That's how I feel about it.</div>

I think because it's always been very hard for me. Self care, that is. Before I met my husband, I was eating probably once a day. With extra storage in the oven for my shoes and nothing but takeout in the fridge. Eating was a distraction from my work and something I used to forget to do.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also rarely took downtime. Or vacations. I was extremely strict with myself in establishing a career and believed the longer I worked in a day, the further I'd get. I spent lavishly at bars and restaurants, worked tirelessly on my hair and makeup but those things certainly weren't self care.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now, nearly 10 years later, I just recently figured out the depths of caring for myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And almost none of it you have to buy. But of course that's the first thing I wanted to do! When you buy a yoga membership or an expensive face mask or a trip to a tropical resort, you feel like </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"there, I did something! It's right there and proof that I am now taking control of my self care!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But... if you're still eyeing your disappointment-of-a-waistline in the mirror during mountain pose, or cramming that $200 revitalizing mask in the back of your cabinet after one use, or drafting a work email in your head while laying out under palm trees then...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...that's not caring for yourself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm sure we've all done something like this before. I mean I did all the above. But the stuff that really makes a difference (and part of the reason I suppose I can call myself a minimalist) is the real self care. The hard stuff. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Congratulating, forgiving, listening, letting go, feeling - that's the real stuff. They're not events or things to own. They're everyday life-changers. I mean a face mask and a trip to a day spa can only take you so far. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a student of self love/care, I only now realize it's the meat-and-potatos of life! You're feeding yourself and it miraculously makes you full. I think because it attracts other wonderful gifts, like self awareness and self possession. And because it's so filling, I find I have very little room for other "stuff" actually. Even though I have a looooong way to go, after much practice, I enjoy that it has an awesome side effect of streamlining ones life, yielding only what serves and blocking out the mess.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose these photos for this particular post because mornings are when I feel most open to self care. It is a time when I feel the softest and yet the most determined to kick butt. Mornings are nature's makeover!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What's your favorite time of day?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been focusing more on my capsule than ever. My wish list for seasonal treats, has been minimized to accessories only. Special things to go with my everyday style.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Goodness, there is so much fashion all around us! It's incredibly inspiring. And then crippling in a way, from overwhelm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And especially after big sales like this past Memorial Day weekend, it's tempting for even a seasoned minimalist like myself to buy things just because they're fun and financially within my grasp.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I must stay true... to what is true and meaningful. And I truly love having only what I absolutely love and need. For everyday! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This kind of lifestyle often means rarely springing for sales, as well as watching the daily plethora of promotions I get hit with every morning come and go. And I enjoy it. I've grown well-accustomed to browsing and feasting on eye-candy. And then being done with it. My Tiny gem of a closet is a product of that. And for the record, I never considered it a "capsule" until the word became popular and I found that it best described my wardrobe. But really, it's just...my closet.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I've grown an allegiance to what you could call a minimalist lifestyle partly due to the type of person I am, and also because of my daily routine.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These photos show me on one of the shoots I directed during the week for my clothing line. Since I do roughly the same things every single day - and many times, I do the same things at even the same time everyday, I am a creature of habit, so my collection of clothing definitely reflects that. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything in my life, from my closet to my head to my heart has a place, and I get better everyday at cutting out the rest. I want to make as little decisions as possible on the daily stuff and have more room for making the big juicy interesting decisions that take more time and energy so...</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-pGVeIMObboEFXoCdD59UNRlfdiW4LQt5nV3ZnZ89keMCYR63l8BegUSP-jxy91rlHXINuswaANOCmmNqqiAlvyemV82bStnO_RjooYPX_Uxt5xwF-m3Z21d0MX1MlrcLbmpBHfrxyU/s1600/blog+444+the+tiny+closet+capsule+wardrobe+minimalist+style+leisure+wear+The+Tourist+tunic+white+and+denim+day+looks+-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-pGVeIMObboEFXoCdD59UNRlfdiW4LQt5nV3ZnZ89keMCYR63l8BegUSP-jxy91rlHXINuswaANOCmmNqqiAlvyemV82bStnO_RjooYPX_Uxt5xwF-m3Z21d0MX1MlrcLbmpBHfrxyU/s1600/blog+444+the+tiny+closet+capsule+wardrobe+minimalist+style+leisure+wear+The+Tourist+tunic+white+and+denim+day+looks+-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess this has made me a minimalist. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This piece, a fabulous deep-v tunic is part of my daily look. Like all the time, ha. It's also part of <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/the-capsule-1/">The Capsule</a> line where all of the items are available year-round... Because I wear them year-round. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all have items in our closet that are go-tos all year long. I think a closet is better if it has that quality.