Thursday's Threads: English Cowgirl edition

 

We went from t-shirt weather to winter in like 2.5 seconds. It was in the upper 80's over the weekend and today's high was 57. Tonight's low? 35. Ugh. Had to dig out the heavies to put on at night check. Good thing I organized the shed this weekend and they were very easy to find! Anyway, you're not here to talk about the weather. Let's get to outfit day! Shiny was our model and here's what she had on:

She was zero percent interested in standing for photos today. Because there's still a fat pony in there and there are leaves on the ground that should be eaten. Or so she told me.

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Home made

Had a brilliant idea today on how to make this outfit better... We'll have to see if it comes to fruition at some point. But let's just say it would involve this part of the outfit.

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Hopeful Equestrian
Half Pad: Mattes

Look at that pretty saddle on my girl... I let her borrow Al's green half pad. Shiny put one of her own on her wishlist for Chanukah. We'll see if she gets one. I miss Hufglocken's incredibly good prices for these things. I haven't found anywhere comparable. So far Pink Equine has the best prices that I've found, but with import fees now.... who knows.

Boots: Celeris UK

I use these very minimally because I can't really clean them with the hair on hide on the outside. But I do love them!

That's what Shiny wore this week, and here's what I had on:

It seems like every clothing company is making horsey clothes this year. Some better than others... But I'm here for it! (My wallet less so.) I thought this boot sweater would be fun with my cow print. 

Helmet: One K CCS MIPS

I covered some extra inserts I had for this helmet with this cow print vinyl to go with my boots, and I think it's pretty fab. It's a little wrinkly and pretty clearly DIY but whatever. Good enough!

Sweater: Wild Skye

Saw this adorable sweater at Marshall's for $16 and figured it was a must have. Plus I had rewards money to spend there so really it was free! (Girl Math at its finest.)

Belt: Unbranded

I got this belt when I was in college. There was leather artisan with a pop up kiosk in the tiny local mall there and that's where I got this. It had a different buckle though. Not sure what happened to it. This one looks cute with it though!

Breeches: Equiline

It was very much too cold for these pants today. Should have worn the Dover ones. I didn't think I'd need heavy breeches just yet!

Boots: Celeris UK

I think I've finally concluded that these are my most favorite pair of boots I own. And that's saying a lot. I still have many pair! I fully intend when the day comes that these need to retire I will figure out a way to replace them. They are a must have for my closet.

Okay, that's it for today! What did you think of my English Cowgirl outfit?
