Outfit Of The Day (A Sneezy Sleuth) (No Seriously. I Can't Stop Sneezing.)



So somebody has totally been sneaking into our SUPER-IMPOSSIBLE-TO-GET-THROUGH-HEAVY-DUTY-BLOCKED OFF main sitting room area AND....piddling on the carpets. Which also happens to be where I take my pictures. A-hem.

At first I thought it was a robber, you know, with a bit of a strange fetish- but what kind of robber does that? It's like when the guy from the cleaning crew at work accidentally locks himself out of the room he needs to clean. This is a fairly regular ritual- we go through cleaning crews at work monthly, and it's always the new guy, five days in, standing at the front desk asking me to let him back into the room 'cuz he accidentally locked himself out.

And I always squint to myself as I think- Hm. I haven't met this dude before. Is he real? Is he legit? How do I know he is real and legit? OH. But wait. Wait wait wait wait wait. Chloe! He has a vacuum strapped to his back. Right there. RIGHT THERE. A VACUUM. ON HIS BACK. AND HE'S LOOKING AT ME LIKE HE'S LOST HIS WILL TO LIVE. Yup, okay. He's totally a cleaning person. I wasn't sure with just the vacuum jetpack on his back, but the look of total disenchantment has sealed the deal. No robber is that melancholy. I mean, unless he enjoys breaking into buildings just to clean and look sad. And if that's the case, well frankly- he can have at it.

But readers, robbers don't want to break into buildings to clean and look sad, and robbers also don't want to break into my house to piddle on the carpet. But oh gee, it couldn't be the dogs, because Husband and I had built an awesome 48-ft. wall to keep them out!

So then- who was doing it?

OH, I THINK WE KNOW THE CULPRIT HERE, YOU GUYS, THE TRUTH. Because she totally gave herself away while I was snapping pics last week by happily (and easily) leaping over our makeshift barricade in one delicate swoop to come say OH HI MOM:


Do you see what I see?


Bingo. That's me making my "bingo" face, by the way.


Totally busted, buster. And back to the drawing board, and/or forcing Petunia to wear diapers 24/7.



And on a more serious note- this coat is awesome, yay.

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. (oh you really want more, do you?)