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Because maybe you have a pretty routine day-to-day yourself and isn't it so nice to be able to grab a fabulous outfit everyday that always works for you, and always makes you feel fabulous? I think it is anyway. So here's another daily look for ya. I don't change them much but I do love indulging in making them look even better.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It has been so dark and gray in L.A. lately. A perfect backdrop to my routine reflection and contemplation. Blah.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Right about now in the year, I'm pausing. It'll be my birthday in a couple days and like clockwork, I am turning contemplative and yearning for change. Or just a bright sunny day, as it's the time of Gray May. But being from sunny Southern Cal, I have my pick of the sunny days so I'll stop complaining. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm needing new vibes is all. New surroundings to engage myself! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1dYct2N-Xcl3NMF5FbR7lsFhOCeVZ4ufGIjGL_8NhA_pd-14_VTd32hfszw3_ANN3_b8toV0L6FagWu5rRnT-6R41siohnPnNg_4iAG6SYW86N7TuLd5L1sAwoJ-LPjngCqg6alpo3KE/s1600/blog443+the+tiny+closet+daily+style+leisure+harem+pants+simple+white+wrap+top+fall+looks+modern+trench+minimal+style+natural+hair+-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1dYct2N-Xcl3NMF5FbR7lsFhOCeVZ4ufGIjGL_8NhA_pd-14_VTd32hfszw3_ANN3_b8toV0L6FagWu5rRnT-6R41siohnPnNg_4iAG6SYW86N7TuLd5L1sAwoJ-LPjngCqg6alpo3KE/s1600/blog443+the+tiny+closet+daily+style+leisure+harem+pants+simple+white+wrap+top+fall+looks+modern+trench+minimal+style+natural+hair+-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's odd because I don't really crave that in my wardrobe. Different outfits everyday. New colors, new looks - Nah, you can keep it. I guess that's why a 28-piece capsule works so well for me. This ensemble is part of that of course. And I get a kick out of wearing each piece daily because I know I'll always look and feel great in them. I am confident in my wardrobe and enthusiastic in evolving it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My birthday always finds me assessing my journey so far in life, trying to congratulate myself on my work without glaring too hard at the many things I procrastinated on. But mostly, every birthday, I find myself still waiting for something. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Does this happen to you? Do you ever feel like you're waiting?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-gbicmyVHVEDsTYXpfFhuggTWW2PskwS-dpSjvfVgUPbhtAnRRPq9sYZOrD8r2siFpuAbCcGQa2MvKrg99ole6GfsfOHQ5b2wqROwqIfILN38WOxu1YkHmL8poIvoZRcc9VhLA543mBw/s1600/blog443+the+tiny+closet+daily+style+leisure+harem+pants+simple+white+wrap+top+fall+looks+modern+trench+minimal+style+natural+hair+-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-gbicmyVHVEDsTYXpfFhuggTWW2PskwS-dpSjvfVgUPbhtAnRRPq9sYZOrD8r2siFpuAbCcGQa2MvKrg99ole6GfsfOHQ5b2wqROwqIfILN38WOxu1YkHmL8poIvoZRcc9VhLA543mBw/s1600/blog443+the+tiny+closet+daily+style+leisure+harem+pants+simple+white+wrap+top+fall+looks+modern+trench+minimal+style+natural+hair+-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I'm waiting on that mythical moment where I can put up my feet and relax because I'm finally here! Hey there, adulthood! Hey there, life, I'm here and I'm crushing it! I really want to say that. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or maybe I'm waiting for that adventure of a lifetime. The kind of epic adventure where I'm so in the moment, I forget time exists and I'm so hysterically caught up in life that I'm not worried about paying rent or if I fed the dog. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or maybe I'm waiting for the big game-changing break in my career where I feel like my hard work has truly paid off and I'm really making a difference. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But those things have already happened in my life. A few times actually. Yet, I'm still waiting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really am happy to be turning 35. Ok I just wrote that and realized I'm definitely not. Fine, so I'm not that happy to be turning 35! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I'm not pursing my lips at the vanity of age. It's the fact that I don't really know what I want out of life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clearly, I'm waiting for something to come along though.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My clothing, my mastery of my personal style has helped me see who I am over the years. I've focused so hard on the art of getting dressed, building and mastering a closet I love. I think I need to focus on how to build and curate a <i>life</i> that I love. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I read somewhere, <i>"What would your 86 year old self tell you now?"</i> </span><span style="font-size: large;">I think she'd tell me to take more breaks, spend more time with friends and be easier on myself. I'll start with that.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope you enjoy the Memorial weekend and join me next Thursday for a new post!</span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember this <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2018/03/alluring-basics.html">little yellow knit dress</a>? I wore it at the crisp beginning of Spring - probably the first yellow dress I've ever worn. Designed for The Tiny Closet Shop, this midi dress was meant to be quite versatile and go with any foundational wardrobe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, instead of a trench and white woven block heels, I decided to spice it up for the sake of restyling inspiration: a fun fresh white mud cloth open coat and black simple strap heeled sandals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0vZGM5_jBm2TRs7lacBCemI84wuqPEyTkP7f1pNgyc5kiv0jBzU6sqKhjmo584gfOK80IrRXqKeKA3MRx-fVDCDhhHoNvhv9VjazVxZ8nv_wXCuTWAjxDK80SOZp_bwoHa7SJ2NaJXNo/s1600/blog+442+the+tiny+closet+personal+style+mustard+knit+midi+dress+mud+cloth+coat+daily+spring+summer+looks+-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0vZGM5_jBm2TRs7lacBCemI84wuqPEyTkP7f1pNgyc5kiv0jBzU6sqKhjmo584gfOK80IrRXqKeKA3MRx-fVDCDhhHoNvhv9VjazVxZ8nv_wXCuTWAjxDK80SOZp_bwoHa7SJ2NaJXNo/s1600/blog+442+the+tiny+closet+personal+style+mustard+knit+midi+dress+mud+cloth+coat+daily+spring+summer+looks+-5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This particular ensemble isn't something I'd wear - it's not quite me but I couldn't help but take photos of it when I thought up the pairings. It reminds me of something fun to wear on a girls trip or out to lunch. And I do this a lot actually, these types of out-of-my-zone stylings. The habit keeps my brain and ideas fresh and ready to experiment with anything. Why is that helpful?