Horses and Fashion, a susprisingly good mix!

Horses by Jalibu featuring Timberland boots

I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but two days a week I work among horses. 
Yeap! real thoroughbred horses. Well, I work really with their caretakers: hot-walkers, exercise riders, grooms, etc.

As you can imagine, the dress code here is not very strict. All (and I mean ALL) of my students wear jeans and a t-shirt, dusty boots and a cap. My boss, wears the same pieces of clothing, coming from a definitely fancier shop, and she trades the boots for preppy shiny loafers.


At the begging I encounter a little dilemma, should I conform to the jeans and tee uniform, or with some little adjustments, should I dress as if I were teaching at any university. 

So I did. Armed with some of my  casual accessories, I began to put together outfits that seamed out-of-place, while not out-of-my-mind. And they LOVED it!!!!!!


Male and female alike shower me with compliments, and most importantly, they are teaching me a valuable lesson. Fashion is a way to express my commitment and respect for my job. 
With my orange dresses and high heels I get to tell them everyday how proud I am of their effort, and how lucky I am to be there.

What to wear?

Here comes the moment of truth. I have a wedding to attend next month, and even though tons of ideas pop to my mind about what to wear, the truth is: I've got to keep it real.

At least I know excatly what I want:
I have to choose something adequate for my body type and size , but
I have to look really nice and sexy. I hate looking OLDER THAN I AM.

I also, and this is really important, need to stay on budget. So that amazing purple Oscar de la Renta has to stay only in my dreams.

What will come out out of this?
Who knows, but I promise I will let you know...


Write back with any ideas!
