CrossDRanch - 2016-05-18 10:10 AM My daughter has been finding shirts down at grandma's house that my wife and her sister wore back in the day. She has also had someone making her shirts in this style.
How cool is that. She looks beautiful.
Thank you |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | cecollins0811 - 2016-05-18 2:32 PM I'm glad no one is taking this the wrong way! (or at least not yet) I've been wearing button down at home lately for the sole purpose of not getting any tanner than I already am. I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding in August and I do NOT want a farmers tan in a fancy sleeveless dress lol. I do feel like I can take myself more seriously though, even just trail riding, and I'm going to chalk it up to a mental thing lol but so far I like it.
If you lived here in South texas you may be changing you mind about wearing long sleeved shirts, here we have lots and lots of heat and humidity, thats why I'm a tshirt wearing gal, Sometimes I have to change shirts a few times during the day with all the sweating I do, but when I do go to a 3,2 day race I wear nice collared shirts to run in, but as soon as my run is over I'm changing back into a tshirt, the heat here will kick your bu** , the heat can make you crazy here, I grew up here but it still gets to me at times.
For just a smaller race its all tshirts and jeans for me.. lol  |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | rodeochick382 - 2016-05-18 12:02 PM In the practice pen I dress like a homeless person, but when I go somewhere I try and look nice. My Dad is a rodeo judge, so I NEVER push the dress code. I will wear a button down and cowboy hat at a no-dress code jackpot and not think twice about it, especially if there is a photographer. Nothing ruins a wicked-awesome pic like a t-shirt and a ball cap, lol. Plus, if I decide to sell a horse down the road, I think dress code makes the video and pics look more legit.
I had some snooty girl come up to me at a jackpot once and tell me "this isn't a rodeo, why are you wearing a cowboy hat". I replied "well, it **** sure isn't a baseball game, so why do you have a ball cap on?" Shut her right on up, lol
I love you. LMAO |

I've been wearing long sleeves to religiously trying not to get funky tan lines for my own wedding next month. I wore a long sleeve tee to a race and had several girls ask me if I was nuts! Maybe, but hopefully it's worth it come picture time!  |

Location: MI | I wear dress code, but for the life of me can't find a long sleeve shirt that will actually stay tucked on a long torso. So, I end up looking like a slob, but I try! #tallgirlproblems |

I visited a good friend of mine in Tyler, TX and omg I completely see what your talking about, so humid and sticky. I can see it being harder wearing long sleeved button ups in the summer. |

I wear nice jeans and a nice t-shirt or tank, no holes or rips, but something that makes me feel comfortable. But I go just to little Wednesday night jackpots, and everyone dresses about the same.
I was watching a big race (this was not a jackpot, it was a BIG WELL KNOWN RACE) recently and they made an announcement that if any of the riders were wearing jeans with holes or rips they would be disqualified....I thought it was sad they had to remind people that those jeans are not acceptable for races that caliber  |

Location: Tulsa, Ok | I think "dress of success" varies depending on the event, venue, weather and dress code. For a local jackpot, clean neat and covered up (no boobage or butt cracks) is fine. Big races and rodeos generally have a dress code that dictates good taste. |
