I’ve never wanted this place to feel like I just picked a trend and filled a trailer with it.

I want it to feel a little collected. A little unexpected. Something old mixed with something new. Silver + turquoise. Cowhide + denim. A wild rag tied wherever it looks good. Pieces that feel just as at home at a livestock show or Friday night football game, or even just as they do headed out to dinner.

Basically… a lot like my own closet and life.

And maybe that’s why I still love doing this after all these years. TOS has changed A LOT since 2018, but the heart of it really hasn’t.

Rooted in tradition. Styled for today.

September mood: 🍂🤎
Still a little summer. Should be starting to feel a little fall. And we are fully ready for the shift.

Think easy layers, richer colors, denim, silver, Friday night lights, harvest days, cooler nights… and all the good things that come with a new season.
September, I think we’re going to like you.

Summer might be short… but apparently the HEAT didn’t get the memo.

We’ve still got plenty of hot days ahead, which means these lightweight shorts are staying in the rotation.

Cool, comfy, easy to throw on, and perfect for those days when it still feels like July even though your brain has already moved on to boots and fall clothes.

Stock up now + wear them until Mother Nature finally decides it’s fall.

Nothing like trying to quickly picture a pile of new arrivals while being rushed, supervised AND silently judged by Walter. 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Apparently my timeline is not moving fast enough for him.

Swipe to see exactly how he feels about today’s photoshoot. 😂

BUT.. we’re making progress! A whole bunch of new goodness is getting pictured and will be COMING SOON to the website.

School picture day… so of course I had to wear TOS. Because if it’s going in the yearbook forever, the outfit better be good.

Teacher year #15, but make it Onyx Steer.

Shirt is still available in Med & Large. Drop a comment below if you need the link!

Sometimes your couch just needs a little personality.

Our Kick A Cactus Pillow is one of those little pieces that can completely change a space. A little western, a little unexpected, and just neutral enough to work with the décor you already have.

Throw it on the couch, your favorite chair, the bed, or anywhere that could use a little extra TOS personality.

Because apparently we’re not just dressing ourselves around here anymore… we’re dressing the house too.

Where would you put this one in your home?

Three days into being “back from State Fair” and I’m not sure I’ve actually caught up on anything yet.

Orders are getting packed, the suitcases are finally getting unpacked, and I’m slowly settling into the rhythm of a brand-new school year.

State Fair to back-to-school to boutique life without much of a pause in between… August is definitely August-ing.

But we’re getting there. One order, one lesson plan, and probably one Alani at a time.

It should be illegal to start school before State Fair. 😵‍💫😂 Because whewww… it is kicking my butt this year.

Lesson plans recorded ✔️
Sub plans printed ✔️
Classroom put together, ish ✔️
Trailer cleaned out ✔️
Pigs got their last walk down the lane✔️
Suitcases packed ✔️

It’s time.

Time to kick off Year 15 at LHS and the Illinois State Fair.. and apparently all at the exact same time because why would we make life easy?!

And somewhere in the middle of all that… I still have cute clothes to sell. The ‘SPOT ME OUT’ top is SO GOOD. We had this same bestselling style in blush and you girls loved it, so obviously we had to bring it back in cheetah for fall.

Go ahead and snag yours while I’m running around like a crazy person.. just remember, orders placed this week won’t be packed until Sunday evening!

Enjoy a few clips from the last 24 hours while I’m at it!

Getting back in our groove. 🤎

After a quick summer and a weird week this past week, from weddings to funerals and just about everything in between, we’re slowly finding our way back to “normal”… whatever normal even is. 😅

I’m getting ready for Back to School #15, packing up to head to the Illinois State Fair this week, AND working behind the scenes on all things TOS.

A little housekeeping: Orders placed now through next Sunday will ship beginning Sunday, August 16th.

And then… we’re rolling right into one of my favorite times of year. 🏈✨ Our Friday Night Lights Collection is coming, new arrivals are rolling in, and we’re getting ready to hit the road again next month!

It feels GOOD to be getting back in the groove. Stay tuned, Boss Babes… there’s a lot coming.

School spirit season is officially here!

There’s just something about Friday nights, cheering from the stands, and repping your hometown. We’re about to be kicking off our school spirit collection with our Lawrenceville Indians designs… but we don’t want to stop there.

Tell us in the comments… what school or team do you want to see next? 👇

Whether it’s your hometown, your kids’ school, your college, or your favorite local team, we want to know!
