Color Me Styled - Riding on the Edge



I remember wanting to learn how to ride horses when I was younger but really, as I reflect on it now, it was more about the fashion.

But who can blame me?  Those leggings, the hats (okay, helmets), and the riding jackets are too much!  Oh, and how can we forget the boots.

And, since it brings visions of wealth and countryside to mind it is a pretty classy style choice.  I wore my equestrian best when I went out for a lunch date with Sara of Project Soiree who gets the photographer credits.



To add some edge to the ensemble I stacked on the jewelry.  The necklace is c/o Milk and Honey Boutique, I stocked up on stacks and midi rings from Urban Outfitters and Francesca's, and that is my standby Marc by Marc Jacobs watch.  The large gold bracelet (left) is from Langford Market Diversey and the one stacked with my watch has been a part of my life for so long that I honestly cannot remember where I got it!



Blazer is ages old and from Banana Republic but I've found a lot of really good ones at Nordstrom too.  The top is a very summery one that I found on sale months ago but I'm wearing winter-weight leggings to keep warm because it is darn cold outside.  The bag is a Longchamp Le Pliage  Medium Tote and my boots are, also very old, from Nine West.

The best part about this outfit is how ridiculously comfortable it is!  What do you think?  Would you wear this for a lunch date?  Or maybe to the office?  Are you a fan of stacked jewelry or are you over it?  Talk to me in the comments below, or comment on Facebook, or tweet to me!