</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, for me personally, since I design clothing for other women, it keeps me thinking about all the different possibilities of styling and designing and not just sticking to my own comforts, which is limiting over time. Experimentation, dress up sessions, are also helpful for finding one's own personal style. Or igniting a spark of new ideas with an old wardrobe.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Take your clothes and just try on everything with everything else! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You'd be surprised at all the fantastic outfits that can be put together when you come at styling from a different, unfamiliar angle. That's what my Style After Style series is all about.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the last one (for now) of my Style After Style series. I will probably start up a new one again in Fall or Winter. I love taking seasonal pieces and crossing them over to other seasons. So I hope you enjoyed these posts dedicated to restyling one's own wardrobe!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Obviously I've worn these rugged jeans a million and one times but I wanted to highlight these two instances, these two above ensembles to show the range of my favorite denims!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I never wear a cropped top with harem pants of any kind, especially with these drop-crotch jeans. I always thought it looked terribly unflattering. Buuuuut, I recently designed (what I think to be) a gorgeous top and, in its newest color: femme-y lavender, I decided to pair this cropped top with the most rugged, worn denim I could think of.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Definitely not an outfit I would wear daily (I do not typically show tummy skin - not even at the beach, humph!) but for a party, or a couple drinks with friends in a crowded bar, this outfit will do nicely. I feel like a lady, but rugged enough to not feel frou frou... Because lavender is most certainly frou frou to me. Pretty much any pastel is, in my opinion. But shame on me because with styling and intuition, you can make anything look the way <i>you</i> want it to look, no matter how solidified its pre-existing reputation.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, this was another fun "Style After Style" feature. And actually, this series is the nuts and bolts of The Tiny Closet! This is what my lifestyle is all about. Taking the clothing you have, honoring what you buy and really utilizing it for your daily style as artfully and thoughtfully as possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, I haven't been able to squeeze in a new blog post for you today. My full time job has taken me completely away from the blog for a moment and I plan to return with a fresh new restyled look next Thursday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been doing a few features for other brands recently and I thought I'd share one with you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may already know, I absolutely love 2Rivers leather bags. Their dedication to quality is definitely something to be admired, especially in the world of fashion accessories. Their very simple, streamlined designs become beautiful statements, as they leave ample room to showcase the quality of the leather and how nicely the piece is put together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was gifted a full size open tote, I knew I'd be carrying it everywhere! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> From groceries to random errands picking up crafts and sewing notions, I've been taking this bag along as it carries everything - aaaaand the straps are long enough that it can still be worn on my shoulder. I can't stand my hands being occupied.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I also love how neutral all of their bags can be. While this Mombasa Tote does come in different colors, I love sticking with the natural leather. The way it ages is gorgeous and it goes with my entire wardrobe.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I really liked the outfit I put together with this bag. The cocoa midi pants are actually available to shop now! Simple and comfortable, this is the style I will be rocking all season long.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These amazingly fabulous, stunning patent sky high mules aren't that well travelled yet but I've already managed to add them to all kinds of ensembles over the past year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure which look is my favorite so far - I love all the pairings I've done. But I guess that's the product of a Tiny Closet you truly love. Every look, every item tends to be your favorite! Let me tell you, it is so wonderful always having something fabulous to wear. And it has nothing to do with money. Actually, now that I think about it, it may narrow down to two things:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Know what you like to see on yourself.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Buy only what you love.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But speaking of a dream closet that doesn't have anything to do with money...</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These new chinos (yeesh, I never thought I'd say that word: chinos. Bleh. I guess I have a dated association of that word with my high school days when Old Navy reigned supreme in suburbia) from J.Crew were a TOTAL SPONTANEOUS BUY. Sorry for the obnoxious caps buuuut if you know The Tiny Closet "way", you know building a closet you love rarely relies on impulsive consumption.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But there's a slight difference between impulsive and spontaneous. Impulsiveness is driven by emotion, which is probably why "impulse shopping" feels naughty. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd been looking for a pair of fun pants that I couldn't sew myself. Preferably of the polka-dot nature and baggy. In pops a timely email from J. Crew announcing a ludicrous sale. 40% off sale items, double promotions, combining discount codes, yaddah, yaddah yah. Amazing right?