I’m going to go ahead and confess something to you. In an alternate life, I would have loved to have been a country music star. Like picture Loretta Lynn meets the wardrobe of Rachel Bilson on the (embarrassingly addictive) show Hart of Dixie. Blame it on the fact that I spent a good deal of time growing up with my Southern grandparents who listened to old country tunes on AM radio but I just seem to have a deeply instilled love for short swingy skirts, gingham and cowboy boots (these ones a score from a thrift store back in New York – most likely because no one else there wanted dusty old cowboy boots the way I did). And even though these days I’m singing along to country songs down the busy freeways of Los Angeles – the look remains. You can take the girl out of the country…J.Crew Factory Gingham Shirt // Urban Outfitters Dress // H&M Scarf – similar here // Thrifted Cowboy Boots // Bag via TJ Maxx

I’m a country girl at heart too! Growing up in West Virginia and North Carolina, I loved my childhood! And i absolutely love this look!
Thanks so much Chelsea – my family always vacationed on the Outer Banks when I was a kid so I have fond North Carolina memories 😉
So cute – I love this!!
Thanks girl 🙂
I love the boots, they have character. What a great memory to have listening to country music, which always tells a story and now you have yours too! ( I would have loved to be a country singer too, duet?)
Ha I’m definitely down for a duet Chelsea! We should go karaoke singing sometime! 🙂
You definitely look like a country singer – good way to keep occupied on those long 405 drives! Those cowboy boots are so cute and I love the high ponytail xx Kat
