Get to Rockin' it!!
If you are like me, fall means one thing. JEAN JACKET. The cooler air on the way, the leaves starting to turn, and the days getting shorter means it’s time to break out the jean jacket. I love my jacket. It fits just right, I can put a sweater on underneath when the breeze is a bit nippy, I can wear it with a skirt, boots or heels. I can dress it up with diamonds or just throw it on over a cozy flannel shirt. If you consider yourself a cowgirl, if you want to be one, or just look like one, you better get yourself a good jean jacket. For those of you who already have one, it’s nearly time to break it out and get to rockin’ it!!

Hat Etiquette- Do you have it?
HAT ETIQUETTE
According to the Webster Dictonary
There are two types of politeness:
The first-With your hat-lifting or tipping it, which you do for strangers.
The second-Taking it off, which you do for friends.
Tipping your hat is done by barely lifting it off your head:
By the crown of a soft hat, or the brim of a stiff one and your cigarette, pipe or cigar should always be taken out of your mouth before removing or tipping your hat.
A man takes off his hat outdoors:
~when he is being introduced, or saying good-bye
~ as a hello when passing someone he knows on the street
~ when talking, particularly with a woman or an older man
~ when the National Anthem is being played, or when the flag is passing
~ at a burial, or (except in large cities) during a funeral procession.
A man tips his hat:
~when walking with a friend who passes a woman only the friend knows
~ any time a lady who is a stranger thanks you for some something
~ any time you excuse yourself to a woman stranger, as in a crowded room when you jostle her, or when you have to ask to pass by someone
~ any time a stranger shows courtesy to a woman you are with, as when. a man or woman picks up something she has dropped, or a man gives her his seat
~ when you ask a woman an or elderly man for directions
Indoors, a man always takes off his hat, except:
~ in public buildings, such as airports or post offices
~ in entrance halls and corridors of office buildings or hotels
~ in elevators of public or office buildings. (You have to use your judgment about this, though. In a department store elevator full of women you might take it off. Also, if a woman you know gets into an office building elevator, you would probably take it off, and you certainly would do so if you started talking to her.)

Explore Your Personal Style
When you wear cowboy boots, jeans with barbed wire stitched on the pockets, and your idea of fun is a Saturday afternoon spent with your horse under blue skies, chances are your home decorating style may be a bit different from what you find at Target or The Great Indoors. Those stores have their place, it just may not be in your living room.
You may want a little bit of rustic, mixed with some class, rich colors, simple but elegant style, with just a touch of the great OUTdoors. You may want your stitched floral pattern to be paired up with soft brown leather and your art to be framed with real wood and a suede mat. You may your colors to be a cool blue, robust red, and a creamy butter yellow. You may want to be able to see the wood grain in your table and the pitcher sitting on it to look a little like something your grandma would have had on her table.

You may want to do your home décor shopping right after you load the back of your truck bed with a month’s worth of cattle feed.

The Perfect Pair of Jeans
If you live in Colorado, you know that formal attire means jeans and diamonds. Out here in the Rocky Mountains we live in our jeans. We work in them, play in them, cook in them, sleep in them, lounge in them, and the list goes on. Jeans are a way of life out here. All of us know how important the right pair of jeans are to a girls wardrobe. They have to fit just right. Not too tight, not too loose, not too short, just right. They have to give you that long lean look, with just the right color of denim that gives them that “classic jeans” appearance. They have to be tough enough to last all day but still look nice for your dinner date. They have to bring a smile to your face when you pull them on, they have to look great with any pair of shoes you have in your closet, and they have to give you that “bring it on” feeling. The perfect pair of jeans has each and every one of those qualities. These jeans, however, the perfect pair, are hard to find. Not just any store knows what a real “blue jean baby “needs in a prefect pair of denims, but we do. We know what they need to be good enough to be the favorite and make it off of the hanger several times a week. Pine Country Feed knows those jeans, wears those jeans, and sells those jeans. In our newly opened cowgirl boutique, we offer Cowgirl Tuff Jeans. They are the best jeans in the world. Perfect fit, perfect look, perfect feel, perfect pair of, a girls wardrobe essential, jeans. Come in and give them a try. We know you will love them.
