Oh, I meant to post this much earlier on Tuesday, but a little something that looks like this:
{bad sunspot/magical ray-beam of awesomeness not included}
popped up today with its cute baby sister chair in tow, too.YAY!
Just to refresh everyone's memories on this, Husband and I custom ordered the Alister sofa and chair back in February from Z Gallerie and didn't expect it until mid-May, so its early arrival today was a complete surprise! Look for more (read: better) pictures of it later this week. Two things down in this remodel, 2,343,243,280,429,WTF,234,320 things to go.

It's been mucky with a chance of sucky here in Colorado lately, and with the return of bright colors this spring I was more than happy to take this yellow Walter blouse back out to play to brighten my mood a bit. You simply can't be sad and tired when you're wearing yellow, right?
I grabbed the belt I'm wearing below from Urban Outfitters earlier this month and I am in love. It probably comes as no big surprise, as most of you know what a bit of a belt slut I am (I'm surprised I even found a man to marry me but I used to keep it all craftily hidden...under cardigans and blazers and such) but oh sigh. It's super stretchy and fastens in the back with two snaps, leaving the front to fun and fuss-free.
I topped it all off with a cheap and slightly ridiculous pair of 70's inspired shades from F21 and meow cha-cha-chow:
Belt: Urban Outfitters (buy it here + take 10% off with code "THEMUSICISSUE")
Skirt: J Crew Dorrie Skirt (buy it here) (similar style here) (and a midi version here)
Shoes: ALDO Goodsite (similar style here) (and here) (and a comfortable wedge version here)
Bag: Chloe Paraty in Rosewood (similar style here) (and here by Rebecca Minkoff) (and here for under $100!)
(currently playing in the house)

Chloe, Colorful Colorado. 5'8" (only) when teetering in her highest 6 inch Miu Miu platform heels. Likes fashion, broccoli, ice cream, clarifying that she does not eat ice cream with her broccoli as to not cause worldwide panic, hoarding beauty products & pretty shoes, tickle fights with her husband (he would like to clarify that he does not like them back, OKAY?), anything covered in sprinkles, any alcoholic beverage made with Tang, live music, clicking the camera, sarcasm fonts, vases stuffed full of pretty flowers, and laughing hard until her belly hurts. Wants an adventurous life, lots of puppies, to never obtusely wander around with her fly down, and to be an iconic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress with a bright, festive print when she grows up. This is where she bravely documents it all. (
That's the perfect shade of yellow IMHO, sunny but not too bright, mellow but not washed-out. Love the bag/belt combo too!

ReplyDeleteI am in crazy love with this outfit!!
ReplyDeleteLove the 70s vibe of this outfit! And that couch is to die for.
ReplyDeleteI think for me just reading some magazines and doing my nails while a chihuahua is trying to cuddle with me is the best way to spend my time during a stormy afternoon.
The song of the day is killing.me. X-D

I love the sunglasses - so cute and fun! The way sunglasses should be =)
ReplyDeleteCouch: awesome. Can't wait to see more snaps!
ReplyDeleteLove the color you've got going on there, Chloe! You always have the best belts. Belt away, gal!
For gloomy days, my pick-me-up is usually loud jewelry picked up from the Keys or Caribbean. Tropics are never further away than the next margarita in FL. Afropunk reggaetone music also helps foster the sunny vacation mindset.
Mucky & sucky in Minneapolis, too. I would say to bring cheer, I drive a bright yellow car and think of buttercups.
ReplyDeleteLove yellow on you! I like to wear something bright pink, and that always makes me feel better when its crappy outside :)
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit (and those funky shades)! You look so great in yellow!
ReplyDeleteIt must be Dorrie skirt week, I wore mine yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the retro vibe you are giving in these pics, the sunglasses just takes it to the next level.
Bright colors always cheers me up with cupcakes coming in a seriously close second.
What a fierce belt! Yellow looks great on you :)
