Thursday's Threads: Travel Edition

Outfit Day! I mentioned yesterday that I'm heading to Florida to visit Badger today, so I have just one outfit to share, and it has layers. Obviously. It's a beautiful day here, 60 and sunny! In December! It's almost hard to leave. Almost. Anyway, here's what I'm wearing today:

When traveling south in December it's important to wear layers so you don't get hypothermic en route to the airport and don't get heat stroke upon landing. Although the temperature difference today will only be about 10-15 degrees. I'm happy to be able to check my jacket instead of carrying it on. I'm sure I'll need it Monday when I get back, otherwise I'd just leave it home!

Sweater and Button Down: J Crew

I broke my rule of refusing to step foot in a retail outlet on Black Friday this year. My bestie wanted to make a couple stops while she was home so I agreed to join her. We went to J Crew where everything was 60% off and I bought presents for no one but myself. (Sorry, not sorry.) And these two tops were them. I love the fox sweater, and thought the plaid button down looked perfect with it.

Jeans: Rue21

You're seen these before. They definitely have become a favorite of mine. It's super exciting when a $9.99 pair of jeans earns favorite status.

Belt: Burberry

The plaids aren't exact on the belt and top, but I think they're similar enough to pull this off. Plus, you can't actually see the belt anyway.

Shoes: Vince Camuto

Well, this is rare... I wore these boots last week on Thursday's Threads too. I like to try and space wearings out usually, but they go perfectly with the sweater so couldn't be helped!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

I kept the arm party really simple today because I don't want to have to take 90 bracelets off to go through security. So apple watch is on his own today.

Righty:

Righty is sporting a slightly creepy fox bangle from Betsey Johnson. His pink gemstone eyes are definitely a bit creepy, but I still think he's cute.

And that's all I have for today! It poured buckets the last few days so I didn't have a riding outfit to share. Maybe next week!
Do you have a favorite piece from today's outfit? Do you like critters on your clothes, or think they're too kiddy? I love them obviously! What are you wearing today?

Thursday's Threads!

Outfit Day!!!! I know it's late, my apologies... It was a busy day! Despite not riding again on Wednesday (I had to break my Yom Kippur fast with the family), I did remember to take pictures of my riding outfit on Tuesday. So let's start with that!

Such a classy amateur I was on Tuesday! And by that I mean too lazy to fully change out of work clothes... Let's look closer!

Sweater: Ariat

My dad and stepmom gave me this sweater for my birthday in April along with the shirt underneath. I love the yellow stitching on the elbows! I also love that this sweater is machine washable.

Top: Ariat

How cute is this pony print button down?! Yellow isn't the best color on me, so I haven't worn it without the sweater, but it's the cutest top ever. I wish it came in other colors... Ariat, if you're reading this, more colors please!

Breeches: Smartpak

I'm certain you've seen these before. They are denim breeches that I got on sale in the spring. I like them, but they do that saggy crotch thing I hate when I'm not riding. Thus, it's a like and not a love. They're very comfy to ride in though.

Belt: Mane Jane

I have so much love for Mane Jane. Currently they have a gorgeous pink belt for sale with proceeds going to breast cancer research. Head over there and get one!

Boots: TuffRider Regals

I've retired the sport boots as the zippers were no longer staying up. They're in otherwise good condition though, so maybe I'll just try replacing the zippers? Not sure. Regardless, the Regals are my current go-to everyday boots. So comfy!

Ok, now on to my work outfit for today:

I think I had ponies on my mind after not riding Wednesday.

Top: Haley and the Hound

I actually discovered this brand via Zulily, but then this summer I saw some of the mobile tack stores carrying it at Vermont. I love the horsey themed items they have, and I hope they come out with some more! I especially love that the buttons have dogs on them:

So cute!

Jeans: Rue21

I'm a sucker for inexpensive denim. These are surprisingly perfect in that they fit great and are even the right length for me! Shocking!

Boots: Steve Madden kids

These light blue boots are crazy cute! They're almost like pastel paddock boots. And yes, I have ridiculously small feet and can wear children's shoes.

Arm party!
Lefty:

I hope you all love the Gucci bit bracelet as much as I do cause it's gonna be on here a lot... Next to that one is a vintage bangle from ebay, and last but not least is my apple watch.

Righty:

Righty is sporting a Tory Burch wrap bracelet that I got in Florida last year along with a bit bangle from Fornash. They both matched the top so well!

That's what I wore today (and yesterday). What do you have on today? Have any favorites from today's features?

Thursdays Threads!

It's OUTFIT DAY!!! Woohoo! AND a half day at work. That's a good Thursday my friends. After work I'm heading out to start my long weekend, so I wanted to wear something comfortable for the drive.

I also wanted to look like a construction worker apparently! Haha, just kidding. I love orange!

