Happy Friday, you guys! Have anything fun planned for the weekend? We are planning on lots of wandering around, eating out, a quick road trip to the Palmer Lake area, and even a little Johnny Cash--good stuff.
Springtime in Colorado means lots of wacky weather. Well, anytime in Colorado means wacky weather--warm in the mornings but colder in the evenings, after the spring thunderstorms rumble through and leave the air smelling fresh, earthy, and cool. Layers are your best, best friend.
So I initially grabbed this red coat to wear over this outfit, since I really liked how it looked paired with all he neons and neutral tones:
But opted for this lightweight miu-miu-inspired (right?) swing lace coat from Topshop instead. Spring is in the air, spring is in the air:

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. (
