Employee Picks – Sandra

Up this week in our employee picks series, Sandra. Sandra picked one of my all time favorite boots to feature in this outfit. The Ariat Women’s Shada 10″ Cowboy Boots in Peanut Briddle have been on my wish list all year. Not only are they stylish, but they are made with the ATS ™ technology which helps reduce weakness in the foot and cushions the foot for a more comfortable fit. Sandra said she picked these boots because they go great with the natural multi print of the shirt.

 Speaking of that shirt, Beachcomber Lizzer Gauze Top by Lucky Brand. This 100% cotton top is easy to wear from both a style and a comfort standpoint. Sandra said, “The shirt is simple but flirty, very comfortable and love natural multi print.”

 For the jeans, Sandra picked Cruel Girl Women’s Alysa Low Rise Slim Boot Leg Jeans. When asked why, she said, “These jeans are so cute. I love the medium stonewash color and especially the fading in it.”

 Finishing off the look is this Silver Tone 4 strand necklace set by Cindy Smith. This silver tone bead necklace comes with matching dangle silver tone bead earrings. “Love the Cindy Smith necklace set and it give the right look you need.” Well said Sandra.

Wear It: Headache

Today I’m featuring Joey + Rory’s video “Headache” and I’m focusing on Joey’s second outfit in the video. I could not love this royal blue shirt more. It’s a simple outfit, button up and jeans but it’s all about the color ladies! That blue is the standout. Check it out:

So here’s how I’d do it Langston’s style:

Pin It

Roper Women’s Long Sleeve Solid Western Snap Shirt – Royal
Kender West Random Snap Rocker Bracelet
Nocona Women’s Western Scalloped Crystal Belt – Brown
Wrangler Women’s Rock 47 Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans – Lincoln Lace
Corral Women’s Laser Cut Overlay Cowboy Boots – Chocolate Truffle/Sand

I love having everything besides the shirt be sort of subdued…a brown bracelet, belt and boots. And yet they are each unique in their own way. The belt with it’s sparkle, the boots with their tooled leather and the bracelet’s studs. And of course the royal blue snap shirt is KEY!! I would definitely wear this outfit…would you?

Stocking Stuffers?

Am I the only one on the planet who already has my eye open for stocking stuffers? This Ariat Belt is begging to be stuffed into a stocking…and then proudly worn with every pair of pants and jeans in the closet!

Speaking of stocking stuffers….do you think these Corral boots will fit in mine?

Unrelated to stocking stuffers…A friend sent me this image which she saw on Pinterest yesterday…

Similar vest by Powder River. All you need now is the stripped shirt and you can create the same look. That’s what I am here for you guys….see it, love it, recreate it. All in a days work right? Do tell, are you digging this look?!?!

Well y’all there are no major albums coming out today but I do want to keep you up to speed with some new singles that have recently come out.

First up, The Scientist. This is Willie Nelson doing a cover of Coldplay! Chipotle Mexican Grill commissioned both a movie and Nelson’s performance to emphasize the importance of developing sustainable food systems. And seeing as how Willie Nelson is a founder of Farm Aid, you can see why he’d be involved. Great song, great cover. Go check it out.

The Scientist, Willie Nelson

Next is a new one by Vince Gill. It’s been quite a while since we heard Vince Gill! He’ll be coming out with a new album later this year in which his entire family can be heard somewhere on the album. This is his first single off that album and I think we can definitely say Vince Gill is BACK.

Threaten Me With Heaven, Vince Gill

Lastly, I’ve got some new Kenny Chesney for you. Rise Up is a new song available on iTunes that coincides with ESPN’s new show of the same name, Rise Up. The show visits ailing high school athletic facilities as they are given makeovers. Kinda cool, eh? And this seems to fit right in with Kenny Chesney’s love of football. Per the Chesney camp we probably won’t hear this song on the radio as it was just written as the theme song for the show, but like I said, it is available on iTunes for purchase.

Rise Up, Kenny Chesney

So will you be purchasing any of these, or have you already? I’ve actually been listening to The Scientist over the last week or so and am loving it. Time to purchase the new Vince song as well as check out Chesney’s song/show.

Wardrobe Staple

There are a few items that are wardrobe staples. Everyone should own them. A basic denim jacket is one of those items. This Women’s Trucker Jacket by Levi’s in Blue Thunder is perfect for year round wear.

You can throw this jacket on over an every day t-shirt, pair it with a button down or even toss it on with your favorite sundress.

