Wear: Horseback Riding

Patrick is on spring break (woo-hoo!), so we finally went on a trail ride - something I've been wanting to do since I came to Charleston. Since I still had to go into work, I'm wearing a transition outfit; something acceptable outside the paddock. Oh, and I should mention how after two days I'm still so sore!!!

So while I was at work, biding time until the ride, I braided my hair! (Please excuse the awful pics - fluorescent lights are unforgiving of fair skin and strawberry-blond hair) After watching The Beauty Department's guide to the French Braid, I attempted to braid my own hair.

A bit sloppy, but hey, it's my first time! And it'll be under a helmet.

And at last, the outfit.
 - Leggings (it is 80-something degrees, I'm not wearing jeans!)
 - Polo-style tunic
 - Cute belt at waist
 - Riding boots
 - And of course a helmet!

Now that you've seen the belt, those crazy bright lips above make a little more sense, huh?
