Thursday's Threads: May the 4th Edition

 

May 4th fell on a Monday this year, but that didn't stop Shiny and I from wearing our best Star Wars outfit for this week's Thursday's Threads! Here's what Shiny had on:

I've always loved the robots in Stars Wars (the droids if you will) so obviously Shiny is sporting her finest R2D2 outfit. 

Bridle: Punk Ponies
Bonnet: Etsy

We haven't used our holo bridles in AGES! In fact, that last time Shiny wore hers was before she switched to her leather bit. So that's several years. Time to bust them out again, clearly! This bonnet is a little big on her because it's horse size. I'm pretty sure I got this set before I Shiny came here. 

Saddle: Butet
Half Pad: Le Mieux
Baby Pad: Etsy

I cannot for the life of me remember who the seller was I bought this set from. But I know she was on Etsy. It might have been Hopeful Equestrian, but I'm not confident on that. 

Shiny didn't wear boots this day, so I don't have anything to share here. So I guess it's my turn!

I dressed like space. 

Helmet: Samshield

Shiny helmet is a must for a Star Wars outfit on Shiny pony. Obviously.

Tee: Star Wars

 

I loved this opening scroll shirt when I saw it on Zulily a million years ago. Had to have it!

Belt: Buckle Down

Buckle Down makes the most fun belts! Fun fact, my brother was (is) a huge Star Wars fan. We even named our family dog Leah after Princess Leah.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

I would have preferred black breeches for this outfit (these are charcoal) but sadly my black TS went to breeches heaven over the weekend. I should replace them before I can't... I do have a few other pairs of black breeches but none were the weight I wanted for this day. 

Boots: Imperial Riding

Yes, I forgot to snap the top popper. Oops. Don't be distracted by such things, instead, enjoy how ridiculous these mirror boots are! I love these, and should definitely wear them more often!

That's it for today! What did you think? Did we pull off Star Wars Day? 

Thursday's Threads: May the 4th Edition

 

Happy Outfit Day! I might have missed the opportunity to wear my birthday outfit, but I did NOT miss out on Star Wars day! So even though Eros and I wore this on Tuesday, I'm sharing it for Thursday's Threads this week. Here's what we wore:

We went full R2D2. Pammon wore the C3PO pad though. I wish I snapped a photo of his too. Sorry about that! Maybe next year.

Let's start with Eros.

Bridle: Punk Ponies

I thought the holo bridle was kind of star wars-y, no?

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Etsy seller Houndstooth Horse
Half Pad: Ippico

I have matching polos for the pad and a bonnet, but somehow the polos were not where they were supposed to be. I'll have to hunt those down before next year. And it wasn't bonnet weather, so we skipped that part too.

Boots: Punk Ponies

Since the polos were MIA, holo boots seemed the next best option.

I promised you guys different boots and helmet, and I have to say, I did deliver! Are you ready?!

Helmet: Samshield

Why yes, I have been holding out on you guys... I got this during helmet awareness month, but haven't worn it until now. The rails and the emblem are actually holo like my bridle! I bought it to match the unicorn boots (which it totally does) but I didn't wear the boots today due to weather. (Those boots only come out on mud free sunny days.)

Top: Fifth Sun

This is ridiculously soft and comfy. Plus, that weird drawstring cowl neck can double as a mask if you forget yours!

Belt: Buckle Down

When I was in high school, I bought a belt from Delia's that had a seat belt for a buckle and beer caps all the way around it. The belt itself was rubber made from a tire. (Okay, not the most high school appropriate belt...) I loved that thing. Still do honestly, and I still have it! Since then, I've discovered Buckle Down Belts. They always use a seat belt for the buckle and have all kinds of strap designs. Super fun. This is the R2D2 one.

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

I figured some basic blue breeches worked here. 

Boots: De Niro Salentino

My OG blue De Niro's stretched too much and are too big now. They are in my for sale section as a result. I hadn't planned on getting another pair, but I stumbled upon these on closeout at Equiport. IN STOCK IN MY SIZE. (I ordered the next smaller calf size, perfect fit!) And well... when you find boots on sale in your super weird size? You kinda have to have them. I love the croco details on this pair. I paired them with Mane Jane spur straps that I already had which are a near perfect match!

Okay, that's it for this week. Any favorites?

Thursday's Threads

Outfit Day! Not only do I have a riding outfit to share, but it was a THEMED riding outfit! Because Saturday was Star Wars day, and you all know I love a good theme. I'll start there since I've been shorting you guys in the riding outfit department.

I think we can all agree that the droids really are the stars of that franchise... Them and Chewy (RIP).

Helmet: One K

I didn't get a photo of it on... but hey, at least I remembered a photo!




Top: Fifth Sun

Cartoon R2D2 is adorable. And also comfy.

Belt: Buckle Down

When I was in high school, I had a belt that had a seat belt buckle. It was rubber and had beer caps all around it (I realize this was pretty inappropriate... I didn't wear it to school). I still have that belt, and it surprisingly still fits (it's adjustable obviously)! Anyway, I've always liked the seat belt buckle design, and now there's a company that makes them in all kinds of patterns. This Stars Wars belt is one of them.

Breeches: Ariat

These are probably my favorite style of Ariat breeches. They're really expensive, so I only get them when I can find them on clearance, but honestly, they're probably worth full price. These are extra fun because they're the colors over at Eros' barn. And they match R2D2.

Pre (and post) ride Shoes: Sperry

Sperry did a Star Wars collaboration a couple years ago. And I think these are awesome. You can disagree, but you would be incorrect.

Boots: DeNiro

I figured I should just continue with all the blue, so I wore the DeNiro's. They are so freaking comfortable you guys!

Eros dressed up too! (His outfit from the Houndstooth Horse.) I had a bonnet and polos for him, but we wound up not using those. The polos didn't wrap correctly so the R2D2 was at the back of his leg which looked silly. And I just got a little lazy about the bonnet.

But he did wear the baby pad!

And lastly, I remembered to dress the phone up too... All in!

So that was fun! Pretty sure they've decided I'm the weirdest person ever at the barn. They're not wrong. Haha! Life's too short to be boring.

I have what I think is a fun work outfit today too!

Top: Sweet Iron Co

This polo shirt is all Amanda's fault. I bought it awhile back when she posted about the brand. I really like the shirts they make. The quality and fit are fantastic. I may have another on the way...

Belt: Buckle Down

Kind of funny that I wore both these belts for the same post... I'm impressed that the belt print and the shirt print are practically identical in size. That's something!

Jeans: True Religion

I think the gold stitching on these pants is SUPER fun! A little extra color to go with all this black and white.

Shoes: Sperry

Yep, I found houndstooth Sperry's! Such a good find.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

I kept the black, white, and gold them going as best I could here... With my other favorite bit bracelet!

Righty:

I doubled up the Hermes bracelets today since I have both a black and a white. I meant to have my fitbit on too, but alas, I left it on the charger. Hopefully I'll remember to grab it at lunch.

So that's it for today! Any favorites? What are you wearing?
