Outfit Of The Day (Sparkle, Sparkle + Sofa and Chair Reveal)

Ta da!  The Alister sofa and chair from Z Gallerie in....some color I can't remember (Husband says "blue mist"):

I am beyond in love with this set!  Husband and I pushed some furniture around yesterday and got it all arranged to our liking, and while this definitely isn't permanent (only 2 things in the pictures above will be in this sitting area when I'm done--the sofa and the chair!), it will do until we get ready to finish the rest.  

SO THIS IS TEMPORARY, GOT IT? No judging my awesome mixing of  brown + black woods + zebra + gold + silver together like a broke college student with a personality disorder.   While I know it will be heartbreaking when the final change happens (6.3 years from now at the rate we're going), I'll just change it to something even more awesome. Of course.   Maybe a cardboard cut out of Betty White holding a baby bunny and a Slurpee machine (with banana slurpees!) will be in there somewhere, too.   And Christmas lights!  Year round!  Patience.

Outfit time! I grabbed this layered sequin skirt from GAP a few weeks ago during one of their big sales and it's the perfect little springy-sequiny skirt.  For those of you that fear the sequins over the completely rational idea that they might turn you into some sort of human replication of a lopsided disco ball, fear not--this skirt has a mix of more matte sequins than shiny, meaning it has just the right amount of sparkle (no bad dance moves required).  It does run really big, as I've been finding most GAP skirts to run lately, and I am wearing this in 2 sizes smaller than my jean size there--just a head's up.
