Picking a Pumpkin at a Pumpkin Farm
Fall is so fun for me. Every year I make a bucket list of fun things to do and in the past I’ve tried everything from corn mazes to festivals on farms. This past year I did something a little different. Instead of going to a typical pumpkin patch where the pumpkins are already picked I decided to take my daughter and I to a REAL pumpkin patch. We headed out to Jollisant Farm about an hour north of Houston to find us the perfect pumpkin.
The farm actually produces different crops year round and you can find out what’s in season on their website. When you arrive at the main store you get to pick up a wagon and then head out to search for your perfect pumpkin. We decided that we wanted to pick up a couple guys and waded through the patch to find a few winners.
For the occasion I knew these vintage cowboy boots I picked up at the Stockyards in Dallas would be comfortable and practical. The thing about cowboy boots is they are made to be durable (hence the ridiculous price tags on most). They usually last you for years and are great to wear year round. I paired them with an adorable cotton and lace top I picked up at the Scarecrow Festival. Then through on my favorite pair of DIY denim shorts. The outfit was effortless but still chic and practical.
