Employee Picks

Up this week is Debbie with a great outfit. I know you shop us for jeans, but have you ever checked out our dresses? This outfit is all about the dress. This Wrangler Women’s Rock 47 V-Neck Dresscan be worn so many different ways. Debbie pairs it with boots, Women’s Ariat Heritage Western Boots – Vintage Caramel, for a great Fall look. In the summer, it could easily pair with some sandals. Want to wear it into the Spring, try adding a cardigan over it. For winter add some tights, or even try it over some jeggings. The v-neck cut of this dress allows this Cindy Smith Women’s Dark Silver Tone Three Strand Necklace and Earring Set to shine.

When asked about this outfit, Debbie said “I love this dress. Seriously, I have no words!” I love it when people get excited about clothes. Yes, it is what is on the inside that counts, but that is no reason not to have fun with what is on the outside too!! Debbie lists these boots as her favorites and thinks they pair well with the dress. I agree! She picked the necklace for the same reason I liked it with this dress. The neckline allows the necklace to stand out.

Thanks Debbie!

Up this week with an outfit pick is Christy.

Let’s start at the top….Christy picked this Cindy Smith Women’s 3 Strand Turquoise Necklace and Earring Set. This matching turquoise necklace and earring set features a three strand turquoise necklace as well as matching earrings. Christy said, ” I love the necklace because of the three different strands, the texture and the turquoise stone brings it all together.” This set works well paired with a button down, like the Roper Women’s Long Sleeve Paisley Print Snap Shirt that Christy picked, but it also works with solid knits or basic cotton. It’s very versatile.

Christy paired the button down with these Levi’s ® Juniors 524 ™ Boot Cut Jeans. I also think it would be great with some black pants or jeans.  She said, ” I picked this shirt because of the ocean blue color and the warm tone paisley print. The jeans are very comfortable and the dark blue compliments the ocean blue in the shirt. ”

As for boots, Christy went with Ariat, the Women’s Legend Boots. About the boots she said, ” I picked the boots because of the color which brings out the brown in the shirt. ”

Thanks for a great pick Christy!

Ali & an Ariat Boot Giveaway!!

The first pair of boots that Ali chose were these harness style boots. They are an 8″ shaft, welt construction, non-removable comfort insole system, leather lining, full grain leather and shaft, and a harness around the shaft. These are not only comfortable and durable, but stylish and fresh as well.

Ariat Women’s Coloma 8″ Harness Boots – Diesel Chocolate

Next Ali picked these 13″ boots with a shattered marble leather out sole, X toe shape with rose and vine embroidery on the foot and shaft. I think the design on these is so “Ali”. I can pickture her easily rocking them. Plus, since they are made with ATS ® technology to support your foot while wearing them by reducing fatigue and step shock, she can wear them during a show and never get tired of being on her feet!

Country Chic

Hi! My name is Michelle and I am a new blogger for my friend’s here at Langston’s. I may be an urban planner in the city these days, but don’t let that fool ya. I am a country girl through and through. I still have my southern drawl, pepper my sentences with y’all and listen to country music.

One of my favorite country artists is none other than Keith Urban. My mom and I had the pleasure of meeting him back in 2009 and Friday night we attended his concert in Charlotte, NC. The best part about the concert (well, besides Keith himself) was definitely the people watching. Cowboy boots are a necessity for any country music concert and this one was no exception. Lucky for you Langston’s is your source for stylish cowboy boots perfect for everything from concerts to cookouts. 

Pair these pink boots with everything from a frilly dress to jeans and tee for your chicest country style.

These floral boots would look country cute with a white sundress for summer concerts.

Looking for an everyday boot? Look no further than this one from Ariat, perfect for all occasions.

Now do tell, who is your favorite country music star?

Camels, Chocolate and Ariat Boots!?!?

Our friend Kristin from Camels and Chocolate is on a road trip. Last week she was in Nebraska and stopped at Carhenge.

 

Very cool. She won’t make it to Oklahoma on this leg of her trip, but promises to stop by in the Fall when she is back on the road. Even though she isn’t in OK, we thought her journey through the mid-west needed some kick…

TheseAriat Women’s Tombstone Cowboy Boots – Turquoise/Brown Gator Print should work for adding some kick! What do you think? Do you like Kristin’s new kicks? Want some for yourself? This pair, or any pair of Ariat Boots…women’s or men’s…head over to Camels and Chocolate to enter!