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had no plans on buying anything that day or even browsing online. I had actually sat down at my computer to check on a shipment number and 30 mins later, I'm pressing Buy Now on two items in my cart. Impulsive? Nah. Spontaneous? Yes. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And it was all according to plan.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, some type of plan... </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But that's the thing, when you know exactly what you want, when you randomly see it, a random purchase is not so out of the blue. You'd been wanting it and simply waiting for it to come into your radar.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So these awesome pants were deeply discounted and now dearly loved by me. Olive khakis, a Tiny Closet A/W17 top and a glossy heel. I bought the pants 3 sizes too big for a slouchy, baggy S/S casual Friday feel. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Simple, city stylings for a darker Spring look.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This might just be my favorite seasonal capsule yet. And I'm not even a "Spring" person. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the color palette I pulled together for this season really fit my personal style and did a good job of translating my mood for Spring. I may not kick it with pastels or florals, but warm tans, crisp white, an understated blush statement (with lots of wheat hues) all together transition me nicely out of Winter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My foundational capsule, Thee capsule, I wear all year round so it is always apart of my seasonal wardrobe. But lets just focus on the Spring capsule for now: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Texture is pretty important to me. I don't wear a plethora of color or prints so I need to go deeper with coordination and focus on design and texture! Super thick mud cloth, smooth rayon ponti knit, a lightweight linen and ribbed cotton knit. No matter how I wear any of the above pieces with each other and with my base wardrobe, they will compliment everything quite nicely.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Almost all of these items are available in the shop. The Tiny Closet Shop really is a reflection of my personal style. I shop for my clothing mainly from myself, ha!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This dark stormy top is long in back and cropped in front. <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2017/09/rugged-jeans-fine-tees.html">Featured in this blog post here</a>, it goes with all my pants and jeans - all my bottoms!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This heather grey jersey dress is asymmetric and great for not just everyday activities but events as well. No wonder I wear it all year long. Originally featured <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2016/08/casual-elegance.html">here</a> on the blog in a slightly different grey. And you can shop it <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/shop/the-artist-knit">here</a> at my shop!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This railroad denim dress has been in the shop for a few seasons now, first debuting for Fall. But with mild, comfy California weather, I can wear this mama almost all year. Anyway, you've never seen me in it - <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/the-capsule-1/the-painter-railroad-denim">only my models in the shop</a>. But I'll be wearing it here on the blog this season.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this smoky asymmetric dress (identical to the grey knit one above) is drop dead gorgeous. And I feel so luxurious in it! I love it also because even though it feels and looks just like washed silk, it's semi-synthetic cupro (made from cotton) aaaaand no dry cleaning necessary! Just pop it in the washer, tumble dry and go. It's fancy without all the maintenance. Plus it looks dynamite on. You can take a look (and even shop it!) <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/shop/the-artist-smoke">here at the shop</a>. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I did want to include my new season shoes. I will probably were mules for the rest of my life. Why? I have no idea! I just really fancy them. They're luxurious looking yet comfortable and I can wear them leisurely as well as for higher end events and occasions. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The polka-dot chinos were a spontaneous purchase (gasp!!) J. Crew has been having absolutely ludicrous sales so I finally jumped on it and bought 2 things. These pants I'll be showing you on Thursday in my normal scheduled posting time. They're so fun and easy. And I got them two sizes too big because I wanted a really loose, baggy look. You'll see em' in a couple days. That reminds me, speaking of spontaneous/impulse purchases, there is indeed an art to it that I have been planning to share! Impulse purchases are not only ok (yes, even if you're a minimalist) they're dare I say, necessary! But more on that later...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I own two pairs of vintage Levi's: one pair is <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2018/03/styling-intuitively.html">baggy and a bit torn up</a> and the other pair, though I haven't shared them with you yet for some crazy reason, are tight, high waisted and make my butt look like a baby pumpkin. Heyoh! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lots to share and still more to show and tell! I'm looking forward to the continuation of this season. I am also working on featuring my season capsules earlier than in the middle of the season itself. Sorry about that. But hopefully this Tiny tour of my Tiny Spring closet will inspire ideas for your own personal style and show you that just a few thoughtfully curated items you absolutely love each season can really make a fulfilling difference. Quality over quantity isn't just efficient for my personal lifestyle, it's actually more cost effective! You wear your clothes longer, you shop less, you waste less and you conserve energy on daily decision-making. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This maxi, deep-v tunic is a versatile gem and is in my capsule wardrobe. I can wear it year-round (partly because I live in L.A.) because it truly goes with everything. Truly I've worn it with everything - these shots above are just several of my favorite looks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I've never worn it with shorts or a mini. So today I am featuring the latter:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So from lounge knit midi pants to leather, to vintage jeans to boyfriend jeans! And now a softer feminine feel. Maintaining ultimate simplicity of course.