Thursday's Threads

Happy Outfit Day! It's boring today, no riding outfit. Boo. Probably not next week either. Double boo. I will probably have a running outfit to share next week though, so I guess that's something. Despite no pony clothes, I do have a fun pineapple outfit today! (I know pineapples again!)

SHINY pineapples! I love me some sparkles. Just, you know, not on my horses' clothes.

Top: H&M

Aren't they cute?! Sequin pineapples > regular pineapples. What I especially love about this top is that the decorations are on BOTH sides. I really hate when just the front is adorned.

Belt: C4

You all saw this last time I wore pineapples. I still haven't made this belt end into a bracelet though. Soon!

Jeans: Rebrand

I actually bought these to use for my Yankees jeans, but then decided on a different pair. They were on clearance for $8 though, so I kept them anyway. I kind of love light jeans for summer.

Sandals: Lily Pulitzer for Target

Sorry. I still haven't gotten my feet prettied up. Gross. Anyway, these sandals I told you about last time. I was going to wear a pair of my Soludos shoes that have pineapples on them, but they are a different denim color than the jeans and it wasn't working... So I went back to these. Which always work! So cute.

Accessories:
Phone Case: Ebay find

Phones like to dress up to you know.

Necklace: Zulily find

I really love amber. So when I saw this pineapple with amber I got grabby hands.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing this really fun bracelet I got from Etsy years ago. It's my name! It's super delicate, so I don't wear it too much. I don't want to ruin it.

Righty:

Righty is wearing a bar bracelet that I found on Ebay. It's pretty fun, you actually screw that bar in as the clasp. The middle one is a stretch bracelet from Buena Vida with the cutest little pineapple bead in the middle! And the little cuff at the end was another ebay find.

So that's it for today. Sorry for the lack of riding outfits, I know that's what most want to see. Someday those will be weekly again. Thanks for being patient and coming back to visit anyway! Any favorites from today?

Thursday's Threads: Pineapple edition

Happy outfit day everyone! It's a perfect summer day here. Highs in the low 80's and it's not even that humid out, only 50%! I still dressed like I'm on a beach vacation though. #employeeoftheyear

I really don't know what I would do if I had to dress like an actual grown up on the regular. Let's hope I don't get fired any time soon.

Top: H&M

I saw this cute t-shirt in the window at H&M last year, and had to grab one. It's just so shiny and cute!

Belt: C4

Obviously I had to wear the pineapple C4 belt! I have the matching boot socks, but alas, no need for them today. (But I am riding a new horse on Saturday!!! Woooohooo!)

Jeans: Seven

These are probably more like a jegging/jean hybrid. They're fairly heavy like jeans, but so soft and stretchy! Definitely on the favorite list.

Shoes: Lilly Pulitzer for Target

I tried to include as little of my toes as possible. Ew. Still need that pedicure I've been talking about since winter... Anyway, do you guys remember the insanity that was the Lilly Pulitzer/Target collaboration? That was ridiculous. I got to Target the day of the release 10 minutes after they opened and everything was gone. Literally everything. They had even started taking down the displays. I wound up buying these flip flops from some stranger on Instagram. Worth it though, they're so cute!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing this super dainty pineapple bracelet that I found on ebay along with my apple watch.

Righty:

Righty is donning this green leather wrap bracelet that I made along with a gold Juicy Couture bracelet. I was lacking in the pineapple themed bracelets, but I thought a crown reminded me of the top of a pineapple... kind of? Ok that's a stretch. Fear not though, I DO have a pineapple bracelet coming soon!

Sadly, that's it for today. I'm hoping to have a riding outfit for you guys next week though since I'm riding Saturday. Have any favorites from today?

Thursday's Threads

Outfit Day!!!!!!! AND it's sort of nice out. Currently it's cloudy and sad looking, but it's already almost 60 and I do think the sun will be out later. So very exciting! I decided to dress for the occasion:

Floral pants and a sweater, because it's spring, but it's still chilly. Duh. Also cameo by the one and only Miss P.

