Just a quick update for today! I am working on a longer post for either tomorrow or Thursday, so stay tuned...if you dare. ;) ❤
I am still playing catch-up from over the past few months, so here is an outfit I snapped back on a cloudy day in September before we moved all of our furniture back. This outfit was a bit of a change for me, as most of you will likely notice, in that I was dressed in black almost from head-to-toe.
It was a fun change! A monotone outfit doesn't need to be a boring outfit, and I found it a good challenge to mix patent + faux fur + cotton + taffeta with an assortment of gold drippings to add some interest:
Vest: Jennifer Lopez for Kohls (buy it here) (similar here for $42) (similar here at F21) (similar at UO + take 10% off with code "TOPARTY")
Top: Bailey 44 Faux-Shrug Top, NLA (similar here at Ann Taylor) (similar here at Anthropologie)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Mater Claude (buy them here) (similar here for $49.95) (similar here at Target)
Tassel Necklace: Topshop, NLA (similar here)
Long Necklace: Ann Taylor, NLA (similar here) (similar here) (gorgeous option here) (a fun option for $15.99)
Five stone necklace: J Crew, NLA (similar here) (similar at ASOS for $25)
Bag: Chanel Crackled Patent Camel Classic Flap (similar here) (and here by DKNY) (and here for under $100)
And here we are, back to a little bit of Colorado-style. Choker necklaces are a new-ish trend that has been popping up everywhere recently, and while these sleek and elegant necklaces look great under things like simple silk blouses I really like layering them with longer necklaces, too.
In fact, a male friend remarked last week (upon seeing me) that I wear a lot of jewelry. I asked if it was too much and his only answer was, "It's a lot...but for you? Nah."
Oh GOOD. Whew! 'Cuz I would still wear all this jewelry (no matter how he answered) anyway, a haaaa:
Hat: GAP (buy it here) (similar here for $7.99)
Blouse: Banana Republic, NLA (similar here) (similar here)
Jeans: J Brand Kiki Flares in Lotus (buy them here, on sale) (similar here at Piperlime + take 20% off thru 11/16 with code "TREAT") (similar here, too!)
Fur Scarf: H&M (similar here) (similar here at ASOS)
Long Necklace: J Crew Pluma Necklace (buy a Factory version here)
Collar Necklace: Ann Taylor, NLA (similar by Dannijo) (under $30 at ASOS)
Watch: Michael Kors Rosegold Large Runway Watch (buy it here) (similar here for $135)
Jeweled Bracelet: J Crew, NLA (similar here at LOFT) (love this at Zappos, too)
Cuff Bracelet: GAP, NLA (similar here)
Shoes: Elizabeth and James Mae (buy them here + take 20% off thru 11/16 with code "TREAT") (similar here for $70)
Bag: Lanvin Happy Mini Pop in Metallic Python (buy it here) (similar here) (similar here for under $50)
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. (
I love all your jewelry and accessorizing, Chloe! The first look is great with all the textures and the second seems very 70s-inspired to me.
ReplyDeletexo, alison*elle
love both of these outfits!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, the second look is so darn cute! I love the 70's inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou always look so perfect Chloe! Both of your outfits are divine! I especially love the second 70's inspired look! Gorgeous as always :)

I love the hat, so 70s chic!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all of the hats lately, Chloe. You've inspired me to branch out. I'll definitely be picking up the asymmetrical fedora from Gap.
ReplyDeletei love your outfits chloe. keep them coming
ReplyDeleteYou look so good in black! Loving that first outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love both looks! The second one looks especially cool. I love that you can wear flares (which I don't usually like) and fur/faux fur? (which I also don't usually like) and look great!
ReplyDeleteI also like how much jewellery you wear. I wish I could always wear matchy and spot-on accessories like you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the fur & floppy hat!!! you always look AMAZING doll!

Love, love, LOVE those jeans!
ReplyDeleteIt's become a fun game to see how you hide your camera remote. You rock the outfits as well as your self-portraits!

Girl. Rachel Zoe would be proud of that last outfit! Bananas!
ReplyDeleteSmokin'...ya looks good :)
ReplyDeleteLiving as I do in the land of the all-black fashion uniform, I tend to kick a little at the concept of it, but I love how you've done that one. The combination of the fur and a little sheen on the skirt and the golf is just great!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! <3
ReplyDeleteallison*elle - I was definitely shooting for a bit of a 70's vibe in my second outfit, so yay! <3
fifi - thank you!
BeautyGirl24 - thank you!
Candy Apple Fashion - aw, thank you! I have to confess, though, that I get runs in my tights just like everyone else. But I'll take a 'perfect' compliment anytime I can get it!
Miss Lindsay - I love LC's line at Kohl's, but definitely check out Jennifer Lopez. She has a (super) surprising amount of wearable pieces. There are definitely some "I've been attacked by a disco ball 'cuz I'm going clubbing in Miami" pieces, but the sweaters and outerwear in her collection all pretty much rock!
yuni.k - thank you! <3
TaraMixandMatch - thanks! I just fiddle around with all of it until I think it looks fun. Easy peasy.
Andi - Hi Andi, glad to see you popping in! And thanks.
NatashaXOXO - Thanks!
Lindsay A Turner - Thanks Lindsay!
Mary Ann - Thanks, darling!
Abby - ooh, glad to hear it! I really do love a good hat--they're fun to wear, plus (if they sit low enough on my forehead) they make me feel like I'm in incognito, too. Even, er, if I don't look like I'm hiding, hehehe.
Anneke Hildebrand - done & done! More OOTD posts will be coming up soon. <3
The Little Dust Princess - Thank you! It's kind of strange how little I actually wear black, I think I'm going to be working it back into my wardrobe a bit more.
Contrary Kiwi - thank you! I wasn't a huge fan of faux fur until this year, not sure why, but I can't get enough of it at the moment. And it keeps me warm, too! <3
Jenn The Stylish Housewife - xoxo!
Just Patience - thank you!
Alexi - Hahaha, THANK you! I'm always happy to know when something I wear is inspiring, it's the best compliment!
Lesli - me too! I need to wear them more, uff.
House Of Hemingway - LOL. I should do a giveaway contest one of these days - first person who guesses where my remote is hidden wins! (Sometimes I'm pretty obvious with it though, especially if the battery is low and I'm too lazy to replace the batteries!).
Rosa Loves DC - Thanks Rosa! <3
gigiofca - yay! Hi Gigi! Thanks for popping in, and thank you.
Annabelle - *curtsies* *curtsies *curtsies*
Amazing, the 2nd look is really so awful cute!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I am crazy about it! I was raised in Colorado and just left Colorado a year and a half ago with my boyfriend to move to Texas but we hope to get back to Colorado soon. I'm a new follower of your blog and I can't wait to poke around a bit more.