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As my 2nd restyling feature, I picked a piece I rarely wear but for event/avant gard occasions. This Robert Rodriguez maxi circle skirt called to me years ago and I haven't tired of it since.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With mesh paneling, a cropped front and geometric embroidery, I found a skirt that was masterfully designed and executed. That's my sewer's perspective, lol - but as a curator of artful pieces, I highly covet this one and so appreciate it's uniqueness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQfz5aFrSAsjNwPapJIHfRR79IruA-qzFM0wnELLRznEcFdrNVS3QyHbhTpKnIiX6Y-TjYbVot6nyyXLk3EDWv0fi1QhS0r1_BB2_EewLbLQ6OIwBGl3fTLGZpPYAz-5bFF3DMEgN5gk/s1600/blog+437.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="698" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQfz5aFrSAsjNwPapJIHfRR79IruA-qzFM0wnELLRznEcFdrNVS3QyHbhTpKnIiX6Y-TjYbVot6nyyXLk3EDWv0fi1QhS0r1_BB2_EewLbLQ6OIwBGl3fTLGZpPYAz-5bFF3DMEgN5gk/s1600/blog+437.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have many photos of myself in this one, considering how long I've had it, eek! But as you can how I've styled it over time above, it's a rather season-less skirt. Perfectly dramatic (and full coverage I might add) for Winter with tights and a fitted top.

<span style="font-size: large;">a Spring/Summer look. All black with a cropped textured print, a pop of color, and gold accessories. As I shot this in the Arts District the other day, I did feel like I wasn't wearing an outfit for just walking and coffee (which is my usual go-to leisure activity when I'm not home). But it just depends on personal style. Some women wear stilettos to the airport so of course I can chill in this getup while sipping a pour-over. I just wouldn't. I would wear this on a date at the museum with Theo, or at a wedding. It's funny, I actually am planning on doing both of those things.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been designing simple cropped bolero-type jackets in The Tiny Closet Shop. Mainly using African mud cloths that I always keep stocked. I thought it would be a creative touch to pair one with a huge skirt and a simple lace cami. I love it! But the jacket is definitely still in design...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">All you petite ladies out there, don't be afraid to wear a maxi skirt! - even if it's practically floor length. Simply keep the shoes and top super simple and the top better be cropped! It lengthens you. Heels are best with such a whale of a skirt buuuut if ya know me, you know I don't give a hoot about the rules. These days, there aren't any rules anyway so wear what you love.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I aint gonna lie, mama felt saucy in this ensemble. All black, a bit of lace, a spicy red shoe, big hair.... I felt like I was back in Spain watching flamenco dancers putting on shows in the streets of Seville.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So all black for Spring is certainly not festive, I know. I've never been into pastels but I was delighted to see that a couple of the leading colors for Spring 18' is tomato and paprika! I love a good orangey red and for Spring, both go quite will with a plethora of pinks and pale blues. Just you wait!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope you liked this 2nd installment of my Style After Style series! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This series really is the roots of The Tiny Closet. Styling and re-styling is the name of the game when you're working with 28 pieces year-round. After 6 years of rocking a tiny (sometimes minuscule) closet, I'd say I've gotten good at what I do here. But what's great about restyling is there is always another way to wear your clothes, another ensemble to put together, another perspective. And I still love talking about it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So join me next Thursday for another Style After Style feature! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And see what I pick next :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Today marks the kickoff of a reprised series of Tiny Closet re-stylings! You may remember a couple years ago when I collaged blog posts of pieces I'd worn in the past and put them together to show how I'd restyled them over the years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am beginning this series again for the Spring season where I'll be <i>newly</i> restyling pieces in my closet that I've featured before - but in all new ways. Style After Style.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because like, that's what the Tiny Closet is all about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll start with my beloved<b> leather midi skirt</b>. This mama is gorgeous, beautifully made and actually, was able to fit me through thick and thin and always made me feel chic and modern (even though it's technically vintage as it was made in the 80s).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've worn it through every season but Summer with oversize tops, heels, flats, hoodies, you name it. The above photos feature my most diverse looks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have my personal favorite ensembles but I this present look I slipped on is my new fave.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not gonna lie, it's been freezing in L.A., but I was excited about this look and wanted to share the restyling a bit earlier than the season is permitting. Perhaps this will give you ideas on how to rock your own midi skirt! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because actually, midi skirts can be pretty awkward. The hem has got to hit you perfectly. Not to mention, the fabric is a huge factor: too thick, you're frumpy and wide looking. Too stiff, you look like you're walking around in a paper bag.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Give us shape!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Give us drape!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and give me a slit so I can move like a normal human being. My cat-like reflexes and incessant 4-lane jay-walking demands it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to wear a very cropped tee with this waist-sitting skirt. It's my own design and practically aerodynamic. That's why I wear a bralette with it always. