Thursday's Threads

Happy Thursday friends! Following in my last few editions, I have three outfits to share today! We'll go back wards this time, just to mix it up. Let's start with my work outfit:

I'm supposed to be not shopping... but you know stuff happens and you find sweaters for $10. I loved this green and when I got it home realized it would be perfect with my gradient pants!

Top: Retro-Ology

It's just an apple green cotton sweater. But I love the cut and the color so much! Good find!

Pants: Rue 21

I've had these jeans for a couple years, but I hadn't been wearing them because I thought they were really small. I pulled them out after getting the sweater though, and discovered they are in fact my size. Oops. Glad I looked! They're fun and different!

Shoes: Old Navy

I swear, my wardrobe has just been waiting for this sweater to find me. These shoes are kind of straw-like, and the pattern reminds me so much of the sweater. They're even the same color! I've had the shoes for awhile too. They're ridiculously comfortable for being inexpensive Old Navy brand.

Accessories:
Necklace: Swarovski

I saw this little watermelon on Zulilly and decided it needed to be mine. I want to get an extender for the chain though, it's a little shorter than I like. So summery though! Love it!

Clutch: Nila Anthony

Ok, so we all know I love me a good fancy-pants leather bag. Truth! But when it comes to kitch, I don't mind a synthetic one. Plus Nila Anthony bags are really high quality synthetic materials. I think this purse is adorable and hope I get a lot of use out of it.

Bracelets:

That stone bangle was another Zulilly find. I don't know the brand though, sorry! I love natural stone so this was a must-have for me! The next one is one of my own creations. I think the beads are actually plastic, but they look like stone. Close enough! And of course, my trusty watch.

Right:

I know, right?! Can you believe I had a bracelet that was ALSO the exact same shade as this sweater? Well I do. This one came from Little Black Bag. Long ago.... It's a nice quality piece, and kind of heavy... but not in a bad way.

Next up... Running Outfit!

It seems we skipped from Summer to Autumn already... So cold here this morning! In the 40's! Brrrrr. So I had to wear all the layers.
Top: Saucony

I had gotten this long sleeve before running the Ragnar Relay: New England. I knew I wanted bright clothes for the night runs! It's very thin which I like, and even has a pocket for my phone!

Shorts: Pony

I think you've already seen this pair. And admittedly the two-in-ones shorts are over kill with the leggings... but they matched and I was in a hurry, so I went with it.

Tights: Hind

I love this brand. I've only ever seen it at Marshall's and TJ Maxx, but I have never disliked anything from them. These tights are awesome. They don't fall down, but still aren't too tight.

Sneakers: Mizuno Wave Sayonara

Last pair of these that I have... I love them.

And last but not least.... Riding Outfit!

Top: Aeropostale

This is an oldy. And you've seen it before about a year and a half ago I think. I still love it, and I think it's perfect with these breeches!

Breeches: Annie's USA

Sorry for so many photos. But Annie's has these awesome new breeches with the rhinestones on the pockets. I HAD to have them! And they've made a few improvements to the breeches too. The knee patch now have euro seat and and these sock-like bottoms instead of the velcro. They're still too long for me, but the soft bottoms fold up nicely without bunching under my boots. Annie's suggested trying the children's next time, but I'm not sure my bum will fit...

Belt: No Brand

I found this on Ebay. I'm guessing it's supposed to be a knock-off Hermes? But I've never seen an Hermes buckle like this one... I like it anyway though. The teal belt is a great color, and the buckle itself is silver toned with gold-tone edges. Best of all worlds!

Boots: Tuffrider Sport

I think I've mentioned having these before, but don't recall if I've shown them to you or not. They're similar to the regals, but are a dress boot (meaning no laces). They also have an added elastic strip in the front. At first I thought they were hideously ugly, but I actually rather like them now. They are SO COMFORTABLE both in the saddle and out. Great for everyday.

What are you wearing today?

Thursdays Threads

Happy Thursday! It's time for another edition of Thursday's Threads! My favorite post! Woohoo!
We'll start with my riding outfit from last night:

I kept it simple with a solid polo and tan breeches. Let's look closer!
Top: Express

This polo shirt is REALLY OLD! I also have it in navy. They're from Express and I love that they are longer than normal polo shirts. Thus, they stay tucked in. No matter the rise on  your breeches!

Belt: Gucci

I think I showed this one to you last week too. Simple, leather, classic.

Breeches: Ariat

These are older also. They don't have the Euro seat that is popular today for breeches, but for schooling at home I don't really care about that. These are very comfy, and I kind of wish I had more of them.

Boots: Parlanti

Slowly but surely getting these babies broken in! I really want to show in them at Saratoga, but some days they make my feet fall asleep... (Someone needs to lose a few lbs... <<sigh>>)
Jampy wanted to share his outfit too:
Saddle pad: Lettia baby pad
Half pad: Mae Equestrian
Saddle: Hermes Essentielle

 Bridle: Da Vinci

Ok now on to today! I met up with Vanessa this morning for our run. I've been avoiding shorts due to an unfortunate chaffing incident on my 10 miler... But this morning was pretty warm and VERY humid, so I decided to take my chances.

It's always a good idea to wear bright colors for your morning run! Those half asleep drivers need to see you!
Top: Nike

 I like these tanks. They're very light weight but not see through. Even when I sweat like a man.
Shorts: Hind

I really love the 2-in-1 shorts as I've mentioned before. The inner shorts on this particular pair is a little looser than I like, and they tend to ride up a bit, but they're not awful. Better for shorter runs though.
I won't bore you with my sneakers since you've seen them a million times by now. We'll move on to my work outfit!

Springy and flowy today! I was in the mood to wear some pink. It's kind of overcast today, so the day needs a little brightening.

Top: Max Studio

I lean more toward preppy than bohemian generally... but I love this top! It's simple, yet pretty, and works well with my loud colored pants.

Pants: Vintage Havana

Not a great shot is it? I was trying to show you the tan colored stitching on these, but I think I failed at that. You'll have to take my word that it's there! These jeans are pretty fab. They have just the right amount of stretch and the color is fun!

Shoes: Sperry Top Sider

Um... I accidentally bought more Sperry's... Rue La La was having a shoe sale. It happens. How do you NOT buy sequin covered boat shoes? Especially when they're pink, silver, AND gold? No really, how? Because clearly I need an intervention.

Arm party:

Ok so last week I said all my jewelry is fake. That's not entirely true. MOST of it is but not all. This gorgeous leather wrap bracelet was a gift from my dad and stepmom and it is the real deal straight from Hermes in NYC. I love it so much! My trusty watch was left to me in a will, so that bad boy also is real. The little bangle however is costume.

Right:

These on the other hand (literally and figuratively... I'm so punny!) are inspired designs I found on Ebay. I thought the glitter bangle was perfect with my new Sperry's!

So those are all my outfits today. What are you wearing? What's your favorite from today's assortment?
