Thursday's Threads

Sorry, not sorry... but it's all green everything again here on the blog. I can't really help it. It's autumn! Tis the season! Let's start with the pony riding outfit.

Ha... Even the hay cover at Eddie's barn is green. And yes, it's also jacket season. Gross. I miss summer already.

Helmet: Charles Owen
Greenie. I heart him.

Top: Mittoshop
Jacket: KJ's Creations
I found this sweater on Zulily a bit ago, and while it's green, tan, and black, it's close enough to my barn colors right? Plus it's perfect with my custom barn jacket from KJ's Creations!

Belt: Noble Outfitters
Well... this belt is obviously too narrow for these breeches, but I'm in LOVE with it! Noble Outfitters must be stalking me or something to make this belt... How perfect right?!

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman
I still love side zips. I can't be the only one because they still make them... Right?

Boots: Regals
Spurs: Evo Equine
Straps: Stacie Originals
Now that I'm starting to have some strength back and I've getting to know Eddie and Eros a bit more, I'm hoping to start breaking in all the fun boots! So just maybe one of these days Thursday's Threads will have some fun boots again.

That's what I wore to ride last night, and here's what I'm wearing at work today:

The lighting is bad, but it's more green and tan. Obviously.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Pretty much all a horse brand needs to do to get me to buy their stuff is make it in hunter green. I don't even think twice. I just add to cart, and the next thing I know, it's in my closet/tack room. This is a nice sweater. It's fairly light weight, and has all these cute details on it. I love the color combo and the fit is nice. I'm kind of a smedium right now, and I went with the medium in this. Hopefully it won't shrink much.  My only complaint is that the cable detail is only on the front and sleeves. I prefer when the back of my sweater matches the front... but it's green so I got over that pretty quickly.

Belt: PS of Sweden
I have mixed feelings about these stretchy belts that everyone is loving right now. They're not really my favorite. But when I ordered the sweater, I also ordered the matching quarter sheet, and was just a little shy of free shipping. So I got the belt. It's nice. For a stretchy belt.

Pants: Level 99
You guys have seen these a ton of times before. They look khaki, but they actually have a hint of metallic gold running through them. I can't get that to show up in photos though. It really is that subtle.

Shoes: No brand
I got these fun boots on ebay from some sketchy Chinese seller. They're actually made of leather, and are the darkest green. I love the wing tip details, and they're actually pretty comfy.

Arm Party!
Lefty:
You may recognize that Hermes clasp and be thinking, "this chick is ridiculous, how many of those bracelets did she buy?!" But fear not. I bought the one bracelet, and I've been making straps to use with it in different colors. I haven't quite gotten one to match my watch band yet, but I'm working on that! This chocolate color is pretty though. The other little bracelet I put together too. It's not a great photo, but that one is green.

Righty:
Righty is wearing my green Hermes bracelet along with this cute nameplate bracelet with a twist. Instead of horse names on them, they have little motivational sayings. I picked "Get Over It" because I need that reminder when I accidentally make Eddie trot in front of an oxer... I think the rhinestone rivets are a fun touch too.

That's it for today! All green everything! Maybe next week I'll wear a different color. Any favorites from today?

  1. I love your total commitment that I green -- makes me feel like I have a kindred spirit for how I feel about teal 🤣

    1. I can't really say I'm still running... I just show up to these things with zero preparation. Maybe not the best plan?
      And I know! It's been crazy around here, but so much fun!

    1. I miss 80 degrees... I have zero use for anything colder than 75. It's going to be a LONG winter.

  4. I have the same green tailoreds and I love them. I also love side zip Tailoreds, so you definitely aren't the only one! I think they are flattering and look way better under show coats. I have 2 stretchy belts now and I like them for the fun colors and for how inexpensive they are. The USG ones are like $24 at my local tack shop and come in tons of fun colors.

    1. I'm always down for fun colored belts! My trouble with the elastic belts is that I actually kind of need them to hold my pants up, and the elastic don't really do that.
