Equestrian style

3 Jan

I love boots. Unfortunately, when you live in Florida there aren’t as many opportunities to wear them as there would be in colder climates. So, when the temperatures dropped recently, I had to take advantage…

Pin It

When it comes to a knee high boot like these, slim fit pants are a must. In that case, balance/proportion is always a consideration. Pairing the more snug fitting bottoms with blousy chiffon top keeps the look modest and daytime appropriate.

I found these riding pants at GAP recently for quite a steal: I love the equestrian look. The suede panels take me back to the days when I actually did take riding lessons…until my horse threw me during one of them. I know they say to get back up on the horse, but I was a little bit scared after that and had to take a break. However, the fear has subsided over time, so that is good! Justin and I recently bought a deal for a local stable for some riding time; I’m looking forward to scheduling it!

Chiffon blouse: GAP, $35

Lace camisole: Mossimo, purchased at Target, $7.99

Riding pants: GAP, purchased on sale $22.75

Boots: Naharra boot by Sam Edelman, purchased at Nordstrom, on sale at Endless for $149.90

Envelope clutch: Pyramid Metal Tip Clutch, ASOS, $27.27

Gold bracelets: similar here and here

Are you a fan of boots? What is your favorite way to wear them?

    Love this look! I like wearing boots with tights and skirts during these winter months in DC. It’s a great way to stay warm AND chic. :)

    Hehe, you do not look like you’re wearing “shrek boots”! I’ll try the billowy top trick!
