Outfit Of The Day (Slightly Skewed)

Hooray, it's Friday! Not too much is new here. Husband and I have been working feverishly to gear up for a vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and I seriously can't wait.  One thing that we rarely do is go on a trip together that doesn't involve friends or family members and/or staying with friends or family members...and while I always have a blast on those trips, it will be great to get away with just the two of us.  Aside from our annual 3-day trips to Steamboat Springs every October, we haven't had a relaxing vacation to ourselves in five years!  Yikes!

Five years!

(Which is exactly why I have resorted to giving my handbags and shoes nicknames like "Hawaii", "Bali," "Australia", "San Diego", "Dollyworld", and "Maine-Just-Because-I'm-Really-Curious")

So it's finally happening this year, a fun vacation with just the D-hubs and me. And while I will certainly miss the sexy ambiance of my slightly deaf dad yell-talking at my slightly deaf mom at 6 in the morning, or the sound of 5 dogs being herded down the echo-y hallway of wood floors in my twin sister's house in South Dakota (again at 6 in the morning)...um.

Mama Chloe needs some alone time with Husband.  And a beach and a strawberry daiquiri.  And a good book. And a point and shoot camera (still).  And some sunblock.  And a fabulously big sunhat.  And a cute little fedora.  And some cheap beach sandals. And more suitcases.  And a porcupine quill necklace from Lulu Frost. And someone to secretly, shamefully see Water For Elephants with me and then loudly protest it after because god, chick flicks are just awful and gross even if they are actually good and amazing, aren't they?  WHO GOES TO THOSE ha ha ha ha awkward laugh NOT ME except you know  maybe sometimes, shhhhush.

On to the outfit! I like my outfit today. I feel like I'm about to go on some sort of fancy safari through the wild jungle of Colorado.  I almost didn't keep the Pizzoccheri jacket when I bought it, as I was wearing my ever-so-fancy pair of sale-goggles at the time; something about the fit was a little off and crop-lengthed jackets can be difficult to wear, especially for a long-torsoed person like me.  But I forgot to return it and I'm rather glad I did, as I'm suddenly reaching for it a lot more. Its weight is perfect for cool spring days and the fabric is ridiculously soft, too!  Don't you love it when that happens?

Woomp here it is, the leaning tower of Chlo-isa. Oh tripod:
