a little wine garden and concert action.  I would make sure if you wear a heeled boot that they are comfortable for hours of walking.  Sometimes just getting from your car to the entrance is a long walk.  On weeknights, my friends and I usually go after work for just a couple hours, so heeled boots are an option for these nights since we do not walk around too much.  I wanted to give a little bit of a rustic western feel, so I paired them with my plaid top. I think the two together with a fun pendant necklace create the perfect Houston rodeo outfit.  If you are heading to cookoff this year, I would not recommend wearing these suede boots.  The smoke coming off all the bbq pits is really strong.  I usually have to wash my clothes a couple times to get the strong smell out.  It’s why I wouldn’t recommend these boots or any other item that may be hard to wash.  You could easily swap them with a pair of leather riding boots for cookoff.  Don’t worry I will share an idea or two of what to wear to the rodeo cookoff too, so stay tuned!
