Thursday's Threads: St Patrick's Day Edition

Happy Thursday everyone! It's outfit DAY! AND it's a theme day! Being that probably 60% of my wardrobe is some shade of green, it's not very difficult to dress for St. Patty's day. So let's see what I dug out of the closet for today:

Yep, I went with an old standby. Nothing like a nice cable knit sweater and some Sperry's!
Sweater: Ralph Lauren

I like that this sweater has a boat neck instead the usual round neckline you see on these cable knits. I also love the gold buttons for a little something extra.

Jeans: Rue 21

These are oldies but goodies! I'm a little behind on laundry so I didn't have too many options for light colored denim.

Belt: Delia's

What better day to bust out my beer cap belt?! Though this belt is clearly sending a terrible message about drinking and driving, I do appreciate it in a stylish sense. The belt itself is made from recycled tire tube and the buckle is from a real seat belt from back in the day. The bottle caps are actual beer caps too. I got this belt when I was 17. Which means it's approaching its 19th birthday. This belt is older than Jamp. Whoa.

Shoes: Sperry's

It's no secret that I have a Sperry's addiction. And obviously finding a pair in hunter green was like a dream come true! So much love for these. Forever and always.

Lefty:

My photos wouldn't rotate today... sorry friends! Lefty is sporting a couple of Nakamol bracelets from the days of Little Black Bag. Nakamol makes the prettiest friendship bracelets! I need to go through my hoards of bracelets and find them all again. Lefty is also sporting my apple watch. You may be thinking the strap looks a lot darker, and you would be right... Last week when I oiled bridles, I forgot to remove my watch. So it also got oiled. It's a lot darker now, but it's also really soft. So I can't decide if I've ruined it or made it better.

Righty:

It's really bothering me that this photo is upside down. I mean... REALLY BOTHERING ME! But technology and I don't always see eye to eye, so I guess upside down it shall stay. This entire stack came from Nicole's Creations. You'll learn more about it when I finally get around to catching up on the last several months! I love all of these bracelets. The color is bright and fun, I love the "dream" plate on the wide one, and the bead on the chain bracelet is GORGEOUS!

I forgot to get pictures from riding last night, so no horsey outfit today. Hopefully next week!
What are you wearing today? Did you remember to wear your green?

Thursday's Threads

We're experiencing an Arctic Blast here in New England... So I wanted to wear ALL THE CLOTHES.

But since that's impossible, I had to settle for as many layers I could manage while still being able to move my arms. I won't keep you in suspense, here's today's base outfit:

When it's this cold, you don't get too caught up in being fancy. Here's how it breaks down:

Top: Avalanche

I LOVE these tops. So much so that I own three. And am contemplating grabbing the 4th color that I don't yet have. It's polar fleece on the inside and knit on the outside. I'm not sure how they do it, but I totally approve! So warm and cozy. I got them at Marshalls for 29.99. If your local Marshalls has them, you should definitely invest.

Pants: Vigold

I've had these quite awhile. I imagine you've seen them before. I wanted something comfy and relatively heavy weight.

Shoes: Little Mismatched

These are kids shoes. There's a fairly good chance they're actually slippers... But they have a decent sole on them, so I'm pretty sure they're real shoes. Either way, they're REALLY comfy. And super warm.

Accessories:

You're probably getting tired of these two... But I'm not! #sorrynotsorry

Right:

 Righty is wearing a bracelet I made last year in the front. It's pink cord with blue thread, and both blue and gold beads. I love this one, and really should make an effort to wear it more often! The other bracelet is from Snapfish. It is photos of my four legged posse! The photo below shows all the "beads". You have to actually buy a bracelet for each photo, not sure why they don't sell the beads individually. Fortunately they were 60% off near the holidays or I would not have been able to get everyone on there! I'm thinking about putting them on a nicer bracelet. Currently hunting the internet for a prettier leather. Will let you know what I find!

And now I will show all of you just what it takes to stay warm in this weather!

An additional fleece top. This is from RBX.

Then a down vest. Old Navy

Next we pile on the scarf and coat: Express scarf, Delia's coat

And lastly the hat (and eventually gloves, but those didn't make the photo shoot). I can't remember where the hat is from. I think Forever 21? Or maybe Modcloth? Sorry...

Movement is minimal under all those layers. But I'm warm!
What are you dong to beat the cold weather? Do you live somewhere tropical and warm? If so, I'm jealous. But hey, at least it's not snowing! Oh no wait, that's happening in the morning. Sigh. How many days till Spring?!
