Thursday's Threads

 

Outfit Day! It's pretty chilly today, but seasonally so. The misery comes in tomorrow. I'm still pretty well layered today though.

Am I wearing two sweaters? Yes. Yes I am. And also added both a vest and a coat for riding today. How many days till spring? Also, yes. This is how I look in the morning. Mornings aren't my favorite.

Helmet: Samshield

Yep, still wearing this. And you best believe that I will be putting the winter liner in for tomorrow's rides. 

Sweaters: Asmar Equestrian

When I was on vacation a few weeks back it was very difficult to ignore all the after Christmas sales flooding my inbox. I may or may not have purchased a bunch of sweaters from Asmar. They aren't wool, but are still pretty warm. Cotton/cashmere blend... mostly cotton. I like that the sweaters come in matching colors so they layer really nicely. They're marked down to around $50 (some a little more, some a little less) and I think are a nice deal if you're in the market.

Belt: Tory Burch

It's shockingly tricky to match greens. But this belt is a pretty solid match today's sweaters. I like the Tory belts, they're similar to the Mane Janes (also similar to Hermes if you're fancy like that).

Breeches: Dover Wellesley

You guys all know by now that I'm a big fan of these breeches for the colder days. I think tomorrow I'll be busting out the corduroys, but these worked pretty well for today.

Boots: Celeris UK

Wore these again today, but yes, tomorrow I shall be busting out the furry boots. It is time.

Shiny is our model today, and her outfit... doesn't exactly match today. We can't be winners every week! Anyway, here's what she had on:

Bridle: Camelot RCS Gold

I should have used the spike browband bridle today. But I gotta tell you, it's nothing short of miraculous that I am on her in time for our 8:30 lesson. There was zero chance I would remember to grab the other bridle. And really... it kind of works with the rest of the mismatched outfit. (You'll see.)

Boots: Eskadron

I really like Eskadron brushing boots. These are such a pretty shade of green. I actually bought two pairs for everyone since they're limited edition. Figured this way I can keep a set in the trailer for schooling if and when we get to some away shows. Plus we'll have a back up for when inevitably these wear out.

Saddle: Custom Saddlery
Saddle Pad: Premier Equine

Quarter Sheet: Horze

Told you. We did not match very well today. I don't have the green quarter sheets at the barn this year. So we had to stick with navy for the back half. I think she was happy for the butt warmer. It was only 20 degrees in the indoor for our lesson. Ugh. Also, in case anyone is wondering, she wasn't quite herself this morning. I think she's a bit sore/stiff from her little stumble yesterday. So we opted to just do a flat lesson today and kept it light and easy for her. I'm sure she'll be feeling better in a day or two. Plus it's going to be a very light (if any) work weekend anyway due to the cold. 

So that's it for today! I'm not sure yet what we're wearing next week, but I'm thinking it might be back to blues. Time will tell!

Thursday's Threads

Happy outfit day!!! I didn't ride last night due to awful weather, but I DID plan ahead and do have a riding outfit to share! Good blogger! So here it is:

Clearly, my heart is still on Nantucket! Know what Nantucket red goes GREAT with?! Rose gold. Indeed it does.

Helmet: HKM

I think it's really pretty. I do wish it came in long oval though.

Sweater: Not sure of brand

I got this sweater in green a couple of years ago and wear it ALL the time. So I decided to get a second one this trip in Nantucket Red! Love it. I have zero regrets.

Belt: C4

The lighthouse belt totally makes sense with a Nantucket sweater.


Breeches: Horze

You guys have seen these before. They're soooo comfy! It would seem I was wearing these when I gorilla glued the fence post back together though, as they now have some glue on the left leg (not pictured). Total bummer as I was hoping to have these as spare show breeches. Oh well. Definitely still plan to use them for everyday.

Boots: Celeris UK
Spurs: Punk Ponies

I think I can officially state that these are broken in. They're pretty comfy not just for riding, but also for handwalking so that's a big deal! The gray ones, however, are not yet.
I love the rose gold spurs I got from Punk Ponies with the boots! Pretty close match!

So that's what I wore riding on Tuesday! I have a work outfit to share too.

I had sworn off leopard for awhile, but I'm bringing it back. It seems to be having a moment anyway.

Top: Bellamie

This is like a knit sweatshirt. Super comfy for a blustery day like we're having. Plus it combines leopard with GREEN so that's obviously a win for me.

Belt: Asmar

I bought this belt along with the matching belt purse awhile back thinking I would use it riding. I haven't yet... but probably will now that I have an enormous phone.

Jeans: Level Ninety Nine

These are some girlfriend cut comfy jeans. It's turning to sock season so I need to get to digging out my longer jeans. Most of the ones in rotation are more ankle length and they look terrible with sneakers. These are working just fine though!

Shoes: Bamboo

Yep! Those are, indeed, crushed velvet sneakers in green and gold. Well, they look like sneakers. But they FEEL like slippers. Solid investment if you ask me.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing the old standby bit bracelet with the apple watch.

Righty:

Righty is remembering Jampy today with a cuff bracelet from Ponylocks first and the other cuff from Horsehair Creations by Celia (on Etsy!). And the fitbit of course. I'm sending Rio's tail out this weekend to get some bracelets made for him.

And that's it for today! Any favorites? What are you wearing?
