Growing Up in Style is a series about the connection between fashion and local life in America, past and present.
The school gathered in the oppressively hot and humid outdoor gym to watch clog dancing demonstrations andmasked pantomimes, listen to bagpipes, and walk in a parade of nations. In one photo from International Day, I’m standing with some friends who are wearing metalliccomplete with gold belts and sparkling jewels. I’m in a red polo shirt with a white collar, an embroidered American flag on the right pocket.
Dallas has a reputation within Texas for being snobbish, full of blonde women with oil and gas husbands, teased hair, and Mercedes SUVs. The ubiquitous “cute top and jeans” is a “a cute top and white jeans” in Dallas—as if the lighter color made the heavy fabric more tolerable on a 110-degree day. In high school, my friends and I wore skinny white jeans to sit at the mall for hours, while our moms wore them to sip a single margarita at an open air restaurant.
During this period, my boots gathered dust. Anytime I wore them, the outfit faded by 2 p.m. and felt like a sign that read “newbie!”
Always! Cowboy boots are made for walking and that’s isto what they’ll do! Now I only wear tennis shoe.... miss my cowboy boots they were Charles Jourdan boots !!
