Thursdays Threads

Outfit Day!!! No riding outfit today or for the foreseeable future. Substitute CT trainer is in FL for the month, so no lessons to be had. Womp womp. But I do have a work outfit, so all is not lost!

Sweater weather... It's kind of odd to have a great farmer's tan while wearing winter clothes isn't it?

Sweater: Vineyard Vines

I love Vineyard Vines sweaters but they are stupid expensive. I had some free time one evening while in Florida so I headed to my mecca TJ Maxx to see what was on clearance. The Palm Beach Gardens TJ Maxx and Marshalls definitely get better stuff than the ones near me in CT! And oddly enough they get a decent amount of winter clothing which never sells and then goes on final clearance for me to find. It's very exciting. So that is where I found this beauty at a much more reasonable price. It's a crazy blend of fibers but does have a small percentage of cashmere. It's very cozy and ridiculously soft. Happy to welcome it to the family!

Jeans: True Religion

I've worn these on Thursday's Threads before, and I can guarantee this won't be the last you see of them. I've completely jumped on the True Religion band wagon. I love their pants! (Not their price tags...)

Belt: C4

The colors on the C4 Hunt Scene belt are perfect with this sweater! I suppose the themes are pretty different, but whatever.

Shoes: Steve Madden (kids)

I guess these are basically paddock boots. Ha. No wonder I'm so at home in them! They're actually a really soft leather, and I live the light blue color. They're perfect to bring out the light blue pattern in the sweater.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is donning a shimmery beaded bracelet from Nakamol and my trust Apple watch.

Righty:

Righty is wearing a Stacie original horse bracelet (the cord is the same green as my sweater!) and a vintage bangle from unknown origins.

And that's what I'm wearing today! What do you have on? How's the weather by you? It's sunny today, but pretty gold with highs in the mid to upper 30's. Have any favorites from 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?

Thursday's Threads

Outfit Day! My favorite day! Since last week was so kitchy, I decided to somewhat class it up today. Plus the temps outside are dropping like it's hot... but it's not hot. Not hot at all. Waaahhhhh. I miss that 50 degree winter we were enjoying. Also, it snowed again this morning. But enough of my whining, let's see what I'm wearing today:

I'm bundled up for a long cold day in my refrigerator of an office. Let's look closer:

Sweater: French Connection

This is one of my most comfortable items of clothing EVER. I love the knits from French Connection. They're so tightly woven they almost seem like a sweatshirt, and are as soft as can be.

Vest: Pink Rose

This knit vest is padded with faux shearling. It's ridiculous how warm it is. I may look like I gained 70 lbs when I wear it, but I don't care. I'm warm! Throw some toggle buttons on anything and I will buy it. Just FYI if you're trying to sell me something.

Jeans: Premier by Rue21

I've had these awhile. They're the perfect dark wash jeans. Just a little bit of stretch, the length is perfect, they're straight leg so they look great inside boots or with boat shoes. And most importantly, there's a HORSE on each back pocket. Obviously these get a lot of use.

Boots: Steve Madden

This pair has been buried at the bottom of Mt. Tall Boots for much of the winter, but I carefully deconstructed said mountain just for today! These fit me like a glove, and are really comfortable. I love that the zipper is angled, the material is real leather, and they are super comfy.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is sporting a black and rose gold Gucci inspired bracelet, and my Hermes apple watch.

Righty:

Righty is all fancied up today! First is a gold and charcoal bracelet from Pura Vida, next is a rhinestone wrap bracelet from Express, followed by one I beaded myself, and lastly a bangle from Express.

That's what I'm wearing today! What do you have on? Do you have a favorite piece from today?

Thursday's Threads

Happy Outfit day everyone! It's a bit dreary out today and rather rainy. But I'm just glad it's not snowing! It's supposed to tonight though.... Go home weather, you're drunk! In honor of the upcoming Super Bowl and a desire for comfort food, I decided to get a little kitchy with my outfit today:

Burgers and Fries! Mmmmmm... outfit. And now I'm hungry. Let's look closer!

Cardigan: Asos

I love that the elbow patches are a burger and fries! Hahaha, cracked me right up when I found this on the Asos website. They didn't have my size, but since it's an open cardigan, I figured I could size up and it would be fine. It's a little big, but not bad.

T-shirt: Savage Base

I found this on the Sammy Dress website... It's an Asian company known for it's incredible deals and terrible customer service. This is actually a men's shirt, but Sammy Dress tends to run really small. I took a chance and ordered it, and it's perfect! I think it's hilarious.

