I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was fine, thank you.
(We are stuck in a 1500 square-foot house with six people and nine dogs, one which has an increasingly annoying squeaky toy, in South Dakota due to a snowstorm. Someone, please, anyone. Save me.)
(Also. Pamida. Anyone ever heard of one of those? That's Husband's favorite new store. He totally wants everyone to know that.)
(And! And! If anyone has been reading my Facebook feed, you know that my mom has totally invented this fun new game of throwing her car keys at my dad's head. It's brilliant, really- it is! Who needs a Wii or a board game when you can launch a heavy set of keys at a moving target with a bad smoker's cough?)
(SAVE. ME.)
(Husband is totally giving me the STARE OF DEATH. I didn't know he could hold the stare for more than an hour at a time but readers, he can. I'm learning all sorts of new, fun things on this trip!)
(Wait. Maybe it's not the stare of death. Panic? Despair? Itching to play round #97 of Apples to Apples?)
(Oh no, no, no. Wait. Neverrr mind- that's theSTAREofDEATH!)
Ummm. Here's my favorite look #7, yippee! It's a bit of a hodge-podge of things. I often do that, as you've likely noticed- I switch out shoes and accessories just to get an idea of how it looks. The double-serge (wool) bronzed ochre skirt from J Crew from Fall 2008 has to be one of my favorite J Crew purchases ever- it's a bit of an odd color, but freakishly easy (and fun!) to match with various things. I really like color (which is probably why I've had a hard time with J Crew's totally-anemic-and-nose-wrinklingly-pale Fall 2009 line), so it makes me happy to still haul this skirt out and match it with corally pinks and berry-berry purples, mmhmm:

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. (
