Update! I am still totally in love with gold! I thought that maybe I was leaving my go-to-gold-and-gray color palette for my new lover chrome-and-camel, and, don't get me wrong, C & C is totally my boyfriend on the side but Gold remains my long term love.

Oh! I'll especially be fine if it looks like this. See, I really just will never get over gold. And it is with every fiber of my being that I say: Yes, I absolutely would 100% live here:
