Bum style is pretty accurate. Just because it's cold doesn't mean you can't make an effort. When it's super Cold, you can layer or wear a parka. I do. I dress like a bum at home, but a little effort goes a long way in public. And it's not just winter. I see it all year. Of course not everyone, but it's growing. Look at old pictures and you see people wearing decent attire. Now you see people in pajamas at Walmart. Lots of slobs out there. Especially guys. Fat asses in stained tshirts and baggy sweatpants. I'll give girls a pass in pajamas. They usually try to make an effort.

I'm of course speaking in general terms, but southern girls are more fun lol. Laid back, like to party, don't mind getting dirty and sound as Purdy as a peach. But also try to look Good as much as possible. Maybe it's the cold, Maybe it's the culture. Vermont should share a lot in common with most other rural states, but it' doesn't. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

You might be a little more unique than others in Vermont. I don't know a lot of people who own a pair of boots, let alone multiple. You can still wear boots for half a year. That's what I do. And during winter, I wear other types of insulated boots with good vibram soles, but I only wear snow boots when I'm shoveling. There actually are cowboy boots suited for winter, but they don't match well with my parka. And I like exotic leathers that don't do well in the wet Snow. Snake skin especially. But they do with denim jackets. I'm not going to adapt to Vermont's style. I like my style and not looking like everyone else. Some people like to fit in though and feel awkward if they don't. I've lived all over the country. New England was just one of the last few regions I hadn't called home, so I picked Vermont. Almost every place has something good about it. Vermont has its charm. And not quite as gossipy as down south. Or if it is, they're better at hiding it. Down south, there's always someone up in your business.

Don't be salty though. :) What's fun to me might just be a skank to someone else. One that happens to like shotguns. To be fair, Vermont girls are probably fun in their own way. Maybe I don't know enough of them to make that judgment. And Fry Boots are good boots. And I love a good thrift find. I've picked up a number of gently used caimen, python and ostrich boots for a song. Some people buy a pair, wear them once to go to a show or wedding and decide maybe cowboy boots are not for them. It's cool. Someone has to wear Chelsea boots.
