I will spend this upcoming summer holed up in a library in the midwest, studying for the bar exam. The only consolation to this impending doom is my plan to wear adorable summer dresses paired with cowboy boots. I have many options with respect to the former: I need some help with the latter. So, I guess my question is: Where can I get some adorable cowboy boots to pair with dresses for summer wear? —Stephanie

Without a doubt, handcrafted cowboy boots should be in every fashion connoisseur's closet, but a quality pair can easily cost hundreds of dollars. Here are some affordable western-inspired boots that you can wear this summer as a student. (And when you pass the Bar and start making the big bucks, you can splurge on a pricier pair!)