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My vision for this ensemble since I RARELY show this much skin? Definitely a fun date with my Theo. Dressing for my husband is always loads of fun because I can step outside my modest style, get sexy and still feel cozy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Minimalism is always fun though. I am wearing three pieces (counting my shoes) that can be beautifully highlighted with small embellishments. Like full brows and big hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If anything is going to do the talking, I want it to be me. If the midi skirt is wearing you, you're doing it wrong I say. And that's a bit of a challenge for a gal like me because I'm 5' tall. Everything tends to look like it's wearing me instead of the other way around. So that's why I tend to not do too much after getting dressed. Just the really important stuff.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, I hope I've shown that with midi skirts, there really is so much one can do! Not just pairings and stylings but events! From dinners to work conferences, to museums, concerts, cocktail parties, happy hour, brunch with the girls - alright, alright, you get it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I go super casual, I of course try to balance it with a great hair style, a bright, fresh face and a pop of accessory of some kind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVYMHz6xIu8IMUI6S4ra8yMCeHjouRsPyLvFpy5dNT-84GcHXK7KBHUS1ztKXYOjMzcNycKPce3jRWKKfUst_sXvMQBZP_LHMJ89-GmnR00UOIXdQEHEntosOqmc0qCCCIvu6Bnhivfo/s1600/blog+435+the+tiny+closet+casual+style+vintage+jeans+and+cropped+tee+chuck+taylors+strathberry+accesory+red+-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVYMHz6xIu8IMUI6S4ra8yMCeHjouRsPyLvFpy5dNT-84GcHXK7KBHUS1ztKXYOjMzcNycKPce3jRWKKfUst_sXvMQBZP_LHMJ89-GmnR00UOIXdQEHEntosOqmc0qCCCIvu6Bnhivfo/s1600/blog+435+the+tiny+closet+casual+style+vintage+jeans+and+cropped+tee+chuck+taylors+strathberry+accesory+red+-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because it's surprising how fast a jeans-and-tee look can go from fun and casual to frumpy and dodging an ex in the grocery store. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And "casual" doesn't mean you don't need to put at least a <i>little</i> somethin into it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seeing street style photos of celebrities looking drop dead fabulous in regular looking getups - it aint the clothes or their beauty. We are all gorgeous first of all. It's their inherent style that makes us wild with envy and style goals. It is style that is lead by intuition. Because that's what it is. Simply knowing what works, really well, for you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I talk about "effortless" quite a lot. And really, all it is is intuition. Good style can be seen in anything - even if all you're wearing is a bath robe. Or maybe jeans and a tee. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's much less about the labor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The majority of street style shots proves this: candid photos of women who simply style themselves intuitively.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I mean, I think we all agree that no one wants to work hard at looking good. Plus we shouldn't even have to. It was never about that anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There tends to be a narrow view of "minimalism" and "capsules"...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPl1HK2RuYxdl9NEZpBIqMF91vSQwcmNs-6bPbHIL-_bhIXgywOkfD1CuGYN5FcPiOZHb_0OHCfxsquwdzInobHExHOEkkJdYEH3avzx_3RCHhAz5xxRp42dry19Bm_d8mP_1Qy_DV3o/s1600/blog434+the+tiny+closet+yellow+knit+midi+dress+the+socialite+spring+summer+wear+day+dress+-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPl1HK2RuYxdl9NEZpBIqMF91vSQwcmNs-6bPbHIL-_bhIXgywOkfD1CuGYN5FcPiOZHb_0OHCfxsquwdzInobHExHOEkkJdYEH3avzx_3RCHhAz5xxRp42dry19Bm_d8mP_1Qy_DV3o/s1600/blog434+the+tiny+closet+yellow+knit+midi+dress+the+socialite+spring+summer+wear+day+dress+-4.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe because the aesthetic of minimalism is always marketed as blank or stark. Monochrome arrangements with black, white and grey as the featured colors. As the <i>only</i> colors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then with capsules, which is supposed to be a small collection of clothing that you wear year round - they tend to be made up of predominantly black, white and grey pieces as well. And as much as I love that trio of colors, I've never resonated with wearing them all year long, day in and day out - blah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Very few women do! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And so the minimalist lifestyle with its capsules and uniform-like closet staples continues to be misunderstood and avoided. What a shame.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because this minimalist outfit right here is my kind of basic uniform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aside from my strong opinion that yellow is always a good idea, who said basics and all-season colors had to be black, white and grey? Yes, those shades match with everything - but at what cost people?! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, capsules are focused on utility and efficiency but that's not <i>all</i> they're about. The most perfect, efficient closet is useless if you don't want to wear the clothing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like most women, I enjoy bringing out my natural coloring with different hues and prints. I also have different moods and dress for different versions of myself (like we all do) - so I need diversity and versatility. My point is...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your capsule closet can be whatever you want it to be. And your endeavor into minimalism doesn't mean you throw away everything and go on a clothing fast. If you love plum, leopard print and florals - well those can be worn all year long and make for incredible "basics". You know why?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because you love them, that's why!