Sweater: H&M

I grabbed this specifically to go with the pants actually. But it's a nice basic and will work with a lot of things I have. Plus it was $12.

Belt: Mane Jane

I pretty much have a Mane Jane strap for every occasion. I'm undecided how well this one is working here... but you can't see it anyway so I guess it doesn't matter really.

Jeans: H&M

There's an H&M outlet that just opened recently at the outlet mall where I get the dog's their food. So I popped in Saturday when I was in the area. I had seen these jeans there a few weeks ago, but was feeling especially cheap and didn't buy them. Turns out, it was smart to be patient! They were marked down to $10 and then were on sale on top of that. I paid $3.50 for them. No lie. Not sure if you can tell, on my computer the photo looks kind of gray, but they are a pretty dark olive green color. I think they would like great with a lilac top too since the flowers have that color in them.

Shoes: Sperry

Yeah... I pretty much have a pair of Sperry's for every outfit too... Sperry + Mane Jane = perfection? I dunno... Works for me!

Arm Party:
Lefty:

Lefty is donning a fun Ettika bracelet. It KIND OF looks like a curb chain with some neutral colored thread woven into it.

Righty:

Righty is wearing this fun springy stack! First up is my #backyardbarn mantra bracelet from KJ's Creations. The next two are both from my jewelry subscription to Nicole's Creations. I LOVE these two! And the colors are perfect with this outfit. And last is a beaded friendship bracelet from Nakamol.

That's what I wore to work today, but I have similarly colored riding outfit to share too! This was from Tuesday.

I didn't take a full photo of my outfit because I planned to grab a screen shot over the cavalleti. Unfortunately, everything came out fuzzy, so this is the best I have today. Sorry...

Helmet: One K Defender

During Helmet Awareness (week/month, whatever it is) Tack of the Day had these on sale for SUPER CHEAP. Like I got two for less than the price of one normally. I already had a black one, so I got the blue and the brown during that sale. I really like these helmets. They're very comfortable and the air blows right through them! Not great when it's 20 degrees out, but lovely the rest of the year.

Shirt: Ariat

I picked these up (this one and a green/blue version) at the end of LAST winter on clearance. They're great tops! Fleece lined, so they're pretty warm without being bulky. Perfect when it's in the 50's or so. I really have no idea what color the stripes are on this shirt. I thought they were a tan color, but in some light they look olive. Let's just call it Khaki color and cover all the bases.

Belt: Ralph Lauren

This was a second hand find. I forget if it was from Ebay or Poshmark, but I LOVE it. Half of it is ribbon with those horse heads on it (it is backed with leather, so it's sturdy) and the other half is a leather strap like you can see on the buckle.  Super cute!

Breeches: Horze Crescendo

Nothing new here. You've seen these a million times. They're starting to look their age, but they're still very comfy so I'm not getting ride of them anytime soon.

Boots: Horka

I haven't worn these in awhile! I really like these boots. They're not super flashy or anything, but they're SO comfy! Not quite as comfy as the Regals, but I'd say these are the runner up in that category. I'm not sure how well they would hold up if I wore them everyday, but they're holding their own so far!

Jampy wore a coordinating outfit too!

Bridle: FSS
Browband: Boy O Boy Bridleworks
Bonnet: Horze

The ears on that bonnet are kind of huge. But they are noise cancelling so we deal with them. Jamp has tiny ears to begin with though, so seeing him with mini mule ears kind of cracks me up. How handsome does he look in that browband though?!

Saddle: Hermes
Baby Pad: Lettia
Half Pad; Le Mieux
Girth: Tough One

I'm not going to lie, I'm really missing that new to me Voltaire I got in the fall... I really need to get down to Florida and get it back! Though at this point I may just wait for them to come up here with it. Still, it was nice riding in a saddle my butt actually fit in. Hermie here is amazing, and I love it. But it's definitely too small for me since the weight gain.
This Le Mieux pad is my favorite non sheepskin pad that I have. It has pockets for shims so I don't need to use a riser pad. The lining in the pad itself is some gel/foam hybrid. Very light weight, but holds its shape. And it's not too thick. Highly recommend if you need a shimmable pad.

