I am absolutely in love with the Equestrian Trend, always have been! (Probably because, well I
am an Equestrian!) So to say that I'm over the moon excited to see it at the top of mainstream fashion trends is well...an understatement!! I have been wanting to make my daughter some equestrian "jodhpur" inspired leggings, but have had such a hard time finding the perfect fabric. So one day while carousing the Spoonflower site I found some really great fabric! I chose the white, organic cotton, knit in a "Dee-Ring" Snaffle Bit print. And sewed them up. I did this while she was at school and hoped it worked out! I am pleased to say that I am in love and they turned out just as I had hoped! Easy too!! When thinking about how to style these darling britches (or should I say breeches?!) I got swept away in a Camelot sort of vision. I have always loved Jacqueline Kennedy's style and I know she was a true equestrian, so I went with a styling that I think screams Jackie! I love the navy, red, denim colors with the snaffle bit print. And plaids are another trend of noteworthy mention this season so I had to throw some plaid and print mixing in too! I thought a silk scarf worn retro over the head and a big pair of sunglasses was the stuff! Then for the boots...my first thought was paddock boots, then I thought we needed a little cowgirl flare. So we styled with red cowgirl boots. Hope you like it! From "Patch-A-Heaven" here is our take on the following trends: Equestrian, leggings, plaid, navy and print mixing done "Littles" style!

| This is a "Mom, not cool!" face. |

| Inspiration for this look from the pages of Vanity Fair. The Kennedy Special Edition. |

Can you say attitude?!
Here we have styled the bit leggings with a more traditional pair of English Paddock Boots.

| And then look what I found! A total throw back!! This is me and my pretty mare Shorty. RIP my good friend! |
