I’m off on a hen do tomorrow. Tomorrow night is a rodeo theme, so I was thinking vaguely that I need a cowboy hat and boots. It’s now the night before and I’ve realised I have not got anything for this outfit. Completely forgot.

Any ideas for last minute inspiration? Am close to the usual high street shops and have got tomorrow morning but this isn’t something I imagine the average shop stocks. Kicking myself for not ordering sooner!

Jeans, plaid shirt and a scarf you can cut and turn into a bandana?

DarkHollowTree · 05/09/2024 20:22

I bet you can probably get cowboy hats from most shops that stock seasonal stuff at this time of year for Halloween?
Some denim shorts and maybe a shirt you can tie up will do! 😅

Do you have anything to work with? Blue jeans / checked shirt / leather belt?

TheNestedIf · 05/09/2024 20:22

Amazon might be able to deliver something by 1pm, if you have Prime.

ApocalypseNowt · 05/09/2024 20:23

Leather chaps? Grin

I’ve got blue jeans or black denim shorts. New Look is saying they’ve got a Nashville t-shirt. It’s not a huge amount of effort but it’s better than what I’ve got now.

I did have an oversized plaid shirt years ago. I wonder if it might still be lurking in a cupboard.

Denim jeans, or short skirt or shorts. Any shirt with the collar open and a triangular knotted scarf. Chunky leather belt with a large buckle. If you've got long hair, wear it in bunches or plaits. Have you got a denim jacket? Or an old waistcoat?

RitaFromThePitCanteen · 05/09/2024 20:41

Blue denim jeans, skirt or shorts, any vest top with a shirt worn open over the top. If the shirt's big enough, tie it in front. Plait your hair in two plaits over your shoulders if you can. Any boots.

Stick some horns to a headband and go as the bull? 🙃

Claire’s might have cowboy hats if you have one near you? They have a stock checker on their website.

longdistanceclaraclara · 05/09/2024 20:46

Country is in, can you get to primark?

DoreenonTill8 · 05/09/2024 20:46

Is there a Claires accessories?

Yes! Didn’t know it was in. Might be able to get a plaid shirt there then.

You could go as a rodeo clown?
If you have a red nose and random bright coloured clothes?

Binglebong · 05/09/2024 21:22

Any toy shops nearby? Toy guns and a sheriff badge.

BasiliskStare · 05/09/2024 21:30

I'd spend the money on a shirt and a hat do plaited hair thing rather than cowboy boots ( unless you think you will wear them again. )

Auntieobem · 05/09/2024 21:51

Primark have some checked shirts in just now

Thistooshallpass24 · 05/09/2024 22:09

Charity shops?
Primark?
Poundshop? ( Guns)
I wouldn't throw a lot of money at it to be honest ( you probably won't wear again)

BlackeyedSusan · 05/09/2024 22:25

Print off a horse mask/picture stick to cereal packet. Elastic or stick to head band . Wear any horse coloured clothing.
