When in Rome?

Hayfork beckons and I am trying to decide if taking my old pair of Justin cowboy boots is a good idea.

I bought these boots in high school when I had a massive crush on the president of FFA and delusions that I would make a great cowgirl. I think I may have even bought them at Farm Supply. Simply growing up in a town where there is a store called “Farm Supply” is pretty amazing. As for my cowgirl aspirations…let’s just say they were misguided. I am a fairly good rider, but couldn’t be called “rustic” by any sense of the word.

So the boots…The downside is that they are hot, require knee socks and take up a lot of packing room. The upside is that they are very area-appropriate and may help take the edge off of the absurd designer-jeans-and-DVF wardrobe I have planned. What do you think?
