Our Feeble Attempt at Western Day...

I admit it, I have never been one for wearing cowboy attire. Don't get me wrong--some people really wear it well and look cute in the whole boots, hat, jeans, and starched shirt. I grew up with lots of friends who dressed in all of the attire. We grew up in a rural area and the boots and hats were standard for our school that was heavily populated with FFA members. I know what makes a good "western day" outfit, but my kids have never owned boots, hats, or the right kind of jeans for that. So, when they were supposed to dress like cowboys/cowgirls on Thursday, this was the best we could do:

I know....Carson's shirt from The Children's Place and Laiken's "cowboy" hat from The Gap are not really cutting it, but it's what we had. They both thought they looked cute and I'm not sure that they even know that they were not really looking very western!