Boots: Beval

No lie, these are at minimum 12 years old. They might be older. I don't think they make them anymore. Honestly, I'm not sure Beval has any branded products anymore? Maybe just the bridles? Anyway, these are great when it's muddy. You can wipe them right off, and the liners snap out so you can wash them separately if you want to. I usually just throw the whole thing in the washing machine, but I'm not really sure they were meant for that.

That's it for today! Any favorites? Get any new tack or apparel you're excited about? Enjoying the Spring weather? Let's chat in the comments!

Thursday's Threads

This might technically be Friday's Threads by the time I get it posted... It was a long day! But due to my long day, I have THREE outfits for you! We'll start with Wednesday's riding outfit:

It's cold here. Because spring quit and went home. Seriously. Sunday's high is going to be 37 and it might also snow. Spring, you need to try harder. And soon. But I digress. Let's look at my riding outfit closer.

Top: Stridebox

This sweatshirt was sold as a fundraiser for a little girl fighting neuroblastoma. Such a great cause. Childhood cancers break my heart into tiny little pieces.

Breeches: Unbranded

Pardon my shoes... I hadn't put my boots on yet. These breeches were from my trip to Equine Affair in the fall. I love them so much. I got three pairs that day, and I totally wish I had bought more. Since these don't have a brand on them, I have no idea how to find more of them! Oh, also, they were only $40.

Ok next up is my work outfit from today:

And possibly the most awkward photo ever? I need to work on my posing. Clearly, I'm a rider not a model.

Top: Ariat

I love this sweater so much! (Elbow patches, duh!) I picked this up on sale at my favorite local tack store, Reins. It was after the holidays so it was finally on sale. And was the very last one in my size! WIN!

Jeans: Vigoss

Vigoss jeans are my absolute favorite. They are the perfect length on me and fit my ample butt quite well. Whenever I see them at Marshalls or TJ Maxx I almost always buy them,

Shoes: Lucky Brand

I bought these two years ago right after imposing a no buy on myself. Clearly I failed at that no buy. But these were completely worth it. They're soft leather with brass studs and buckles. So comfy. And they're green, so how could I not?

Arm Party!
Lefty:

 Sad news to report on lefty here... When I went home to change into outfit #3 that adorable pug bracelet broke in half spilling beads all over the laundry room floor. Thankfully I made it myself, so I think I can make it again. And hopefully more successfully!

Righty:

Righty is wearing two bracelets made by me today! The first is a wrap bracelet I constructed years ago. I really should wear it more, I love that one! Next up is a stretch stone bracelet that I know you've seen a few times now.

And on to #3! I had a work function to attend in Syracuse tonight, so I had to pretend like I dress business casual instead of like a hobo.

 Would you look at that?! I practically look professional!

Shirt: H&M

 Yes! That pony shirt came from H&M! I saw it there and had to have it obviously. Who doesn't need a pony shirt? Or three?

Sweater: Tommy Hilfiger

 This is one of those sweaters I've had for a million years. But then it went missing in the dry cleaning pile for possibly two years. I'm glad it's back (and clean) as it was perfect for tonight's event.

Pants: Calvin Klein

 I live 15 minutes away from a Calvin Klein outlet. Thus, anytime I need dress pants, that's where I go! I like how they fit me, and they are a decent quality. I need to head over there to get some new ones soon. Most of mine are short length which is fine if I wear flats, but I can't wear heels with them. And that's annoying.

Shoes: Kensie

Horse bit shoes! Believe it or not, I got these leather shoes from Little Black Bag during one of their insane shoe sales for $5.00! Yes. That's $5.00. I also have them in leopard. Because $5. Obviously. Aside from their bargain price, they are also really comfortable. I was on my feet much of the evening, and they felt great. Sometimes it is nice to wear flats!

So that's what I wore today yesterday. What do you have on? How do you prefer to dress? Work wear? Casual? Hobo?
