Why Cowgirls Are Cool

I love Cowgirl Boots . I have a feeling of power when wearing my boots that you just don't get with any other type of footwear. Have you ever felt like kicking someone's butt in your flip flops? It might cross your mind, but chances are you'll figure out it's not such a hot idea. Now with your boots on....different attitude - right?? OK, so maybe you're not the type who wants to kick someone's butt anytime. Maybe you just want to look cool! How can you not look cool in a great pair of boots. In my personal collection I have my steel toed lace up work boots - go ahead and try tromping on my foot! -, my fatbaby black with rhinestone bling dress boots - I get noticed and make a statement everywhere I go! - and then I have several well worn pairs that just feel good and I don't have to worry about where I step kind of boots. Cowgirl Boots today come in just about every style and design you can imagine so there's really no place you go that there isn't a pair of boots that will fit right in. Go ahead and find you a comfortable style you like and see if your attitude doesn't change the minute you put them on!!

Cowgirls are as much icons of the West as cowboys and horses. Cowgirls have been around for centuries. Did you realize that cowgirls were some of the first female athletes in America? Born of the trailblazing spirit that sparked generations of women before them, they were the women who could ride a horse as well as any man (sidesaddle or not), shoot straight, rope a steer and still manage to be feminine to the core. That same spirit is still alive today in women who can saddle their own horses, hitch up their own trailers, raise their kids, and succeed in a career.

But, you don't have to own a horse or live in the west to have the cowgirl spirit. A cowgirl attitude is a way of life. Cowgirls are independent and self-sufficient. They believe in old-fashioned values and command respect. They have a uniqueness and style that is all their own.

The clothes that a cowgirl wears speak clearly to the world who she is. Cowgirl style can be denim and western shirts and strictly functional. Clothes that are comfortable, durable, and suited to get the job done. Cowgirl style can also be fancy - designer jeans, rhinestone studded belts, fancy tooled leather boots and hats in all colors and styles. Clothes that show toughness with a definite feminine spirit.

No matter what the current western fashion style is, the cowgirl spirit will prevail. Whether she's riding and roping, competing in a rodeo event, or climbing the corporate ladder, a cowgirl imbues everything she does with grace, confidence, and always - her unique style.

Who doesn't want to own a great cowgirl hat? Western Hats are coming out in more and more great styles and looks all the time.

In the early days the purpose of the cowboy's hat was to keep the sun off of his face. It was developed as a hybrid between the slouch hat and the Mexican sombrero. The cowboy hat, along with cowboy boots, has become a symbol of the American West. The original hats came in two basic colors - black and white. Some cowboys customized their's by adding a chin strap to keep it on or tying on special band to help keep it's shape when wet.

From those humble beginnings of function only, the cowboy hat has developed into a real fashion statement for cowboys and especially for cowgirls.

Now days cowgirl hats come in every color of the rainbow. There are straw hats, felt hats, leather hat bands, silver bands and bands with lots of rhinestone bling or feathers.

But the final piece that puts it all together is that beautiful belt buckle right out front telling the world that you are a "cowgirl"!
