Halloween!

I didn't have any plans for Halloween other than riding my horses after work, as per the norm. But it was fairly quiet Friday at my job, so I had some time to brainstorm ways to embarrass my four-legged kids. (There's a small chance I'm turning into the equine equivalent of the crazy cat lady.)
Here they are in their costumes:
Pia and Artie:

Ducky, Jamp, and Rio:

And in case you couldn't guess what they dressed up as, here are the side-by sides for your comparison:
Pia as a Pink Fairy:

 Artie as Derek Jeter:

 Ducky as my old horse Bud (aka Just Humour Me):

 Jamp as Rio:

 Rio as Harry Potter:

I think the kids did a great job with their costumes! Hahaha! Yes, clearly I have too much free time these days. But come on, this is hilarious, isn't it? I think Jamp as Rio might be my favorite.
I didn't dress up this year as I didn't have any plans. But I DID wear my awesome pug PJ's to bed.

Did you get wild and crazy for Halloween? What did you dress as? Do you embarrass your pets with costumes?

Thursday's Threads: Neon Edition

Neon: It's not JUST for outdoor sports! It's been rainy, dark, and gloomy here for the last few days, and when that happens, I always feel the need to brighten things up! So today, I decided to throw some neon at my coworkers.

I could have gone overboard with neon pink pants, but I decided this is 2014, not 1985. Maybe next time though!

Top(s):
Sweater: Abercrombie (via TJ Maxx, duh):
Cami: Forever 21

This sweater is SO SOFT! It's a cotton blend so I can wash and dry it. And I really love the little Abercrombie Moose, which is on the left side in the same color stitching. Very subtle. See:

Pants: Seven

Oops. I wore the same ones last week. SOMEBODY CALL THE FASHION POLICE! I've committed a faux pas! Whatever. They're cute and comfy. And they do a nice job of toning down the crazy top!

Shoes: Gotta Flurt

I love these sneaks! You can't really tell from the photo, but the tongue is covered in glitter. What's better than neon and glitter? No really, tell me. Cause I can't think of a thing. (Except ponies and pugs of course!)

Belt: Betsey Johnon:

The other side is leopard print. Yep. It's awesome.

Jewels:

Leftie's and the big rubber one on the right arm all came from a subscription box. It's called Boodle Box... The target audience is tweens. Yeah. I get a sub box for tweens. And it's awesome. You should check it out here and totally order one too. The hot pink pyramid bracelet is from Forever 21.

So that's my day! What do you think of the neon look? Ridiculous? Way too young for me? Totally inappropriate for the work place? If you answered all of the above, you're probably right. But this amateur doesn't mind at all!
