Thursday's Threads: May the 4th edition

 

Outfit Day! AND it's a theme day! Sort of. I kind of forgot that I have an appropriate pad and polos for today, so they didn't make it on the horse... Maybe next year. In case you're not a geek and/or related to a geek, today is May 4th, aka May The Fourth, aka Star Wars Day! So here's what I wore today:

Helmet and boots are the same Samshield and black Celeris that I've been wearing, so we're skipping that today.

Top: Star Wars

I wasn't sure this was the best choice in tops today because its effing cold out and raining... But it ended up working fine with a vest over it. How cute is R2D2? I think he's my favorite droid.

Belt: Buckle Down

Obviously I had to wear the R2D2 belt to match. Seatbelt belts are kind of my favorite. I have a few and I'm not sure why I don't wear them more often.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

You guys know I almost never pay retail for anything. And I will almost always choose the cheaper options when available... But I actually paid retail for these breeches because I wanted the color so badly (dark teal). I was still gainfully employed at the time so it wasn't a huge indiscretion at least. These have the sock bottoms so they are the high end TS. I gotta say, the sock bottoms are really nice. Not nice enough to get me to pay more for them generally... but still, very nice.

That's what I had on! And let's see what Eros wore today (he wanted to be our model). 

Bridle: Joseph Sterling

Browband: Dark Jewel Designs

I mean... he said he wanted to model, but then he didn't model very well for his bridle photo... Silly pony.

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy Baby Pad
Half Pad: Mattes

It almost bothers me that I like the Ogilvy baby pads so much. I never wanted to. But they are very nice and they stay put really well. Eros has pretty big movement through his shoulders and most pads bunch up on him, but these don't at all. 

Boots: Eskadron

Back in the green version this week! Fun fact, I bought them each a second pair of these when they moved to the clearance section because I like them so much and I know it's not possible that they will love forever. I mean, maybe they will? But just in case they don't, we are prepared.

And that's it for today! I'm actually really sad I forgot about the matching horse outfits. But I'm old. And also still not back at home so I'm not seeing what I have a on daily basis. I'll try to do better next year!

That's it for today! May the 4th be with you! 

Thursday's Threads

Outfit day falls on a very special day this year... May the 4th! Star Wars Day! Growing up, my brother was Star Wars obsessed. So as a good sister, I saw all the movies and became a much less fanatical fan myself. While I wouldn't find myself waiting overnight in line for tickets or anything crazy, I do enjoy the franchise. And thus, definitely down to celebrate Star Wars Day. You can probably imagine what that entails if you're me...

I know. I really know how to get in the spirit of things. Wait till you get the closeup experience!

T-shirt: Rock and Republic
Long sleeve T: Old Navy

Sadly it's not warm enough here yet for short sleeves so I had to layer. My mom actually gave me this shirt for Chanukah, and I was pretty excited for it. Bedazzled Darth Vader? Duh. Yes Please!

Jeans: Henry and Belle

These pants are totally bad ass. They're thinner than denim, but are similar to coated jeans. I guess they're like coated cotton? I dunno. Whatever they are, they're stretchy and comfy and have zipper ankles. Bad ass.

Shoes: Irregular Choice

These are potentially the most epic pair of flats that I own. And that's saying something. They're C3PO, covered in glitter, and have these awesome soles. I mean... Do you have more epic shoes that these? If you do, you best email me proof.

Accessories:
Thanks to Zulily and a sub box named Fandom of the Month, I have a pretty fabulous Star Wars themed jewelry collection.
Necklace:

I actually had choices here, (dork alert: level Red) and decided to go with this wire necklace that actually reads Jedi, though it's hard to see in the photo.


Arm party!
Lefty:

Yep, that's Darth there in some rhinestone glory next to my apple watch. They make a good team.

Righty:

It was impossible to get a decent photo of righty today. Too much going on. First up is a wrap bracelet from Fandom of the Month. It reads "The force is strong with this one." Next up is a charm bracelet featuring some of the original cast: Chewy, C3PO, a storm trooper, and of course Darth Vader. The last two bangles feature R2D2 and Luke & Leah respectively.

Ok, enough geeking out, I'm sure what you really came for was last night's riding outfit! So here it is:

It was pretty chilly last night, in the mid 50's with stupid wind. So I had to layer a bit!

Polo and Sweatshirt: Annie's Equestrian

I had actually thought these two pieces were the same plaid, but they're actually not. Oops. Close enough though. Don't tell the fashion police!

Breeches: Ariat

These are oldies but goodies. I think I got them 3 years ago, and they haven't died  yet!

Belt: Burberry

The plaid on the polo short is almost the same as Burberry's! Closer than the sweatshirt is anyway...

Boots: HKM Equestrian

I haven't worn these in awhile, and figured it was a good time to break them out last night. I remembered why I don't wear them much... The foot is a little too big. It's not terrible, but I do wish I had sized down. Jampy wanted to match me, so he wore these awesome front boots from Le Mieux:

I know. We're the most awesome momma-pony duo. That's love my friends.

And that's what I'm wearing this week! What do you have on? Do you celebrate May the 4th?
