Thursday's Threads: Travel Edition

Outfit Day! I mentioned yesterday that I'm heading to Florida to visit Badger today, so I have just one outfit to share, and it has layers. Obviously. It's a beautiful day here, 60 and sunny! In December! It's almost hard to leave. Almost. Anyway, here's what I'm wearing today:

When traveling south in December it's important to wear layers so you don't get hypothermic en route to the airport and don't get heat stroke upon landing. Although the temperature difference today will only be about 10-15 degrees. I'm happy to be able to check my jacket instead of carrying it on. I'm sure I'll need it Monday when I get back, otherwise I'd just leave it home!

Sweater and Button Down: J Crew

I broke my rule of refusing to step foot in a retail outlet on Black Friday this year. My bestie wanted to make a couple stops while she was home so I agreed to join her. We went to J Crew where everything was 60% off and I bought presents for no one but myself. (Sorry, not sorry.) And these two tops were them. I love the fox sweater, and thought the plaid button down looked perfect with it.

Jeans: Rue21

You're seen these before. They definitely have become a favorite of mine. It's super exciting when a $9.99 pair of jeans earns favorite status.

Belt: Burberry

The plaids aren't exact on the belt and top, but I think they're similar enough to pull this off. Plus, you can't actually see the belt anyway.

Shoes: Vince Camuto

Well, this is rare... I wore these boots last week on Thursday's Threads too. I like to try and space wearings out usually, but they go perfectly with the sweater so couldn't be helped!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

I kept the arm party really simple today because I don't want to have to take 90 bracelets off to go through security. So apple watch is on his own today.

Righty:

Righty is sporting a slightly creepy fox bangle from Betsey Johnson. His pink gemstone eyes are definitely a bit creepy, but I still think he's cute.

And that's all I have for today! It poured buckets the last few days so I didn't have a riding outfit to share. Maybe next week!
Do you have a favorite piece from today's outfit? Do you like critters on your clothes, or think they're too kiddy? I love them obviously! What are you wearing today?

Thursday's Threads

It's Outfit Day! My favorite! AND I have a riding outfit today. No running outfit, though I did actually get my lazy behind out the door this morning. I wore the same thing I wore last time, so no need to repost! We'll start with the riding outfit since I skipped that last week.

 I really need a mirror in the barn... But you get the idea!

My dad and stepmom brought this back for me when they went to Italy. They have great taste don't they? It's a little snug at the moment... but my spare tire isn't showing so I guess it's ok!

Breeches: SmartPak Piper

I just got these breeches this week since they were on sale. I wanted to LOVE them! And I kind of do. But not as much as I'd hoped. I love everything about them as far as looks: the stitching, the piped pockets, the sock bottoms! And they're mostly comfortable to ride in. Unfortunately, while not riding, they do that saggy crotch things that some breeches can do.  I may still get another color combo next time they're on sale... But I'm not as excited as I wanted to be.

Belt: Vintage Gucci from Ebay (of course)

How could I not? Gucci AND a pony all on one buckle?! Yes please. I won't bore you with my boots. They're the same Tuffrider Sport model you've seen before.

And now... Work outfit! Spoiler: I kept it comfortable today.

Special Appearance by Artie the Party today

You all know I'm a mint-a-holic. So I figured it was time for some more mint green on the blog.

Top: Rue 21

This top is super fun (it was also super cheap... I think I paid $3.00 for it). The black and white chevron portion is a sheer polyester type material, while the sleeves are a cotton/poly blend making them opaque and stretchy. Which is good because I have such big guns. Hahaha. No really. I'm a beast.

Pants: Rue 21

I'm confident you've all seen these before. They're mint green denim also from Rue 21. I got them at the end of last summer and probably paid $10 for them. Ha! My outfit was $13.00. Not bad!

Belt: Burberry

So pretty much, if you're a brand, and you put a pony or something pony related in your logo, I will want your stuff. Truth.

Shoes: Sperry Topsider (kids)

These shoes, while super cute and I wear them a lot, are evil. They've given me huge blisters almost every time I wear them. And yet... I keep wearing them! Cute though right?

Arm party!!!!!!
Lefty:

All repeats over there. The braided metal cuff from BaubleBar, my awesome sunnies bracelet from Kate Spade (seriously, how amazing is it?!), and my trusty Rolex.

Righty:

Righty is super fun! First is the mint and gold stretch bracelet I made, next three are from Pura Vida. And the last one with the butterflies came from Ebay.

That's what I'm wearing today! What do you have on?
