Thursday's Threads

Well. It's outfit day. You guys. My company computer died. So I'm sitting here not really able to do my job. I'm 100% capable of logging in from my personal computer but that's not allowed anymore. Pulling my hair out as I have a TON to do today. Waiting to hear back from IT if they have another machine for me. What a nightmare.
*UPDATE* had to drive into the office, but got a replacement laptop to use. It's extra weird when these weird days don't go how you expect.
Anyway, here's what I'm wearing to work sit at my desk today:

Winter has made a return to CT. High is 47 today. Of course it is. Since I'll have to actually leave the house to go to the office. (Ugh. Don't want to go.) So I wanted something warm, but also something that felt less wintry. So I went with Flamingos!

Sweater: Sewel

I forgot all about this sweater until I found it organizing my room. It's summery but also made for winter. Perfect for a day like today.

Belt: C4

It doesn't exactly match... but it's cute and I love the shiny pink buckle.

Jeans: True Religion

I went with dark denim today because the Flamingo beaks are navy on the sweater.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is donning this cute flamingo stretch bracelet with the apple watch.

Righty:

Right is donning the fitbit in this bright pink band, another flamingo bracelet, and an Hermes wrap bracelet that I got secondhand from Poshmark awhile back.

And that's it for today. Someday there will be riding outfits again. Just not today.

Thursdays Threads

Outfit Day! I have a riding outfit and a work outfit today, cause I'm a good blogger... I'll start with Shiny's outfit because she's the cutest pony in all the land.

Bridle: QHP Shiva Bridle

I bought these bridles for the horses awhile back, but since everyone was retired, they're stored away. (For now.) When I got Shiny I decided she needed one too. Yes, the crown, browband, and noseband are green leather! The bridle is really cute! It's not the highest end leather by any means but the price point reflects that. It comes with web reins which aren't really my preference, so I'm going to swap them out whenever I get around to it. Shiny is wearing a cob size, and it fits her perfectly. The bridle comes in a few different color options, I believe there is navy, gray, and burgundy. They also come in plain black or brown, but that's kind of boring... AND they're on sale over at Deco Pony right now. Use code 20OFF to save 20%. The bridle is $125 so with the code it's $100. Not bad for a bridle this cute that comes with reins!

She's also sporting a rainbow bit. I got this one on ebay so I'm not sure of the brand. Punk Ponies carries them though!

Saddle Pad: Premier Equine
Saddle: Butet

You guys didn't think I had only bought one saddle pad for the pony did you? Lol. Do you even know me? I actually bought this one first to see if it was going to work. It was on sale for $40 USD so I figured I'd start with that and see if the design was going to work. When it did, I got the purple one you saw last week. I prefer the more square version than this shaped one. But I like this one well enough too. I hope they come out with some other color options.

Boots: Punk Ponies

Obviously my little golden pony needs golden boots! I bought this pair alone to see how the sizing was, but she has some other colors on the way now. I would have preferred green with this outfit, so I'm looking forward to those getting here! But these worked well with my outfit, so all was not lost.

I decided to match Miss Shiny, because why not?

I like that her pads both have green fleece. I have many items of apparel that work with that!

Helmet: Charles Owen

You guys remember Greenie? I still love this helmet. SO much.

Top: Smartpak

I snagged this one from the clearance section a few weeks ago. Can't have too many sunshirts!

Belt: Pony Locks

My belt made from Jampy's tail arrived not long ago, and I decided it was time to wear it. This really came out beautifully. I HIGHLY recommend Pony Locks if you want something special done with your horse's tail. You can choose the padding color and from a few different designs. This one was my favorite. It has hunter green padding. The hair is braided and you can see it on two sides. There is a break in the exact middle in the back where this nameplate with his name is affixed. And I upgraded to the horse shoe buckle. You can also choose nickle hardware instead of brass if you prefer. It's incredibly well made and the process was very easy.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

These are hunter green, but the photo washed out a bit. TS breeches still fit me the best. I wish that weren't true. But facts are facts.

Boots: Fama 4 All

You guys haven't seen these in a bit! They could use a washing... But they're breaking in nicely and I'm still so in love with them! I mean, how awesome to have your farm logo cut out of your boots?! You'll notice I'm not wearing spurs. It seems my troubles with Shiny were directly related to her hatred of spurs. So I go without and we are both happy now.

So that's what I wore to ride! Here's what I'm wearing at work today:

It's cold and raining, so I needed a sweater. But I still wanted to feel summery so I picked one with a flamingo on it. I'm definitely having a moment with flamingos this year!

Sweater: Modcloth

I think this is so cute with the Flamingo wrapped around the collar. Like a birdie hug all day long!

Belt: Mane Jane

Obviously the flamingo pink belt strap was the way to go here... I have a C4 flamingo belt, but it's aqua and pink and wasn't quite right for the sweater. This was though!

Jeans: Lucky Brand

You guys may notice I've been wearing Lucky Brand jeans a lot lately. They had them on super clearance at Marshalls a few months back, and I totally stocked up. They're so comfy and the fit is really nice for me. So you'll probably keep seeing them.

