Boots and Jeans

What's your style? Suit and tie? Dress and heels? Shorts and flip flops? Boots and jeans? It probably depends on whether you're dressing for work or leisure. It may also depend on where you live, and what you do for a living. In this excerpt, Hannah Duncan discovers that her fashionable short ensemble is totally wrong for her new role in life: proprietor of The Spirits of Texas Inn and the town - yes, town! - that comes with it. Now that she's in the country and has livestock to tend, a good pair of jeans and boots are called for. No fancy labels or designer names necessary, just good, sturdy work clothes.

Book Excerpt

Inn the Spirit of Legends

He pointed opposite the way she had come. “Fredericksburg, ten miles that way.” His light-blue eyes grazed over her. “You might want to pick up some suitable attire.”

“What’s wrong with my attire?” she asked. She wore a pair of fashionable shorts and a silk blouse, with sandals.

His eyes were dancing. “Nothing. You look like you just drove in from Houston.”

“I did.”

“Exactly. But you’re in Hannah now. As you pointed out, this is the country. You’ll need work clothes. I think you’ll be more comfortable in jeans and tees. And boots,” he added. “The kind without suede and five-inch heels.”

She gave him a withering look. “Suede is so out of season.”

“A good pair of leather boots never goes out of style. I recommend Clancy’s Western Wear, right on Main.”