Jeans: Vigold Jeans

These are OLD! Oldies but goodies of course. They are bootcut and are magic pants in that they fit me when I'm chubby and when I'm not. So they've stuck around. I like the two-toned stitching!


Belt: No Brand

I found this on ebay and was super excited about it. The fact that the buckle is the seatbelt from a Mustang is just the cheese on the burger isn't it?! (See what I did there? Instead of icing on the cake. Hey, at least I find me funny.)

Shoes: Steve Madden

You can't have a fast food outfit without some glitter now can you? These are actually from the kids department. I found them at Marshalls last year. I've worn them a ton, and they haven't lost their sparkle.

Jewelry:
Necklace: Claire's

Do you want fries with that? Yes. Yes I do. This is so cute. I just wish the chain was gold toned. At least the fries are!

Lefty:

Lefty has a cuff with what looks like a Lapis stone, but I'm pretty sure is actually plastic. I had gotten it to match my Rolex. Which I would have worn today, but I'm determined to have a perfect "move goal" week on the apple watch. So maybe next time...

Righty:

Righty is donning a couple of Ettika bracelets first, love the blues on both of them! The other is a stretch bracelet I made last year. It has my name on it, two dark ponies, two pugs, two blue ribbons, and FRIES! Clearly, it's biographical.

That's what I'm wearing today! What do you have on?!

Thursday's Threads

Outfit day!!! And a half day of work for this girl! Better for me than the horses, they're getting fall shots today. Sorry boys... It's a dreary cool day here in New England. Apparently autumn has arrived. So here's what I'm wearing:

I know that photo is horribly dark. I was ridiculously late for work this morning and no matter where I put the mirror, it still looked like this. And finally I had to settle! But you'll see better when we look closer.... Let's do that!

Top: Sun & Moon

I think this top is pretty nifty (yes, I said NIFTY)! It's a lycra material, so very soft and stretchy. What I love best is this built-in infinity scarf look. It actually is all one piece that crisscrosses to give the illusion of wearing a scarf. I also like that the cuffs match the scarf part.

Jeans: Seven Jeans

These are oldies. I'm certain they've been on the blog before. I just cleaned out my jeans closet and re-discovered these in the process.

Boots: Steven by Steve Madden

These have been on here before too. Now that Autumn has arrived, the boots are all back! Woohoo! The Steven line is my favorite from Steve Madden. The materials are higher quality than the other lines, and I have yet to find a pair that wasn't super comfortable. I love the giant zippers on these!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Are you tired of this look yet? I'm not. My Keep Collective bracelet was the perfect match to today's outfit! The band is black like my top and the lapis stones match my jeans... So matchy matchy!

Righty:

First up is my delicate H bracelet with the black enamel. Next is a new addition to my collection that I picked up in the recent Kate Spade clearance sale: A Pretzel! I love ridiculous things like that. And lastly is my Rebecca Minkoff bangle that my sister-in-law gave to me. I'm loving this stack!

So that's my work outfit today. But I also have a riding outfit to share! This is what I rode in last night:

I'm full-on embracing this plaid trend. It's a total throwback to my freshman year of high school, but I'm loving it all the same. Maybe I'll listen to some Nirvana to really get back there...

Top: Target

It's a little tough to see in the photo, but the buttons only go part way down the shirt. I really like that, it puts a little twist on your basic plaid button down shirt. (Aside: Have you all seen the new trend in calling those shirts button ups? What is that? Do you button from the bottom up? Because I always button down. Hence the term button down. When did this change?!) My only complaint with this shirt is that the back is kind of small. It fits great if I'm not moving much, but it doesn't allow for much arm movement. Snapping this photo was a challenge! I think had I sized up though, it would have been too big.

Breeches: Grand Prix

I think these have been on here before. I love the dark gray color, but my favorite thing is the lavender stitching. Just a little something different.

Belt: No brand

I'm loving the blue on the belt. It's so different from any other I've seen! It's not really navy, it's kind of bright, but not too bright... It's just right! Ha. Poet and I didn't know it... Ok, sorry. I'll stop.

This was Jampy's outfit last night:

He just got this baby pad for being such a good boy lately. Ok, that's a lie. He just got this baby pad because I'm a shopaholic and there was a coupon code. It's from Sporthorselifestyle and I LOVE their logo! I think they should make a bracelet with it... Maybe I'll email and make that suggestion.

Ok, that's all the outfits I have for today. Do you have a favorite item from today? What's your opinion on this whole button up controversy? And most importantly, what are you wearing today?
