Thursday's Threads: Halloween Edition

 

Outfit Day! We got rained out today, but I made sure to get outfit day photos earlier in the week just in case. And we went full ridiculous for this Halloween edition. Shiny is our model this week and here's what she was wearing:

That's right. We brought back the candy corn! It's been several years since we've used this outfit, so I thought it was time to bring it back.

Bridle: M.Toulouse

I got these bridles ages ago, and almost sold them, but then just decided to keep them for this outfit. These browbands don't have snaps, so it's nice not to have to change them onto one of my other bridles when I want to use them.

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: The Riders Closet (Etsy)

Half Pad: Ippico

It's kinda fun seeing a Butet on Shiny. One that fits her I mean. It's amazing the difference a saddle can make. Her old one was fine, but I could never use my whole leg on her. But now I can! And it's making a huge difference in our flatwork. 

Boots: Horze

I decorated these with Duct tape awhile back and it's still hanging on just fine! Duct tape is the best.

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

All the orange and yellow. ALL OF IT!

Helmet: One K

Yep, also duct tape on here. I'm telling you, that stuff rules.

Quarter Zip: Dover Saddlery
Tee shirt: Walmart

I got this fabulous candy corn colored unicorn shirt from the children's section at Walmart a couple years ago and then promptly forgot about it. But I rediscovered it and knew it was time to bring back the candy corn look for our Halloween edition this year. It was cold this week though, so I had to layer it. 

Belt: C4

Matches my duct tape perfectly! Ha! Love it!

Breeches: Vestrum

I like the Vestrum breeches, but they're pretty pricey. Unless you happen to find ridiculous colors that you like and then you can grab them really cheap on closeout. I also have a yellow pair which I wore for Halloween last year when I was Winnie the Pooh. 

Boots: TuffRider Regal

Yes, duct tape details. AND duct tape spur straps. I've been wearing them all week and they're fine! Perhaps I should stop buying spur straps and just use duct tape exclusively. 

Bonus photo because at some point I wrapped an old crop with the duct tape too and it's too fun not to share. 

That's it for this week! Do you prefer my crazy candy corn getup or an actual Halloween costume? I don't have a costume this year anyway, but what do you prefer for next year?
