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


I nearly forgot to do a Thursday's Threads today! Ooops! But I remembered with plenty of hours to spare. Yay me! Today I spent the day riding my yellow horse and watching my trainer show in the 1.35 Meter jumpers at WEF. Great day if you ask me! Thus, today's outfit is a riding outfit:
Sorry about this hugely awkward photo. But my tired butt was unable to move from that chair.

Top: Dakini
I had never heard of this brand but found a similar top last year at Marshalls and fell in love. It's a very light weight washable wool. They are pretty pricey, but I found this one on clearance for around $25. If you ever see one, definitely grab it! It's on the cool side here today and quite windy, so I was happy to have a wool long sleeve shirt to wear! (Also, it has thumbholes making it the best shirt ever.)

Breeches: Ariat
Again, sorry for the awful photo. There was a shadow that I was unwilling to move out of. These Ariat breeches are awesome. They are navy with an aqua blue (turquoise maybe) stitching. They fit perfectly, and I wish they made other colors.

Belt: Mane Jane
I'm still so in love with this belt. I think I may have to order another color or two... The neat thing about Mane Jane is you can order just the belt strap. Since I already have a buckle, I don't need to pay full price for another belt with buckle.

Shoes: Margaritaville
These are my barn boat shoes. They have stood around in mud, walked through dry, dusty rings, and cleaned stalls. I take terrible care of them and treat them with reckless abandon. And yet they are still going strong. I bought them at least three years ago in VT. I had been shopping in town and realized I didn't have shoes with me to do night check. Rather than drive back to the hotel, I stopped at the shoe store and found these in the clearance section for $10. That's money well spent my friends.

I don't ride with an arm party, so I just wore my apple watch today:
And that's it for Thursday's threads! As punishment for my throwing this view in all of your faces:
I now have 11 new bug bites. And probably Zika.
