Thursday's Threads

 

Outfit Day! The second one back at home. Obviously, I had to do a logo outfit. It's been so long! Here's what we wore today:

So fun to be back in the land of green and tan!

Bridles: Pinnacle

Browbands: Boy O'Boy Bridleworks

Bits: Sweet Billy's

For the price, these bridles are pretty nice. They soften up nicely with oil and they fit well too. These are the chestnut color that I snagged awhile back when they were on sale, but when Al comes home, his is the darker havana color. He doesn't look good in this lighter shade, but I really like it on these two!

Saddles:

Eros- Butet, Shiny- Custom Saddlery

Saddle pads: The Hangry Mare

Eros' half pad is Mattes

I really love these pads from The Hangry Mare. If ever I come into a wad of cash I may get a few more made. Maybe even future show pads!

Boots: Equine Star

The Equine Star boots aren't the highest quality by any means, but they can print literally anything at all which makes them super fun. They seem to hold up decently well despite my putting them through the washer AND dryer. Plus, look how cute these are!

That's what the tall kids wore, and here's my outfit:

Logos everywhere! But like... not TOO many.

Helmet: One K CCS MIPS

I wish they had regular gold rails available... but the rose gold look nice too.

Shirt: It's a Haggerty's

Last year when It's a Haggerty's had their annual sale, I had a few custom shirts made, and this is one of them. I like their tops a lot, they fit well and wash well too. Plus you can fully customize them which is always fun,

Belt: Zazzle

Zazzle is fun because you have almost anything made with whatever you want... I just wish they had horse stuff! I thought this belt turned out cute. 

Breeches: RJ Classic Gulf

I used to not like the RJ breeches much, but now that I have them in the correct size, I'm actually a big fan. Plus stores are allowed to put them on sale which makes them more accessible and affordable than TS. Which, they're less money even when they're not on sale so that's also nice.

Boots: Fama 4 All

So sad story... These boots do not fit me anymore at all. They're way too big in the leg. But obviously they're amazing so I'll continue to wear them anyway. 

And that's it for today! Any favorite parts? Have you customized any apparel of your own?

Thursday's Threads... another one with too many logos

 

Outfit Day again! It was time to break out all the logo gear again, so enjoy this ridiculous outfit today... Here's what we all wore:

I'll start with the horses's outfits today.

Bridles: Joseph Sterling
Browbands: Dark Jewel Designs
Bonnets: Equine Star

I hadn't actually used any of my Equine Star Bonnets until yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit. The ears are stretchy and fit snug, but in a good way. Often bonnets seem to have way more ear than my horses do but these don't. (Okay, not true for Shiny... girl can fill out a bonnet...)

Saddles: Butet on Eros, Custom Saddlery on Shiny
Saddle Pads: Equine Star on Eros, Mattes on Shiny

Eros' Half Pad: Mattes

Equine Star will make pretty much any pattern or image you can come up with into a matchy set, so obviously I had to get my logo done. I ordered these sets awhile back and honestly have no idea why I haven't used them for Thursday's Threads until now. Better late than never!

Boots: Equine Star

I just think boots with my logo all over them are pretty fantastic... Also, I initially made a typo on "fantastic" and wrote fabtastic... I think that might be a useful new word. These are FABTASTIC! And yes, the straps are glitter!

Okay, my turn!

Helmet: One K CCS MIPS

My wide brim One K helmets arrived yesterday (this isn't one of them though). I got the black and rose gold and the navy with rose gold. But I swapped out the rose gold on the navy for a lighter blue to be my helmet at the boarding barn in their colors (Stepmom's horses will be there soon and I can ride them, so it's useful still). I had planned to use the rose gold rail from the navy helmet on this one that I already had. So I could have green and (rose) gold on this helmet. But I'm thinking I kind of want the rose gold front plate instead of the green on here now. What do you think? Should I swap out that triangle piece in front with rose gold? Or maybe black for that piece and just have the top and rails in green/gold? I dunno, I'm just not sure I love it the way it is right now. Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments...

Tee: ArtsCow

Heh.... so ArtsCow is this place in China that will print whatever you want on pretty much any clothing item. So like Equine Star but for humans. I've had other stuff from them on here before. And yes, I have lots of clothing items with my logo on it. I'm super weird. I am who I am.

Belt: Zazzle

Zazzle is a company here in the US that will also put your logo or whatever on all kinds of fun stuff. I may or may not have gotten nail stickers from them with this print too. I may require an intervention. But anyway, this belt and buckle are super fun! The belt is reversible and has that smaller repeat print like the buckle on the other side.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

I snagged these brown TS breeches on Poshmark for a great deal. I spend all my money on custom crap, so second hand TS breeches are kind of my jam.  

Socks: Dreamers and Schemers
Backless Sneakers: ArtsCow

Lol. Shut up. I love them.

Boots: Fama-4-All

The Fama boots are not the same quality as the Celeris. The leather is definitely not as nice, but even still, these boots are probably my favorites. I mean... my logo is cut out of them. That's pretty amazing. They also cost less than the Celeris, so if you ask me, you are getting way more than you're paying for, and I would recommend them for beautiful customs on a tighter budget. They are, unfortunately, a bit too big these days, but I could always wear thicker socks if that became a problem. Coolest boots ever.

And that's it for today! Any favorites?  And seriously, opinions on changes to the helmet are appreciated.

Thursday's Threads: The one where I tone it down with the logos. Slightly.

 

Outfit Day!!! I kept it green again this week, but I toned down the excessive logos this time. I mean, there still there... but not so many.

See? You can't even see any of them from here!

Helmet: Charles Owen

Greenie! I love him. I hope Charles Owen comes out with custom options for their MIPS helmets. Would love to get a safer version of greenie.

