Equestrian

4/29/2014

"Gareth, bring me my horse." "What do you mean it's not where you tethered it?" o_O "Wha..WTF is this? A parking ticket?" "Outrageous, bro. Fuggin' outrageous. How am I supposed to get home?" >_< It's so hard to find good help these days, you know? Hm? What? Oh! Hello! :DDD How long have you been standing there? You know what, it doesn't matter. Haha. Check out my rad military coat! ^_^

It's super sweet, you guys and I got it through my swap group! Holla! :DDD Knitted Dove is one of my favorite designers! I have another darker green Knitted Dove coat that I also got through my swap group and that I've worn a bunch on my blog, already. Click here to see how I last styled that coat.

I think this coat looks much more impressive closed than open, so even though I wore it open for most of the day, I wanted to show you how it looks completely zipped. I love the unfinished, frayed trim and the zipper gap. It's haphazardly awesome. ^_^ I think it's the perfect subdued shade of olive, too.

I felt like the light brown high waisted jeans looked almost like riding breeches when combined with the tall brown boots. So, I guess this is an equestrian inspired outfit. ^_^ Hehe. The floral top I'm wearing is a romper, actually. Yeah, I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise to my regular readers. Hehe. As for the rest of you, I apologize for hoodwinking you, but that's just how I roll, sometimes. :D So, yeah the romper is just a little bit too short for me, so I decided I'd wear it like a top with skirts, shorts and pants.

I got the romper from my swap group, too. Hooray for recycled clothing! ^_^ I love the Spring colors and the wooden buttons. It was just too good to pass up and I'm determined to wear it, even though I probably won't ever feel comfortable wearing it by itself. I dunno, maybe one day I'll change my mind.

That's it! :P I hope you like this outfit! Thanks for reading and, as always, thank you for your kindness!

Floral Byline

This time I went for simplicity and comfort. I did some basic pattern mixing and very light layering with the olive zipper jacket. I liked the black version of the jacket so much, that I got the olive, too. ^_^ I'm diggin' the bright yellow version, also. They're pricey, so I guess two jackets is enough for now. Heh.

I've worn this pleated floral vintage skirt quite a few times. It's one of my favorite purchases from last year. *^_^* Click here to see how I styled it over Winter and click here to see a comparatively tougher look I created with it last Summer. The colors of the skirt are so versatile. I know it will get lots of wear!

This gold turtle necklace is so cute! I've had it for awhile now, but I seem to be rather picky about how I wear it. It might be due to the fact that the chain is extra long and not really adjustable. I figured the sea of lines above my floral skirt could use something extra and little Hodor fit the bill. :D Oh, yeah. I named my turtle, Hodor. Haha. His name used to be Michio Kaku. It was a bit unwieldy. Hehe.

The striped batwing slub tee is another great purchase from last year. I took it with me on my trip to Austin and wore it so many times. This is my first time showing it off on my blog, though. ^_^ It's super soft and comfortable. I like the extra wide neckline, because it gives the tee a palpable casual vibe. Sometimes, I'll pull one of the sleeves down over my shoulder to further accentuate that relaxed feeling.

These slotted black shoes are amaaaazing. I love them so much! I forgot to take a photo of the back, but if you check out the product link you'll see that there are zippers at each heel. Just like with the brown sandal flats I wore in this previous post, I was looking for something basic that looked like a sandal, but was sleek enough to go with all of my outfits and not just my casual ones. These are great!

Like the gold turtle necklace, I find that I'm picky with how I wear these bronze sunglasses. I think dark colors and earthy tones best compliment them and, due to their design, I tend to regard them as Spring/Summer sunglasses. So, that's why I haven't worn them since my trip to Austin last year and that's also the reason why you're seeing them for the first time on my blog, today. Hehe. :D

I think they're great, though! The color is simple enough to be understated, but the overall retro design keeps them interesting. I look forward to styling these sunnies with my upcoming Summer outfits. ^_^

This outfit is super simple and maybe even a little boring, but you know I have to keep it real and throw some lame ones in there every now and again. Haha. Not all of my outfits are intense/complicated.
I guess I'm trying to show (myself) that I can do regular styles or whatever. It's a challenge. Hehe.
