Thursday's Threads

Outfit day!!! And a half day of work for this girl! Better for me than the horses, they're getting fall shots today. Sorry boys... It's a dreary cool day here in New England. Apparently autumn has arrived. So here's what I'm wearing:

I know that photo is horribly dark. I was ridiculously late for work this morning and no matter where I put the mirror, it still looked like this. And finally I had to settle! But you'll see better when we look closer.... Let's do that!

Top: Sun & Moon

I think this top is pretty nifty (yes, I said NIFTY)! It's a lycra material, so very soft and stretchy. What I love best is this built-in infinity scarf look. It actually is all one piece that crisscrosses to give the illusion of wearing a scarf. I also like that the cuffs match the scarf part.

Jeans: Seven Jeans

These are oldies. I'm certain they've been on the blog before. I just cleaned out my jeans closet and re-discovered these in the process.

Boots: Steven by Steve Madden

These have been on here before too. Now that Autumn has arrived, the boots are all back! Woohoo! The Steven line is my favorite from Steve Madden. The materials are higher quality than the other lines, and I have yet to find a pair that wasn't super comfortable. I love the giant zippers on these!

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Are you tired of this look yet? I'm not. My Keep Collective bracelet was the perfect match to today's outfit! The band is black like my top and the lapis stones match my jeans... So matchy matchy!

Righty:

First up is my delicate H bracelet with the black enamel. Next is a new addition to my collection that I picked up in the recent Kate Spade clearance sale: A Pretzel! I love ridiculous things like that. And lastly is my Rebecca Minkoff bangle that my sister-in-law gave to me. I'm loving this stack!

So that's my work outfit today. But I also have a riding outfit to share! This is what I rode in last night:

I'm full-on embracing this plaid trend. It's a total throwback to my freshman year of high school, but I'm loving it all the same. Maybe I'll listen to some Nirvana to really get back there...

Top: Target

It's a little tough to see in the photo, but the buttons only go part way down the shirt. I really like that, it puts a little twist on your basic plaid button down shirt. (Aside: Have you all seen the new trend in calling those shirts button ups? What is that? Do you button from the bottom up? Because I always button down. Hence the term button down. When did this change?!) My only complaint with this shirt is that the back is kind of small. It fits great if I'm not moving much, but it doesn't allow for much arm movement. Snapping this photo was a challenge! I think had I sized up though, it would have been too big.

Breeches: Grand Prix

I think these have been on here before. I love the dark gray color, but my favorite thing is the lavender stitching. Just a little something different.

Belt: No brand

I'm loving the blue on the belt. It's so different from any other I've seen! It's not really navy, it's kind of bright, but not too bright... It's just right! Ha. Poet and I didn't know it... Ok, sorry. I'll stop.

This was Jampy's outfit last night:

He just got this baby pad for being such a good boy lately. Ok, that's a lie. He just got this baby pad because I'm a shopaholic and there was a coupon code. It's from Sporthorselifestyle and I LOVE their logo! I think they should make a bracelet with it... Maybe I'll email and make that suggestion.

Ok, that's all the outfits I have for today. Do you have a favorite item from today? What's your opinion on this whole button up controversy? And most importantly, what are you wearing today?

Yay! Outfit day! No riding outfit this week, because we were rained out last night. And possibly again this evening, which would really be a bummer... Come on weather! But it wasn't raining at 6:45 this morning, so I DO have a running outfit today! We'll start with that, because it's new and I love the colors!

 Mint and Lavendar/Mauve ish! I'm not completely sure what color you call the shorts... but I love them! Perfect with my favorite sneaks!

Top: I can't figure out what the brand was on this one.

 This top has a built in bra, but not a padded one, so I added a sports bra just to keep things... smooth.
The top is a little snug, I maybe should have sized up? But I don't think it's terrible.

Shorts: Reebok

 These are a nifty little two-in one. The looser short part on top is kind of a mesh, and then the tighter spandex portion is nice and full coverage. They didn't ride up at all while I was running, and may be one of my new favorites!

Sneakers: Mizuno

You've seen them time and time again! But I had to show them with this outfit, because well... MATCHNG SO HARD!
On a side note, Vanessa, Pepper, and I had a great run this morning. Our only break was for Pepper to take care of some business. My watch only pretend charged last night, so I didn't have a time, but it felt decent. Woohoo! Yay for good runs!

Ok back to outfits. My new Golden Tote obsession has led me to spend some time on their trading page on Facebook. And by trading they also mean buying. (Seriously, I have a problem.) So again this week, I am featuring a top from Golden Tote.

Top: Le Sample

See why I HAD TO HAVE IT?! PONIES!!!!! I'm a sucker for a little mixed media (i.e. the lace at the top) but when an item has PONIES ON IT?! I can't not have it. CAN'T NOT HAVE IT. Sorry for all the yelling. But I actually got this shirt last Friday and have been dying to show it off. Ponies! And lace! Ah! Love.

Pants: Seven Jeans

Oldies but goodies. We won't dwell since you've seen them before. But I will mention that I like this sort of rustic horsey feel to the stitching. I thought it paired well with the pony shirt.

Belt: Hermes (maybe)

I found this one on Ebay. It wasn't ultra cheap, but was cheap enough to think it's probably not authentic. But it's a REALLY nice one if that's the case. The belt itself is a chocolate color, and is alligator. Gorgeous! Possibly a bit manly... but gorgeous none-the-less.

Shoes: unknown brand

I think I found these on Zulilly? Or maybe I got them at H&M? I'm not sure. I've had them a few seasons now, and they've held up pretty well. VERY comfy and I thought they accented the lace at the top of the shirt today. Possibly a bad choice for the weather though! Oops.

Arm party!
Left:

In keeping with my pony theme, I wore all horsey bracelets today! The first is from Zulilly. You've seen it before, it's definitely in my top 10 favorites! Next is my watch, and then a horse shoe bracelet from House of Harlow.

Right:

First up on righty is my photo charm bracelet that you've seen a few times. Those are my ponies on there! The large bangle is one I got on ebay from a nice lady in North Carolina. I'm not sure of a brand, but I love the ponies on it in their blankets. Definitely has an Hermes air about it! (It's also definitely not Hermes!)

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