Polo shirt: Ralph Lauren

My favorite thing about this one? That horsey insignia is a jumping horse! And it's jumping really well too.

Jeans: Rue 21

PONY POCKETS! I love these jeans. Also sorry for the photo of my bum. But I had to show the ponies. The horse shoe is even turned in the right direction so the luck doesn't run out.

Belt: Designer inspired

I found this ostrich embossed leather belt strap on ebay for a steal, and added one of my H buckles to complete the look.

Shoes: Sperry

I'm not sure how much of a fashion faux pas it is to mix exotic leathers... but these are meant to look like alligator. I couldn't find ostrich ones, so I settled for these. I love them regardless!

Arm party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing a wrap bracelet with a bit for a clasp from Fornash and my iWatch which I'm sure you're tired of already. Our parent company is hosting a steps challenge this month though, so I have to wear it everyday! If I manage around 6,000 steps a day, I'll get a $75 bonus. Woohoo!

Righty:

Righty is all about the designer inspired orange today. The first two are ebay specials and that leather bangle is from Fornash.

I also have a whaley ridiculous riding outfit to share today!

In this very washed out photo, it's hard to tell how silly my outfit is... but you'll see when we look closer!

Polo Shirt: Vineyard Vines

Blue with pink whales ALLL over! I love this top. I found it two years ago when I went to Nantucket at the end of the season. That's the best time to go, not too crowded and EVERYTHING is on sale!

Breeches: Equine Couture

Blue seersucker with pink whales!!! So many whales... Now you see the crazy, yes? Whatever. I think it's cute. I stopped myself from also using the whale saddle pad... but only because I was too lazy to dig it out of the saddle pad trunk.

Belt: Vineyard Vines

I got this guy a few years back in VT at the Vineyard Vines outlet. It was a good find, but the way the buckle is, I have to wear the belt the opposite way I normally wear them. Not a big deal until I have to pee and can't figure out how to get it open!

So that's what I'm wearing today and yesterday. What do you have on? Have a favorite from above? Let's chat below!

Thursday's Threads

You didn't think I'd skip outfit day did you?? Not a chance. I'm just a little late because after working a half day, I flew to Nantucket with my family for the weekend. Woohoo! No responsibilities for 3 whole days!!!! But that's not what we're here to talk about. Let's see what I wore to kick off my Island Adventure Leisure:

That's right, I busted out a party shirt. Bring on vacation! (I really needed a vacation. Clearly. I apologize for the excessive use of exclamation points.)

Top: Magazine

I love the colors on this slightly crazy floral top. It's button down, but only halfway, which is a trend I'm into. I sized up to a medium on this one, and honestly I shouldn't have. But I'm sure I can shrink it up some in the wash.

Jeans: Rue 21

I know right? White jeans are so brave. I'm pretty badass like that... The most miraculous thing is that I ate lobster for dinner followed by a chocolate ice cream cone, kneeled on the dirty side walk to fix my niece's shoe, and didn't get anything on them! It's a vacation miracle! Also, these are REALLY nice quality considering they're from Rue 21. Love the studs on the back pockets.

Belt: Ralph Lauren

I had to have a little something horsey come with me on my trip. Because after one day of not riding I'm going to have withdrawals.

Shoes: Chase & Chloe

Yep. They totally match the shirt. What are the odds? I found both item separately during Zulily's recent blowout sale (you THINK blowout is because they're selling off old inventory for cheap, but it's actually referring to what happens to the money in your wallet). You really can never tell from a computer screen if things will match, but since both items were ridiculously inexpensive I accepted the risk. Totally paid off!

Arm Party:
Lefty:

 Lefty is wearing a beaded bracelet from Nakamol from the days long gone of Little Black Bag along with my Apple Watch.
Righty:

Righty has a pretty beaded bracelet though I forget the brand (sorry, bad blogger) and a gorgeous mixed media bracelet from Ettika.

Even though I didn't get to ride today, I have been riding plenty, so I DO have a riding outfit for you!

It's been chilly, no tank tops the past few days!

Top: Dankini

I've had this top on here before. It's one of my favorites. It's washable wool, so it breathes, and it's comfy and I love it! Oh and it even goes in the dryer without shrinking. Win!

Breeches: Irideon

This is my first pair of Irideon breeches. I LOVE the trim color (shocking, I know). I often size up when I don't know a brand when buying breeches. I mush prefer them a little loose to feeling like I'm stuffed inside. In this case I think I should have stuck with my normal size. But we'll see what happens when I dry them!

Belt: Unbranded

It's not quite the exact same shade as the piping. But it's pretty darn close!

Boots: HKM

These are quickly becoming a favorite. After only a handful of rides, they are almost completely broken in. Can't complain about that!

That's it for today! What are you wearing? How's the weather? What's coming up this weekend? Let's talk about it in the comments!

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?