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This month I'll be continuing to touch on the diversity of minimalism and how inclusive it really is. The Tiny Closet is my closet, where I show my way to live as a minimalist and work with capsules. But minimalism has many faces and is as individual as each of us. So I'll be featuring different looks as a fun exploration of this niche lifestyle.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In an earlier post, I mentioned my attempts to build a few resort looks using mainly the pieces I already have in my closet. I decided to make a pair of loose, cropped peg-leg pants... honestly, I can't say I'm in love with them. Which is why I won't be adding them to my Spring capsule (or any part of my closet). I just didn't have enough time to make them like <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2015/12/winter-inspiration.html">these pants here</a> that are not cropped. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, they were fun to wear for this shoot to show-and-tell with you but I will be returning to the design to perfect it. This turtleneck, a Tiny Closet design, I'm attempting to wear as much as possible while it's weirdly freezing cold here in L.A.. (yay!!) I never get to wear turtlenecks, which is my second favorite neckline (deep scoop necks are my #1 jammmm). And the color I can't get enough of. It's proven to be perfect for my resort looks - I've always felt resort wear looks bronzy, warm and golden. But that's me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This leather weekend bag from <a href="https://www.2rivers-shop.com/">2 Rivers</a> is hands down my favorite work bag. I love the company and their quality and style. Simple, understated and very well made. I talked all about this particular bag <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2017/07/accessorizing-w-2-rivers.html">here</a>. It's a gem and will be with me for years to come. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm also excited to talk about another bag from 2 Rivers as I teamed up with them again for Spring. More to come on that one :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These tropical pants really did do the trick for adjusting a previous resort wear look into a second. And this top is brilliant for trips as it goes.with.everything.. It is still available at <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/shop/the-stylist-top-rust">my shop</a> (psst - it's also in olive!) so check it out and shop it now if you're transitioning into Spring and want a warmer look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a way of making virtually any article of clothing I come across sleep-able. Because why would you wear it if it's not so damn comfy you could sleep in it? I know it's not what most women consider when shopping but that's certainly one of my core guidelines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything I wear has an air of leisure. I want to look polished and feminine always but I don't think I should try too hard at it. And boy do I need to be comfortable to be confident in whatever I wear. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So why not sporty loungewear? That's certainly comfortable. And I <i>did</i> try my best to hop aboard the Oprah-endorsed "Athleisure" train but... you can't sashay into Bottega Louis for a $25 salad and a glass of rosé in Nikes and a hoodie no matter how tailored it is. It's just not the same.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ha, but for those interested in getting more acquainted with a higher-end loungewear look, I usually follow these guidelines:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Instead of leggings, I opt for peg-leg pants or harem pants.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Skip the sweat pants and go for chambray or linen joggers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Palazzos, gauchos, loose mid-length pants? All great options for loungewear. And can be paired with any top.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Instead of a tee shirt, slip on a camisole or a tee made of linen, crepe or silk. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Skip the sweatshirt and grab an oversize thin cardigan sweater (preferably in cotton or wool)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pair a flat mule with any linen or cotton dress</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And forget the rest. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I almost forgot... about Valentines Day! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you've been following me for a while, you may know that I LOVE this day. A day of love? What could be better?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A day to show those who are close to you that they're loved. By you! Lovers, friends, family, and secret crushes - Valentines Day is hands down, my favorite holiday. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It's also a fave because I love chocolate. And though candy is the cornier side to this day, like Halloween, the <i>chocolate</i> runeth over - and can be easily attained for free at front desks and lobbies. Mmmm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHXWXRO2AVvkgOAJtfYcIACK9Nvd2nmh2X5mlPCy1xyyZbg3J9XMiCrl0G-eUa4WIjrExdCwVz_2Cm2pmSipSN_DtgZD5d0JvB4UWoCKJ1nwl49qNyGsav_izgW3IlzU9b1hmNsFAQR0g/s1600/blog431+-the+tiny+closet+valentines+day+strathberry+MC+Nano+Ruby+and+The+Tourist+tunic+in+white+oversize+statement+pieces+-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHXWXRO2AVvkgOAJtfYcIACK9Nvd2nmh2X5mlPCy1xyyZbg3J9XMiCrl0G-eUa4WIjrExdCwVz_2Cm2pmSipSN_DtgZD5d0JvB4UWoCKJ1nwl49qNyGsav_izgW3IlzU9b1hmNsFAQR0g/s1600/blog431+-the+tiny+closet+valentines+day+strathberry+MC+Nano+Ruby+and+The+Tourist+tunic+in+white+oversize+statement+pieces+-5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I think I love this day so much because I have such fond memories of it from childhood. My mom would give me a goofy sweet card with homemade cookies or she'd bake a cake. And my dad would send a dozen roses to my school addressed to me from a <i>"secret admirer" - love dad</i>.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now in my 30s, those fun Valentines traditions are long gone. But they've left me with rose-colored glasses when looking at this day each year. