Thursdays Threads

Outfit Day! And since I spent the day at the horse show, I have a riding outfit AND a normal person outfit today. What I don't have is an arm party. Oh well, can't have everything. We'll start with today's riding outfit.

I can't zoom in on this or it gets grainy, but you'll see better when we look closer.

Top: Joules

I got this one when one of the local tack stores was closing. I had seen it before, but couldn't bring myself to pay full price for it. Once I found it for 75% off, I was sold! I probably can't ride in this one at home. It's far too white for me to be trusted playing with ponies in it. But here where I'm spoiled with a groom, I can pull it off.

Breeches: Grand Prix

These came from Tack of the Day awhile back. I love all the pockets. They're also a great material and super comfy.

Belt: Mane Jane

You've all seen my Mane Jane a million times. But I still love it so much!

Socks: Dreamers and Schemers

We all know how cheap frugal I can be, so I bet you're shocked that I would own expensive boot socks. Fear not. Dreamers and schemers occasionally sells what they call derp socks. Derp socks have some kind of printing imperfection on them somewhere so they sell them two for the price of one. I love me a good bargain! So I bought a few pairs. These are the party on top version. They have a black band at the top in case they pop out of your boot, they aren't as noticeable. I love that!

Ok, now on to my non riding outfit:

I think you've seen this entire outfit before....

Top: Tommy Hilfiger

A little black and white lumberjack. This shirt has tabbed sleeves so you can roll them up. I had them rolled for dinner, but just unrolled them as it got cooler. Convertible shirts are my favorite!

Jeans: True Religion

I got these at the Saks outlet around the holidays. I've always been really cheap with pants, but I splurged a little on these, and I honestly have zero regrets. They fit me perfectly and are so comfy!

Belt: C4

I think we're all well versed in my obsession over these by now. But how could I pass up a black and white lumberjack belt?! I couldn't.

Shoes: Sperry

These are oldies but goodies! I love the little bit of gold on the tongue and the brass rivets.

That's what I wore today! What about you? Were you in the path of the miserable blizzard back home? Have a favorite from today?

Thursday's Threads

It's OUTFIT day! A rainy one at that. But let me tell you, it hasn't rained here in almost two weeks. We really need it. My riding arena is like the Sahara. And the horses are actually spooking at their own dust clouds. Ridiculous. So without further ado, here are today's outfits!

Work Outfit:

I needed something easy, yet respectable today. I got home at 1:00 AM from the Yankee Game last night, and outfit planning was far too tricky today.

Top: 12PM by Mon Ami

I'm so in love with this top. It's a dolman, which is hard to see because the bottom really blends right into my jeans. I got this one from Moxie.style and I completely love it! This was part of a special promotion they were running called FAME, and I don't think will be available on the website. But it might. We'll find out in a few weeks!

Pants: Earl Jeans

These are oldies but goodies and have been on the blog lots of times. Everyone needs a pair of black skinny jeans in their closet. At least one.

Shoes: Nine West

These are also oldies but goodies! Black ballet shoes are an important staple for any working lady. I think most Nine West shoes are insanely comfortable. Also, I live about 15 minutes from two different Nine West outlets so they are also really affordable. (Please excuse the bug bites on my feet.)

Arm Party!
Lefty:

I know! I wore a different watch today! Just keeping you all on your toes. First we have some stretch bracelets from the now defunct Little Black Bag. They came with a gold one also, but I decided to stick with the gunmetal and silver today. Next is a rhinestone bracelet from Stella and Dot. And lastly is my A-Line watch. That bad boy retailed for something ridiculous like $650, but I got it from Rue La La for $79 about three years ago. It's on its second battery, but it's a great watch!

Right:

The first two both come from Express... I think. The first one definitely. The middle one possibly not. But I can't remember where it is from if not Express... so we'll just go with that. The last one is one I put together myself. The bangle and the bead both came from my favorite online bead store: Goodybeads.com

Riding Outfit:

This might be one of my most favorite yet.

Top: Tory Burch

Why yes, those ARE well dressed ponies on my t-shirt, thanks for noticing! This was the most amazing Tory Burch print ever created. Hands down. I also bought the shirt dress and the tote bag in this pattern. How could I not? And before you judge too hard, I got them all on end of season clearance at 60% off. Best purchases ever.

Breeches: Grand Prix

These are your basic schooling breech. Cotton blend, nice navy color, euroseat. They're very comfy!

Belt: No brand

So the H buckle is one of my ebay finds of long ago. It came on a black leather belt. This orange ostrich pattern belt is also from ebay. I'm not sure if there's a brand on it? But I think it looks awesome with my H buckle! I call this Hermes-ish.

Alright, that's it for today! What are you wearing? Do you have a favorite item from above?