Shoes: Bucket Feet

I've had these awhile now. I think you've seen them before even. They're SUPER comfy and perfect for a rainy summer day.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is wearing a wire bracelet I made I think last year. It has cute little sleeping flamingos on the ends!

Righty:

Righty is donning the cutest, daintiest, little flamingo bracelet from Pura Vida, my fitbit is in that pretty rosegold wrap bracelet, and the super shiny cuff in back is from Kate Spade.

And that's it for today! Thoughts on flamingos? Any favorites from today? Are you going to get a new bridle from the Deco Pony sale?

Thursday's Threads: Flamingo Edition

It's AMAZING out there today! Not a cloud in the sky and I think we're going to be around mid 80's. THIS is my weather. Finally! To celebrate, I decided to dress for the tropics.

It's hard to tell from far away, but there are a lot of flamingos happening here. I'm extra bummed the horses aren't working because they have matching flamingo outfits too. I'm sure eventually I'll get to share those though. And I mean, you can't have too many flamingo posts can you?

Top: Velvet Heart

How adorable is this loose fitting button down? I saw it at Marshalls and got super grabby hands about it. I already had the shoes (you'll see them soon, be patient) so I obviously had to own this too.

Belt: Mane Jane

To mix things up a little today, I paired a Mane Jane belt strap with an "H" buckle.

Jeans: Kut From the Kloth

My camera wasn't picking it up, but these actually have a really subtle pink wash to them. Perfect for a flamingo theme!

Shoes: Bucket Feet

I know. So Cute! I got these either last year or the year before, but have only worn them a few times. Definitely perfect with the top!

Accessories:
Tote: Kate Spade

I've been using a tote bag as a purse for awhile out of laziness, but it's pretty convenient because it holds so much stuff! The one I've been using is one of those ones  you can print a photo on. The photo on it was my holiday card photo... Clearly not appropriate for the season. So I switched to this one today.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Left is sporting a Stacie original. I found this tutorial on a bead store's blog, and altered it to have a Flamingo theme. I think it came out pretty cute!

Righty:

Righty is donning this ridiculously cute rhinestone flamingo cuff and two beaded bracelets from Pura Vida. The first has a little rose gold flamingo charm. So tiny!

That's it from here today! What are you wearing? Have any favorites?

Thursdays Threads!

Happy Outfit Day everyone! It's another awesome summer day here in New England, and nothing screams New England Summer like Flamingos! Oh wait... no. No, we don't have Flamingos here in New England. Whatever. I'm wearing them today anyway.

I'm making casual Thursday a thing. Also, please take notice of the puggie in the window. Alright, let's look closer!

Top: Kate Spade

If you aren't on Kate Spade's email list, you should get on there asap. They have incredible sales every so often and you can find their ridiculously expensive items for actual reasonable prices. This t-shirt is a prime example. I love that it says Strut Your Stuff down there by the flamingo's long legs. So cute!

Pants: Celebrity Pink

These pants WOULD NOT photograph their actual color. It's definitely closer to what you see above in the full length picture. Anyway, these pants have become a favorite. They are SO SOFT and SO STRETCHY! Like wearing classy jammies. I found these on the Facebook trading page for Moxie.Style. They were too short for the lady who bought them, but they are perfect on me!

Shoes: BucketFeet

So you don't know this because I'm ridiculously late every morning and don't have time to change my purse. BUT I have a Kate Spade tote and wallet that match these shoes almost exactly. I had hoped to bust them out today, but it didn't happen. The shoes are still super cute with the t-shirt though.

Arm Party!!
Lefty:

 Lefty is wearing the exact same thing as last week... Geeze Lefty, change your clothes! The two cuff bracelets are from Swanky Saddle and the watch I'm sure you recognize by now.

Righty:

I have zero idea the brands on any of these bracelets. So my apologies for not helping you google search them on your own. But everything except the flamingo came in a stack from Zulily. The Flamingo I bought from an indy store that has since gone out of business. I love the colors on all of these and they go perfectly with today's casual outfit!

Riding outfit, lazy edition...

I wore this outfit last weekend at the horse show. I felt a little awkward taking outfit photos in public, so I tried not to let anyone see... the result? Lazy photos. And a finger over the top of the lens. Blogger photo fail! Whatever, the outfit is still cute.

Top: US Polo Association

This is one of the tops I found when US Polo Assn was on Zulily about a month ago. The tops run a little small in the shoulders which is a bummer, but I love the colors!

Breeches: SmartPak

I really like these denim breeches. If comparing to actual denim, I'd say they're like jegging material. Nice and stretchy, but thick enough to not feel like pull on breeches. (They are not pull ons!) I like the light colored stitching on them too. Makes them a little extra cute.

Belt: Mane Jane

Well if that's not an awkward photo, I don't know what it is.... My apologies for the crotch shot. Perhaps I should have edited this one. Angles aside, how awesome does the Mane Jane navy, patent croc belt look with this outfit?! Perfect.

Boots: Parlanti

I wore my Parlanti's at the show. I brought them in case by some miracle I actually got to compete, and decided to wear them anyway to make sure they still fit. They do! I'm starting to love these boots.

That's it for Thursday's Threads today! What are you wearing? Have a favorite piece from above? Let's talk clothes in the comments!
