Thursdays Threads

 

Well readers, we've reached that awkward in between season. Not quite Autumn, but it's after Labor Day. Makes it pretty tough to pick an outfit! It's too hot out for fall clothes, but really summery items aren't appropriate either. So this week's outfit is pretty weak.

Yep. Jeans and a nice t-shirt. WEAK! Eh, what are you gonna do? At least I wore something. Let's look closer:

Top: Michael Kors

I love the little zipper details on the shoulders. This top will be adorable with my MK boots that have the same zipper on them. Alas, it was too warm today for boots.

Pants: Seven

It's not that clear in the photo, but the stitching on these jeans is gold. Which makes them slightly fancy. Slightly. They're high on my like list, but they're too short for certain shoes. They work ok with very flat shoes, or with tall boots where you can't tell. They work moderately well with boat shoes. Which is what I paired them with today!

Shoes: Rock & Candy

Funny story about these... I had bought a lovely pair of gold LEATHER boat shoes from Steve Madden. And after wearing them maybe three times, the soles started falling off. Steve Madden wouldn't send me a new pair. They would only credit me what I had paid for them, and I had to order a new pair. Which would be fine except I had gotten them on sale with free shipping, which meant I'd be paying more to replace the defective ones. Not ok with me. So I went interweb hunting for a new pair of gold boat shoes and found these. They're faux leather, which you all know is not really my favorite. Despite that, they are very comfy, adorable, and haven't fallen apart in the almost two years I've had them. Win!

Arm Party:

Kept it tame today! Righty up there at the top has two bracelets from Fornash. (I love that they have equestrian inspired pieces, always a fave for me!) Lefty has a zipper bracelet, you know to keep up with the zipper theme from the shirt! I wish they were shiny gold instead of this bronzey color, but you can't have it all. Of course, I am also wearing my trusty watch.

So that's it for today! What are you wearing? Are you having trouble with the seasonal identity crisis too?

 

Thursday's Threads

Happy Thursday everyone! One more day until the weekend... It's gorgeous here in New England, high 70's and the humidity is supposed to lift by this evening. Which means, I didn't have to worry about sweating all over a pretty outfit today! Here's what I'm wearing:

Top: Vila
Price: $10.00

Yes, you read that right. $10! I got it from TJ Maxx online. It's their summer clearance time, steals galore! (Another post to follow with my other great finds.)

Pants: Rue 21
Cost: $9.99

Yep, you've seen these before in maybe 4 other colors... Hey, when you find $10 pants that fit and are comfy,  you buy them in all the colors. That's just what you do! These are not quite white, and I love them for spring, summer, and fall!

Shoes: Rock & Candy
Price: 19.99

I'm guestimating that price on these. I've had them awhile now, so I don't remember exactly what I paid for them. I love the glittery fabric, and even better, it doesn't fall off! These are a great alternative to Sperry's since they're much more cost effective. Rock & Candy does not use real leather though, so if that's important to you, these shoes aren't for you. Also, Rock & Candy is a division of Zigi Soho. I love both brands! They aren't necessarily the highest quality, but for the price tag, they're fantastic! Always super trendy too.

Arm Party!
Left:

I had to show you close ups of the first bangle, as you can't really tell how amazing it is just from the first glance. This little bangle is a horse shoe! Complete with nail holes on one side and nails on the other. It's from House of Harlow, which I think is Nicole Richie's jewelry line. I found it on ebay for $30.00. A little more than I like to pay for costume jewelry, but how could I not? Next to this one is my Sloane Ranger horse shoe cuff, and then another horse shoe (do you see a theme?) from Ettika. And of course my trusty watch on the end.

Right:

Righty is sporting a rhinestone friendship bracelet from Baublebar, a faux leather and gold bracelet from Little Black Bag, the heart bracelet also from Little Black Bag (which I think is by Ettika, or ETK), and that last one on the end is a chain laced with faux leather and thinner chain all in one. I believe that last one is Geranium and was also from Little Black Bag. (I really miss Little Black Bag. It would be super if someone started up a new version, with new items. The website they became, Pose, is mostly used items.)

So that's it from here. What are you wearing today?
