    I wore out my pair of cowboy boots (is that even possible?) and now 4 kids later I’m thinking its time to get mama a new pair of boots.

    I want to win because I have NEVER owned a pair of cowboy boots and I think that’s RIDICULOUS considering I’ve lived in Georgia for almost five years now.

    I live in the great south and I’ve got the hair for a southern girl but I could never afford the boots! Those are so precious and I want those boots so badly! Every girl from the great state of Texas deserves a pair, so I think I qualify. (:

    There’s nothing like a pair of cowboy boots to make you feel sassy and confident. No idea why, but I seriously feel stronger and sexier in a pair of cowboy boots than any other kind of footwear/apparel.

    I have been dying for a new pair of boots, I am even willing to sell all my other shoes just to buy more boots, but as a typical poor college student with a small part time job–buying boots in unfortunately the least of my priorities. I feel like myself when I wear cowboy boots–they’re my feet solemates 😉

    When you put on a new pair of cowboy boots, your confidence goes through the roof. You stand a little straighter and you just have this smile on your face, and winning a new pair would be great to have that feeling again.

    Whenever I wear a pair of cowgirl boots I feel like I can conquer the world. I love the sound that they make when I walk, the clicking on the concrete. It’s a beautiful thing! I feel hott in a pair of boots! Can’t wait to hopefully own my own someday soon!!

    It’d be nice if I got those blue boots for Christmas. Then it’d be a real Blue Christmas!

    OH MAN! Last day to enter! Gosh I’m so excited! I really hope I win! I love that feeling of wearing cowgirl boots and literally cannot express how happy it would make me to be wearing my OWN pair instead of a friends! I can’t even fathom how great that would make me feel! I’m assuming I would feel like I could conquer the world in my VERY OWN pair of boots! Gosh I hope I win. Either way, thanks for the contest and Merry Christmas!
