| Top - Anthropologie. Jeans - American Eagle. Boots - Nordstrom BP. Earrings - Lucky Brand. Hat - from stall at the Salinas Rodeo. Today was my first experience attending a rodeo! I was lucky enough to have box seat tickets, so the experience was upfront and personal. We had a huge lunch in the sponsor tent before hand, and then spent the afternoon watching the final events, including a bullfighting competition! I was a little apprehensive going into the afternoon - I'm an animal rights activist - and I have to admit, though I was assured the animals are treated very humanely, I'm not sure if I'll attend another rodeo. Still, it was a good experience and a real taste of Salinas, which is the city where I've been working since graduation.
The hat and boots - even though they aren't cowboy boots - obviously make the outfit, but I added the turquoise earrings for a little rodeo-esque flair. I actually bought the corset top last December to wear for New Year's Eve, so I'm surprised and pleased that it worked out for this outfit, since I have very few rodeo appropriate clothing in my closet!
Just as a reminder, please consider learning about and contributing to the Anderson Relief Fund, which is for my friend Petra Anderson, a victim of the recent Aurora Colorado The Dark Knight Rises premiere. You can find the information at the following link: Anderson Relief Fund. Additional information can be found in my post from yesterday: For Petra.
