I am a dressage rider, but my alter ego, the one that foots the bill, is an elementary school teacher. We're celebrating Kindness Week at school which means that each day we dressed up as something to promote kindness. We wore neon or bright colors to "Shine for Kindness," super hero shirts to "Power up for Kindness," and western clothing to "Giddy-Up for Kindness."

In my world, "giddy-up" means breeches and tall boots. I dressed English instead. When given the opportunity to wear riding clothes to work instead of needing to do a Superman quick change in the tack room, you can bet I was all over it!
My girls were ready to leave a "trail" of kindness in their wake!
As a side note, I wore my new Ovation breeches for the entire day, and I mean the entire day! As in 5:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. - a full twelve hours. They were as comfortable as any pair of yoga or sweatpants. I've worn my breeches to work a couple of other times, and no one seemed to think much of it. I am thinking this might become a semi-regular attire choice.
TGIF my friends. Spend it wisely!
