Mad Men Gone Country

How great is this Mad Men-ish Stetson Women’s Stretch Denim Western Dress with Waist Tie?

I love this dress with a big fun necklace….but it would also be fun with a bright belt in place of the matching one. An easy way to get 2 looks with one dress. My favorite part of this dress has to be the pockets. I am a sucker for pockets on a dress.

This looks is both retro and current. I see it in Mad Men, I see it a few years ago (check out this pic of Reese from last summer) and I see it today. It is an easy go to look for everyone. Comfy, classic, cool.

 

 

Wear It: Springsteen

Eric Church…he’s been in the news lately so I figured I’d keep it current. Ha! If you haven’t heard about all the Eric Church drama that has gone down, here’s a little synopsis for you. So now that we are all VERY aware of who Eric Church is, let’s check out his current single, Springsteen. It’s good y’all. And he looks GOOD y’all. Check it.

It’s a good song yes? His outfit is so casually easy. I love his throwback to Springsteen with the flag scarf. You can get Church’s same type of look right here!

Men’s Dickies Short Sleeve Solid Performance Henley
Rock & Roll Cowboy Men’s Relaxed Fit Double Barrel Western Jeans
Wrangler Men’s Riggs Canvas Flannel Lined Jacket
Corral Men’s Distressed Black Boots with Gold Wings and Silver Crosses
Justin Men’s Mossy Oak Camo Cap

So what is your stance on all the Eric Church drama? What do you think of his style?

The Voice

We are getting down to the wire here. Tonight 8 become 4.

Team Adam is by far my favorite. I don’t want to see Tony or Katrina go home. Seriously. I love them both. If we are going just on voice, Katrina has it. But as far as which CD I want to jam to in my car, it’s Tony…well, and Katrina too. Seriously. Love both. I think Adam will stick with Katrina, but I think it will be a really, real hard call for him.

As far as Team Adam fashion…Adam’s shirt had kind of the same vibe going on as this Rock & Roll Cowboy Men’s Long Sleeve Plaid Snap Shirt.

Katrina looked amazing in classic black and Tony was flanked by girls in Red and Black. This Rock & Roll Cowgirl Women’s Sleeveless Peasant Top with Embroidery is my ode to them.

Team Blake. Erin and Jermain. I think both are solid, but my guess is that Jermain makes it through. Erin was sweet though. I loved her show of emotion.

As far as Team Blake from a fashion perspective, Blake had on a red plaid shirt similar to this 90 Proof Men’s Long Sleeve Western Plaid Snap Shirt with Applique in a few scenes and Jermain rocked it out in classic white, like this Men’s Cinch LS Oxford Pinpoint Button Down Shirt.

Team Christina. Oh Christina. A tiara and a leotard and you weren’t even performing. Wow. That lady loves some bling. We need to get her in a pair of Miss Me Jeans stat.

As far as her team, I get that Chris has a great voice. I get it, I just don’t want to buy it. Are we going just on voice, or on the next possible star? His performance was a fire hazard too, I’m just sayin’. But then there is Lindsey who I am not a fan of. No idea here who should or will go home.

Team CeeLo. Ah, he had a cat shirt on with a picture of his rented cat on it. I wonder what happened to the real cat. Maybe he got a better gig. Jamar did great. He always rocks it out. I thought it was an odd song choice, but that he did it well. I don’t have a purple jacket to show you, but how about this Roper Men’s Long Sleeve Solid Western Snap Shirt? I love this look.

And I missed Juliet. Darn Tornado warnings! I was kind of irked that instead of a costume change they just threw a denim shirt over her dress for the group song. Lazy. Even though I didn’t hear her, I know she will move on.

I’ll be back to update before I publish. One of my favs is headed home, just not sure which one yet!

I totally forgot about the judges votes being combined with America’s. I think Blake and Christina both kind of wimped out. I see their point able not being able to pick and wanting to give the viewers the chance, but no. Just pick. You are a judge and it is your job. Adam did, and had good reasons. CeeLo did, probably because the cat told him to.

Anyway…Chris – Really? Wow. Shocked me. Tony – YAY!!! Jermain – figured. Juliet – of course.

 

New Music Releases

Today Carrie Underwood’s fourth album Blown Away comes out. “Good Girl”, “Blown Away”, and “Two Black Cadillacs” are definitely the stand outs to me. She’s got a lot of statement songs on here. Her first single off the album, “Good Girl”, was co-written by Carrie herself. In fact, eight of the fourteen songs were co-written by Carrie, including “Two Black Cadillacs”. In “Cupid’s Got a Shotgun”, Brad Paisley does a little guitar work for Carrie. The last song on the album, “Who You Are”, was written by Shania Twain’s ex, Mutt Lange. “Forever Changed” is a song about Alzheimer’s.

It’s a very powerful album, and just what you can expect from Carrie Underwood. She never fails to impress, go check it out for sure.

Had you previewed this album already? It was live streaming last week on iTunes, as a special treat! If so, tell me what your favorite off the album is so far.