This Fall try it with long skirts, a simple tee and a statement necklace for a bold new look. Add some boots and you are all set.

Panhandle Slim Women’s Long Sleeve Floral Print Western Snap Shirt – Brown,Cowgirl Justice Women’s Floral Sun Dress, Cowgirl Justice Women’s Rebel Cowgirl Short Sleeve Overstitched Tee Shirt, Derek Heart Women’s Cap Sleeve Lace T-Shirt – Black/White, Cindy Smith Women’s 7 Strand Orange Beaded Necklace and Earring Set,Corral Women’s Goat Cowboy Boots with Stitched Vamp and Tube – Black

We have several denim jackets for the men too. Wrangler, Cinch and  Levi’s all make denim jackets for the fellas.

For both ladies and men, when pairing a denim jacket with jeans, try for a variation in the color of the denim. Adding a bright colored shirt helps to break up the look as well.

Is a denim jacket already one of your wardrobe staples? If not, will you add it as one now? Let me know!

Employee Pick – Lindsey

Ok…this outfit is completely ready to wear. Where? Anywhere. The fair is here in OKC right now and this would easily work for a night there, but it would also be a great pick for movie night, date night or a casual work look. I love Lindsey’s picks.

Pin It


Lindsey said that she wanted to go with a darker denim to draw your eyes to the boots and top. For that same reason she went with simple silver hoop earrings. I think a lot of outfits need attention getting bling, but I agree with Lindsey that the star of the show here is the top. As far as the denim, dark is usually my go to. I like how it can be both dressy and casual depending on what you pair it with. Lucky Brand Lola jeans are one of my favs. I like the darker color and the boot cut fit.

As far as the top, Lindsey said “I love the shimmery grey lace and the cut on the neckline.” This Ariat top is flattering on lots of different builds and is the perfect cool tone color for Fall and Winter. Paired with it are Wild Ginger Lane Boots. Lindsey loved “the pattern on the boots and that they black and grey go with the top.”

What do you think? Is this a look you could and would rock? Where would you wear it?

Wear It: Hell On Heels

Are y’all sick of me talking about the Pistol Annies yet? I know I know, I just love them! I’ve been listening to their album pretty much non-stop since it came out. Their latest single and video, Hell On Heels shows a variety of outfits throughout and I gotta say, I love them all.  Check it out:

So what do y’all think? Love their style? I especially love the denim dress, chunky belt and boots Miranda Lambert is wearing midway through. If I was going for a Pistol Annies look, here’s how I’d do it the Langston’s way:

Pin It

Cowgirl Justice Women’s Denim Snap Shirt Dress
Western Charm Women’s Cross and Heart Charm Necklace and Earring Set
Iron Horse Women’s Toro Belt with Buckle – Brown
Corral Women’s Eagle Stitched Distressed Crackle Saddle Boots – Tan

Not a ton of bold color, but definitely big, bold accessories and some snazzy boots. Do you think I could be the fourth Annie with this outfit? Just call me Langston’s Annie!

1 shirt, 3 looks

I love a shirt that can do double duty…or triple duty!

This Men’s Long Sleeve Western Plaid Snap Shirt by Roper in Green is a great example of one shirt that can be worn many ways.

This shirt works great open over a patterned or solid tee. Leave it untucked and roll the sleeves. Wear it with shirts, kaki pants or jeans. An easy, casual look for everyday wear.

Levi’s ® Men’s Speed Short Sleeve T-Shirt or Men’s Dickies Solid Short Sleeve Wicking Pocket Tee Shirt Need a more poilished look? Try pairing this shirt with a vest, sweater or blazer.

Powder River Men’s Wool Vest – Dark Brown

And of course, you can’t go wrong leaving this shirt as the star and just pairing it with good jeans and boots…

Today’s release might be one that you would have missed had you not come to this here blog today…Tony Bennett has a new album out today called Duets II. On this album he does the following duets with some of our favorite country artists:

Blue Velvet with k.d. lang
On the Sunny Side of the Street with Willie Nelson
The Way You Look Tonight with Faith Hill
It Had to Be You with Carrie Underwood

For me it’s always a treat to hear my favorite singers perform some of the old songs we all know and love. One of my absolute favorites is The Way You Look Tonight, so I’m thrilled that Tony Bennett decided to pair up with Faith Hill for this one.

Keeping company with these country artists on this album are some well knowns such as John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Andrea Bocelli, Lady GaGa….just to name a few. Will you be checking this album out?
