I'm not the only one that sees this, right? Please? Right? Please????
Ahem. So the Nuggs totally screwed up and got their asses handed to them (I may or may not have originally typed "hands assed to them" which took me a few edits to catch and may or may not be the result of copious amounts of drinking tonight. You've been warned.) by the LA Lakers tonight. It was pretty embarrassing. Uff da.
The night wasn't a complete waste in spite of the Nuggets sucking. Husband and I sat at the local brewery and had some drinks. We also ate a bunch of beer-battered mozzarella cheese sticks (dipped in marinara sauce, yum!) and I discovered Shrek looks eerily like this dude named Earvin Magic Johnson. Someone really needs to tell this Earvin fellow that he needs to get his own look and stop stealing from others. It's confusing to a drunky Chloe, and I couldn't figure out why Shrek was a giving me highlights from the game.
(HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NUGGETS GETTING THEIR ASSES SLAPPED!)
Ohhhh well oh well oh well. We arrived home in time to catch the 10'o clock news, where the newscasters politely gave the Nuggets their accolades on a job well done for making it as far as they did. "See?" I said, turning towards my Over Achieving Winner of a Husband and gesturing grandiosely to punctuate my point. "SEE??? You don't always have to win. People will still love you. Adele Arakawa and her super duper bad 1980's mullet hair will still love you. Winning isn't everything."
Husband may or may not have let out a small, diminutive whimper. He then slooowly rolled over and away from me and may or may not have started to cry. Or laugh hysterically. Or um, cry. Wait. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was crying. You know, sometimes it's hard to tell with men exactly what they're doing. I do know this, however- it's going to be a looong weekend.
Here's an Outfit of The Day before we realized how the tragedy was going to unfold:

Here's an Outfit of The Day before we realized how the tragedy was going to unfold:
Top: Nanette Lepore Brazen Bustier
Pants: Abercrombie and Fitch
Shoes: Wedgies from Candies
Bag: Botkier Cleo Satchel
Necklace: Target (Merona)
While I like the diagonal line my purse is traveling in from picture to picture, I'm pretty sure it's my horrible posture that caused the Nuggets to lose tonight. My poor posture simply made them too sad to actually want to win. It's understandable. I think my poor posture is also what makes Kim Jong-il crazy. And I have a little hunch (HA HA HA GET IT) that my poor posture is also what is maybe causing my back hurt all the fucking time. Maybe? Although looking at these pics automatically makes me want to straighten up (much like seeing or hearing the word "kegels" makes you want to...oh nevermind) so point taken, I need to work on my posture. STRAIGHTEN UP CHLOE. Us little people need all the height we can get.
I added my J. Crew skinny Serengeti belt to the outfit as an afterthought, and of course after I took the pics. You can see more (better?) details of the corset 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. (
Sorry...I dont think Magic looks like Shrek. Just my opinion though.
ReplyDeleteHahah, I showed the Shrek photos to my Hubby and some friends and they were laughing histerically! He's a dead ringer for him!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, you look great in that top and I love your bag! So cute!
I'm sorry to hear your Hubbs was crying...er...laughing? :)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmBOTKIER.
ReplyDeleteI need to get me a Sugar-Daddy. Seriously, that bag is *to die for* and totally priced out of the "poor grad student" range. Gah! I'll settle on the necklace as a consolation prize. ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry your Nuggs lost. :( My Red Sox have been sucking something fierce (or at least it seems like it every time I watch a game). Maybe that's because of my poor posture.
I laugh at your Adele Arakawa joke. My husband and I call it the "mullet mop." It's time for a change, Adele...
ReplyDeleteSo sad for the Nuggets, but your outfit was a winner!
~carpeviam
Do you think we could start a letter campaign to give Adele a makeover? Despite the fact I watch her 5 nights a week, I can't help but scream in agony every other night at the sight of her hair and makeup. The eyeshadow! The Skid Row Mullet! The way-too-severe lip stick! Oh Adele, please join your fellow (wo)man in the 00's...before they're over.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have to admit that I was skeptical of the pants but they look awesome! And I might steal that bag off your arm if I ever saw it in person. This is a great summer outfit!!
Oh, boo hoo, your team made conference finals and lost. SEATTLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A TEAM!!!! It sucked so bad they took it away!!! and my Toronto team sucks balls too. So, um... I sympathize, I really do :-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, that was a pretty bad loss. BAD! But at least they lost to the Lakers, not to Seattle Supersonics. THAT would be embarrassing.
That bag is delicious and I'm loving that necklace!
ReplyDeletethe bustier looks great on you! and i couldn't tell that A&F is kid's~ and candies's wedge kicks madden girl's ass :-)
ReplyDeleteUgh. I totally don't realize I'm slouching until I see myself in pictures. Even caught a few in the wedding photos that irked me. Oh well. Better backbones next time.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit!
~carpeviam
So, I just realized I already submitted a comment for this particular post. What can I say, it's 12:30 at night! And, clearly, I wanted to say SOMEthing about slouching! What the fuck.
ReplyDelete~carpeviam
I totally see the resemblance, you know, aside from the whole green skin thing. And crazy satellite ears too. You know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThe bustier is WOW. Sweetheart neckline? Yes, please!
That bag is super-gorgeous. I love nude handbags! :)
ReplyDeletex
Aww, I love Adele Arakawa. She has gravitas. And as for your outfit, love the necklace. I'm so happy it's white pants season.
ReplyDeleteApologies for going off-topic, but what is the name of the remote you use to take photos from across the room? I know you did a post about it but I can't find it. TIA!
oh my gosh! you look fantabulous! I love everything about your outfit! Especially your TDF handbag. Guh.
ReplyDelete;)
LOVE your outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so effortless chic, it's borderline painful :p
Oh, is that a moth on your NL top???? Quickly, ship it to me and I can get rid of it for you :)
Pretty please post more of your outfit ideas, you could also join Polyvore and save the day! :)
Also, NO MATTER HOW MUCH US GIRLS SHARE, WE NEVER SHARE PUBLICLY WHEN OUR MEN CRY. Why? Cause your husband probably just had something in his eye and here you are, accusing him of being a softy :p
The photos of you are fab- I just adore white jeans!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic Sunday!
Don't eeeeven get me started on Adele's outdated hair. OMG.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Nuggs lost, did your husband also go on for an hour about how he hates Kobe and the Broncos are going to suck, and what is the point of living, etc.? Mine did.
xo
Love your necklace. Unfortunately all the sports stuff went over my head...I sort of refuse to be interested in sports. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a "Magical" interpretation.
ReplyDeleteI met Adele once at a function I coordinated (back when I was an event planner). She was sorta bitchy to everyone. It might have been b/c noone could look her in the eye b/c we were all hypnotized by the femullet (female mullet).
ReplyDeleteI was SO embarassed by the Nuggs. We even tried to heckle Kobe w/ verbal references to "that CO incident of the sexual persuasion".
I guess he didn't hear us.
Your outfit is a definite winner though!! Might have to get me the necklace!
Oh and I totally see the Magic/Shrek resemblance.
ReplyDeleteYou.Are.Awesome.
