Thursday's Threads: Peeps Edition

 

Outfit Day! And it's a fun one. Two holiday weeks in a row! Which is good, because I'll probably forget to do Thursday's Threads next week... Just being real. It's about to get a lil' crazy here for a few days. Anyway, EVERYONE is modeling today, so buckle up. Also, this was our Easter Sunday look this year.

Something I really like about this barn is that they do have staff on holidays so nothing is different for the horses. I'm all for giving staff a holiday off, especially if they're full time barn workers who likely work insane hours all the time. But here, most of the staff is part time so it's not as inhumane to request work on a holiday. I've been at barns that didn't clean stalls on a holiday and didn't turnout. One barn even didn't feed morning grain. I'll never complain about the horses staying in or having a dirty stall once for a holiday at a place where the staff is always above and beyond otherwise. But the not feeding a meal, or skipping supplements/meds because it's too much work is pretty terrible.

The other thing I like is that everyone thought our silly outfits were fab and they seem to enjoy when I let my weirdness hang out all over. Which is good, cause I'm weird, and it's gonna show.

Bridles: Joseph Sterling
Brow Bands: Home made by me
Bonnets: Woof Wear, embellished by me
Headbands: Peeps brand

I forgot Al's bunny head band. He DID have one, I just failed to put it on him. Terrible mother, though likely he didn't notice anyway.

Saddles: Eros and Al have Butet and Shiny's is the Brockamp bareback pad
Saddle Pads: Shiny and Eros have Ogilvy and Eros has a brand I can't recall... 
Half Pads: Eros' is Le Mieux and Al's is built into his pad

Full disclosure, Eros and Shiny shared the same pad this time. I didn't have enough peeps ribbon to make a third pad.

Boots: Premier Equine, embellished by me

Eros wore boots instead of polos this day because I don't have interchangeable polos for him... Yet! But I am going to fix that very soon.

So that's what the horses wore for Easter, and here's what I had on:

Top to bottom peeps! All the weird, all over. And yes, I actually do enjoy a peep now and then. I'll never understand how a sugar covered marshmallow could be disliked. 

Helmet: One K Avance CCS MIPS

I fell short with the hat and boots. Completely forgot to grab my gray one with the purple accents and also forgot to grab my lavender boots. I'll do better next year.

Sweatshirt: Fun.com

This was advertised as a sweater, but at a suspiciously low price, so when it arrived and was a sweatshirt I was disappointed, but not surprised. It certainly does the job either way. 

Belt: C4

This belt is one of my favorite things, especially because it has Peeps chicks on it rather than the bunnies. I really can't explain it, but I prefer the chicks to the bunnies.

Breeches: RJ Classics

I as torn between these breeches and another pair I have that matches the trim on the shirt. I went with these, but maybe next year we'll try the others and see which is cutest. Probably with the lavender boots the other breeches will look better. 

Socks: Dreamers And Schemers
Shoes: Healies x Peeps

I got the socks last year when D&S did some really cute Easter themed socks. And actually most of this stuff we've had at least since last year. But I did irresponsibly source two new things this year. The first was the sweatshirt, and the other was these sneakers. I found a coupon code though, and since they're children's sneakers, they weren't very expensive. So I'm not too mad at myself for the little splurge. Plus, how cute are the bunny tongues?? These are Healies sneakers, so you can actually install a wheel underneath and roll around on them. But I'm old with a bad knee, so I doubt I'll be doing that.

And that's it for today! Any favorites? Are you Peeps fan or foe? Even if you're a foe, you have to admit that they are ADORABLE!
