These Boots Were Made For Walking

So if you ever in South Dakota during the summer there are definitely some things you should check out. Today's post is about the Days of 76 that occurs in Deadwood at the end of July every year. This is the time of year where you see nothing but cowboys everywhere like you're living in the Wild West. Days of 76 is a rodeo that occurs and includes a parade celebration as well. I have only been to the rodeo once and it was when I was very little, but I can say that my parents had me dressed up in my cowboy hat and boots for the occasion.

This year I worked during the Days of 76, but I did get the opportunity to see the parade that goes down Main Street in Deadwood. Expect to see a lot of horses and cowboys. And with horses comes the lovely smell of poop.

You get to see all the cool outfits that people wear and they are quite entertaining.

We even got to see cute miniature horses.

This post wouldn't be complete without an outfit of the day. Going with the spirit of the rodeo, I got the opportunity to wear my boots that I don't wear often.

I wore these with a floral dress, a belt, and a jean jacket. This was all I could muster up from the clothes I brought with me to South Dakota.
