As I mentioned in my last post, I am finally getting a chance to reacquaint myself with my home. But unfortunately, while the big project is nearly finished (the new floors are almost all in!), there is still quite a long, hefty list of little things that need to be done too.
So oh, it is far from being over.
While it has been extremely fun (and entertaining) to see our house being transformed, we still have shit everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It is everywhere it is not supposed to be, which means it's also a little chaotic--kitchen appliances are in one of the guest bedrooms, office stuff is in the kitchen, the pool table is piled in all of our clothes, and puppies are constantly wiggling around and getting their tails into the wet trim paint. Aye chihuahua.
To make things even more fun, we have guests arriving tomorrow to stay with us! I just hope they know that they will be greeted with a big, dirty hug from me, but only so I can sneakily pass off a broom to them as I'm doing it. Maybe we'll even have a little party and play some games this weekend, including hide-and-go-seek--but only so we can figure out where the heckity-heck everything is. First person to find my sanity (and my favorite bra, and my watch, and most of my jewelry, and the three mini Twix bars I picked up to eat this afternoon, but didn't, and now I don't know where they are but the last time this happened they were in the plants) wins! The win this nice gift from Jonathan Adler. GET TO WORK.
On to the outfit. Thankfully, I have acquired a lil' bit of new jewelry during this remodel (since my usual stash is MIA) and today I am wearing the beautiful Daphiney Earrings sent from the very lovely people over at Kendra Scott. I often forget about earrings, as I am much more of a bracelet/ring/necklace fiend, but I think these earrings are a perfectly-pretty change of pace.
It is also hard to see from these pictures, but my earrings, bag, and nails all match! It's the simple things that make me happy, shhhh:
Skirt: ASOS Double Layer skirt in "arabian spice" (buy it here, on sale!) (similar style here) (& here at Topshop) (& a pretty pleated version here + take 20% off with code "HAPPYLFW")
Belt: J Crew (buy it here) (similar style at ASOS for $11!)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Atalanta Sandals (similar style here by Nine West) (and here at Topshop)
Ring: Forever 21 (buy it here - $5!)
Nail Polish: Essie Mamba (buy it here)
Earrings: Kendra Scott-Daphiney Earrings in Amythest (buy them here)

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. (
We are pretty much color combination twins today...so funny! You look great as always!
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings! And the outfit too, you look great.
ReplyDeleteHope you find your sanity soon, maybe check under the sink?
It does seem like your renos have been taking over, but it's all so worth it. Those earrings are great. Like you, I often forget to wear them but they really do make an outfit. And I love your Chloe bag... I want one in cream!

Chloe, how did your hair get so long!!! You look fantastic, those earrings are gorgeous! Can't wait to see the after reno pics too.
ReplyDeleteI love the earrings - I just recently ventured into the Kendra Scott world and I'm diggin' it. I saw some really pretty ones at Nordstrom last weekend....a variation on the Danielle. Ah, they're called "Darby." http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kendra-scott-darby-oval-stone-statement-earrings/3213248

ReplyDeletelove the earrings and the colors. You're always so chic! I'm also a necklace/bracelets/ring person. ♥ Tati
ReplyDeleteLOVING how you incorporated all the beautiful fall colors (and nails, earrings, and bags match too)! Those earrings are beautiful! I used to get a pair of earrings and plan a whole outfit around them. Those are definitely outfit planning worthy!!
