Thursday's Threads

 

Outfit day already! Just Al is modeling today because I kept forgetting to snap photos of the others. Outfit day is admittedly a little weak when I'm at the boarding barn. Plus it's winter. Winter is stupid too. Anyway, here's what I wore today:

Rita's first outfit day cameo!

It's pretty cold here today, so this was layered with outerwear too of course. I'm pretty much already counting down the days to spring. Unfortunately, there's a lot of them left. 

Helmet: One K 

Rocking the KN95 just in case still. Looking forward to being able to switch to a more comfortable face cover though!

Hoodie: Horseplay Apparel

You guys have seen this before... but probably with less dog hair. Lol! Still a favorite of mine. I wish they made a hunter green version!

Belt: Rebecca Ray

I love these Rebecca Ray belts! The leather is super soft, and I am a big fan of fancy stitching (clearly). 

Breeches: Dover Wellesley

I am super into the color of these breeches! It's more accurately depicted in the belt photo above. They're almost a heathered light blue. Really pretty. And the Wellesley breeches are a nice weight for this time of year. Not too thick, but definitely provide more warmth than Tailored Sportsmans do. 

Socks: Dreamers and Schemers

It's almost time to switch to thicker socks for the winter, but so far as long as I wear my warm boots, these are keeping my feet warm enough!

Boots: Tredstep

Recycled photo... sorry!

It will be the saddest of days when I have to retire these boots. Okay, well not this pair exactly, I do have a backup pair. But they're discontinued, so once those go, they're gone for good. And THAT will be a sad day.

So that's what I had on, and here's what Al was donning today:

Bridle: Camelot
Browband: Boy O' Boy Bridleworks

Don't believe this serene face... Big Al was WILD tonight! We both survived though. Phew. 

Saddle: Butet

Saddle Pad: Premier Equine

It's officially everything-rubs-the-horses season so I've got everyone wearing this type of pad with the half pad sort of built in. These PEI pads have increased in price slightly, but they're still probably the best price you'll find for this type of pad. 

Boots: Equinavia/Horze

I had wanted to get Al a pair of the PEI boots, but they were sold out of his size. I found these on sale instead from Equinavia, and they're doing the job just fine.

That's it for this week. Kind of a low key outfit, but after several weeks of holiday and spirit week outfits, I think it's a nice change! Any favorites from today?

Thursday's Threads: The one with the recent repeat

Outfit day! I have a classy (ish) riding outfit and a REPEAT work outfit... kinda. It's more of an improved variation on something you've seen before... Let's start there today.

So, the sweater you saw just a few weeks ago, but I wasn't really happy with what I put together that day, so I had to try again. Maybe it's too soon... but it's my blog and I can do what I want.

Sweater: John + Jenn

I almost paired this with some awesome acid wash jeans but I thought maybe that would be taking it a little too far back to 1986. Expect to see those pants soon though. Also, I don't care what anyone thinks or says, neon will always be in my wardrobe.

Belt: Mane Jane

This is one of favorite Mane Jane straps, but it doesn't really go with a lot, so it doesn't get a ton of wear time. Kinda perfect with this sweater though!

Jeans: Kut from the Kloth

It's a challenge finding jeans in my closet that aren't ankle length. I had sorted them at one point, but they've since jumbled themselves back up again. Fortunately, these are full length and work great for this outfit.

Sneakers: KangaRoos

These are the shoes I was thinking of for this sweater the last time, but I didn't remember them when I got dressed that day. I've been organizing the shoe hoard in my house, and was SUPER excited when I dug these up. Most of you are probably too young to remember KangaRoos, but they were super popular when I was a little girl. All the cool kids had them. And what made them different from other sneakers was that they had pockets! They started making them again a couple of years ago, complete with pockets! That flap that says ROOS is where the pocket is. These pockets velcro but back in the 80's they had zippers. I think the remakes have both, depending on model, but I'm not positive on that. Anyway, I love them. The color is a little off in this photo, but they actually match the sweater PERFECTLY!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing these fun stretch bracelets along with the trusty watch.

Righty:

Righty went full neon today! First up is a bangle bracelet from Rustic Cuff, followed by that inital bracelet that's either from Fornash or C Wonder... I can't remember which. I got it second hand on Poshmark though. And last is my Fitbit in a fun neon pink band.

So that's my repeat sweater outfit, but I think it worked out much better this time around. I mean... the shoes, right?! Anyway, I have a really cute and mostly classy riding outfit to share too.

There's some fancy stitch... you just can't see it here.

Helmet: One K

I ALMOST brought my navy helmet, but I was lazy. So old faithful it is!

Sweatshirt: Horseplay Apparel

This cute fancy stitch top popped up on my Instagram feed one night when I should have been sleeping, but instead was scrolling through social. Total impulse buy, but it's super cute. The hood and the sleeve cuffs are lined with that gray and white striped fabric. Plus it has thumb holes!

Belt: Rebecca Ray

Made the most sense to pair this top with my navy, fancy stitched belt, right? I love this belt, and I wish I had also gotten it in black to show with. If anyone sees one in their travels, let me know, as it's been discontinued.

Breeches: RJ Classics

These get a fair amount of wear time. They are incredibly unflattering in that you can see all the lumps and bumps. Ew. But they're also super comfortable and sometimes that wins over looking nice. I like the color a lot too.

Boots: De Niro

As I mentioned last week, I swapped these navy boots out with the black ones I've been wearing to test the longevity on these zippers. We'll see how they do with daily wear! Hopefully they hold up just fine.

So that's it for today. Any favorites? Thoughts on neon? And fancy stitching?