Shirt: EquestrianAF

Shiny does not agree with this tee shirt. But it's still very accurate.

Belt: Boy O'Boy Bridleworks

I still love this belt so much. I kind of want lead ropes. And dog collars... And I REALLY want the hunt coat with the Boy O' Boy trim on the collar. But it's stupid expensive.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

I hate to see stores go out of business. Especially tack stores which are getting fewer and fewer. But when that does unfortunately happen, I don't hesitate to grab TS breeches for $100 or less. Just saying.

Boots: Fama 4 All

Spur Straps: Mane Jane

Um... I kinda forgot I had these. They're barely even broken in. Oops. I really like how these came out, but I was bummed they made a small error. The toe cap was supposed to be the same leather as the heel and cuff.

Arm Party!!!

Lefty:

Lefty is donning all the tech along with my slow twist bracelet from Loriece. 

Righty:

Righty is donning this wide Boy O'Boy Bracelet. I really wanted my logo on it, so I got the wide one, but I kind of wish I had just gotten the narrow instead. It's a bit bulky. 

Shiny's Outfit:

She's just the cutest thing, isn't she? I wish I hadn't stood her half in a shadow though.

Bridle: Shiva by QHP

Browband: Dark Jewel Designs

Saddle: Butet

Saddle Pad: Mattes

Boots: Equestrian Stockholm

That shadow again... These are green, I swear! So just a note on these boots if you ever are considering a pair: The elastic on the straps is a single piece and very stretchy, so you have to make them fairly tight or they will slide down. Most boots have the elastic doubled up, which I prefer. It's not a deal breaker, but I don't love that about them.

Eros' Outfit:

He's so handsome, I almost can't stand it! His bridle doesn't match his outfit, so we'll skip that part for him today. I only have one of his bits at the moment and it was getting late so I didn't want to switch it. 

Saddle: Hermes

Baby Pad: Dover embellished with the Cricut

Half Pad: Mattes

Next time I think I'd like the brown half pad with this outfit. But the green was more accessible yesterday. I think the logo came out cute with the brown horse. Maybe next time I'll make the ribbon blue? What do you think?

Boots: Equestrian Stockholm

So that's what we wore to ride last night! Any favorites? Do you have any favorite equine brands that I should check out?

Thursday's Threads... another one with logos everywhere.

Outfit day again! This is another one where I just logo everything. You guys. I can't stop. Having my Cricut up and running has been so much fun! I have lots more ideas, just not a lot of time to make stuff right now. But still. So fun! So here's what I wore yesterday to ride:

That top looks REALLY low cut from this angle... I promise there was no inappropriate exposure... Also I had a cami underneath. Anyway...

Helmet: Charles Owen

Greenie isn't nearly as ventilated as the One K's, but he sure is pretty! And he fits really comfortably too.  I hope CO comes out with a custom MIPS helmet in the future so I can upgrade to a new greenie.

Top: Stacie Original

So.... when enhancing a shirt, it might not be a bad plan to try it on before you place your decorations... The logo on the front is on the side of my boob. Super awkward. Oops. Live and learn, right? I've been getting inexpensive shirts from Walmart and Amazon to decorate. I even found some hunter green athletic shirts, but I haven't gotten to them yet.

Belt: Stacie Original 

Buckle: Mane Jane

One of the boarders at the barn is a leather rep. They sell to a lot of the high end bag designers and what not. Whenever they clean out the office, they give me their scraps. And so I made this belt strap from their scrap! I only have scissors for cutting, so it's not that even... but it's good enough! I made it simple, just a strip of leather, which works well with both the Mane Jane buckles and my H buckles. I'm curious to see how long the iron on vinyl will last on the leather... but I've worn it a few times already and so far so good!

Breeches: Ariat

These are the more expensive Ariat breeches, but you all know me. I only buy this stuff on closeout. I do find the higher end models fit better than the lower end.

Socks: Dreamers & Schemers

I'm pretty sure you've all seen these before. I have two pair and I also made a green version. If you haven't played around with making custom socks on the Dreamers & Schemers site, you're missing out. It's super fun!

Boots: Fama-4-All

I still think these are the coolest boots in my collection. The quality isn't that of the Celeris, and they aren't AS super comfy as the De Niro's. But they are still completely amazing. I mean... my logo is on them! Look at it! And yeah... I know they're dirty. We haven't gotten rain in so long, everything is dusty. It's gross. 

Arm Party!!!

Lefty:

I need to work on some logo bracelets... I have some ideas but need to experiment. I figured the next best thing was just following the color scheme. So lefty is donning my FAVORITE bracelet. It's that green bit bracelet from Gucci that I happened to stumble across on Ebay several years ago. I love this thing so much. I paired it with an Hermes wrap bracelet that was also a second hand purchase. 

Righty:

Righty is donning a couple of other second hand Hermes bracelets and my Fitbit. I do love fancy bracelets from fancy companies (clearly) but I think it's pretty crazy what they cost. So I've only ever purchased them used. Though I have received a few as gifts. 

So that's what I wore yesterday, but I also have horse outfits to share! Spoiler alert, their bridles didn't match as I don't have the right bits on their green themed bridles. So we're skipping bridle photos today.

Eros:

Eros wore my Hermes saddle with my mattes half pad, and a baby pad that I decorated with the Cricut. The photo doesn't really show it, but I used glitter vinyl for this one so it's sparkly and fun. He also wore his Punk Pony boots. These are the cob sized though, I need to find the horse size that fit him better.

Shiny:

Shiny isn't wearing any logos. I can't bring myself to deface my fancy Mattes pad. But it is all the right colors, so close enough. Atop the Mattes pad she's using her Butet saddle. She's also donning her Punk Ponies boots.

And that's it for today! Do you have any craft fails like my shirt's funny placed logo? Any favorites from today?
