Ask BB: Classic Brown Riding Boots on a Budget

I'm starting college across the country on the East Coast in a couple weeks and I'd really like a pair of classic brown riding boots. Unfortunately, every pair I fall in love with is $300! Do you have any ideas for more affordable options?

I do! In fact, I'm looking for a pair of classic brown riding boots myself. There are dozens of great options hitting stores now, and my favorite has to be these Merona "Manette" tall boots in tan or brown, just $39.99 at Target. I love the clean, classic lines while the decorative buckle adds a distinctive touch.