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still, I celebrate love daily and every time Theo and I go out on a date, I feel like we're still dating. As a Christmas present, my mother got me a simply stunning bag from <a href="http://www.strathberry.com/">Strathberry</a>. I had mentioned to her that I wanted a tiny little bag for my date nights. Instead of the beauteous lugs I have for work. It's not very romantic shuffling through fabric swatches and invoices when reapplying my lipstick at dinner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So she surprised me and let me pick the color of my new <a href="https://www.strathberry.com/collections/mc-nano/products/mc-nano-ruby">MC Nano shoulder bag</a>. In the spirit of date night, I of course chose ruby red.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And it's perfect.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> And I also thought it'd be perfect to debut today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, this brilliant red is also a fabulous statement color for everyday. And you know me, my wardrobe isn't a museum - I want to live in my clothes! Sure this bag will be special for special occasions buuuuut, say for instance a fun day out where I'll only need my phone, Visa, and lipstick? This MC Nano mama will go with just about everything I own. Boom! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> And speaking of going with everything - my Tourist Tunic in white (from <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/">The Tiny Closet Shop</a>) is pretty much the coolest thing I own besides my hopeful collection of vintage Levis. In a place like L.A., it's a seasonless statement piece and considered a basic. White tees don't have to <i>look</i> like white tees. I love putting a statement spin on trusted everyday pieces like a t-shirt and jeans.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have any plans for today. Not only is my husband half a planet away, my overwhelming workload has left me isolated and draaaaaaiiind. Last year, I celebrated my love for my work and my professional partnership with Theo - but this year, I find myself needing a vacation from this "devotion" to my business.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you're enjoying your week, and if you're not (like me) treat yo'self to a special Valentines treat, just for you. Or share it if that makes the treat even better.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Like most Los Angelites, the moments it gets cold in this desert city, we delight in joining in wearing more season appropriate styles like the rest of you... like wearing jackets and coats for instance.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzJIpj-coXk5yw8nc4wZrIsL5gI6lhbUT0yff7f2qhyJSwuy6vsVxfhdpMo-uBqT5ZAD1D1e3b923CYovhP124MZUbdiM8wrrZ-2XR_iy1AoqXKnDRNtSmFPIU4LB6LeGp4tiKQ_BC5w/s1600/blog430+-the+tiny+closet+city+winter+wear+leather+jacket+and+navy+Shopper+midi+dress+sneakers+with+a+dress+-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzJIpj-coXk5yw8nc4wZrIsL5gI6lhbUT0yff7f2qhyJSwuy6vsVxfhdpMo-uBqT5ZAD1D1e3b923CYovhP124MZUbdiM8wrrZ-2XR_iy1AoqXKnDRNtSmFPIU4LB6LeGp4tiKQ_BC5w/s1600/blog430+-the+tiny+closet+city+winter+wear+leather+jacket+and+navy+Shopper+midi+dress+sneakers+with+a+dress+-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE this Muubaa leather jacket but I probably wear it twice a year. It's just too hot to wear it more often than that. *sigh* So when we had couple days of high 50s weather, I popped this lover on over one of my newest Winter pieces from The Tiny Closet Shop (The Shopper midi dress) and completed a cool city look with some black sneakers.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This dress is a knockout in heels but I'll leave that to my fabulous customers to rock. For me, sneakers are the reality. Even for this lil shoot, I couldn't be bothered with heels! Maybe because I'm all work and no play these days. Easy operation is <i>key</i>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am resonating with waves lately instead of my fun tiny spiral curls. It's hard to part with them but I have a rule: when you look in the mirror and you're not totally feeling yourself (vain, I know - but that's the ABCs of me, what can I say...) change it! A change will do you good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://www.thetinyclosetshop.com/shop/the-shopper-navy">The Shopper</a> is still available in my Winter collection! This is a classic piece and I think it'll be showing up in my Fall and Spring capsule wardrobes. You can wear this midi dress everywhere! But I guess the same thing goes for a lot of the clothes I wear...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been wanting to make myself a little collection of resort wear for the longest time!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I rarely take grand vacations as I realize I spend a lot of my leisure time in and around downtown. And even though I do go to the Philippines to visit family, I rarely get to rock a clear and present resort look. So...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to incorporate a "Resort look" into my own Tiny Closet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaeARxvc6aLt-ZPW8kULaGkT-c7cibGXxs8XwISslNeM3-AMGzkc2KBDxx8ur58QhNXh6CQYGv15x6dBXONecoLYE8CD_UPLcuQOM9MI5LkkFKq6EWwgajHHyOR84sL6SGtk_VLg3J4o/s1600/blog429+the+tiny+closet+spring+18+the+stylist+top+rust+gaucho+midi+pants+white+casual+luxury+wear+-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaeARxvc6aLt-ZPW8kULaGkT-c7cibGXxs8XwISslNeM3-AMGzkc2KBDxx8ur58QhNXh6CQYGv15x6dBXONecoLYE8CD_UPLcuQOM9MI5LkkFKq6EWwgajHHyOR84sL6SGtk_VLg3J4o/s1600/blog429+the+tiny+closet+spring+18+the+stylist+top+rust+gaucho+midi+pants+white+casual+luxury+wear+-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Using rich brilliant colors, statement jewelry and an accompanying white <i>anything</i> - I found this type of minor tweaking can really transform any capsule wardrobe! Now, when I say capsule, I want to iterate that I do <i>not</i> have a capsule closet. What I have, and what my blog prescribes is 3-4 seasonal capsule wardrobes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To briefly describe this (as I will definitely revisit this in more detail in a future post), instead of having 28-32 pieces to wear the entire year with no additions or seasonal changes, I have a "foundation" closet of basics and then each season, I add a few special festive pieces to wear with that base closet. As each season passes, I store away those seasonal collections for next year and move on to the next season.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Why do I do this?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wI0pT1dShPh3yynhpkgCmJa2gDa7jLPm8fd35MilUgodDxEwcNPOs6Jmyrlyhy2nJjl8x6EF6-Q3xBLs5lu0-3ZAAeKaX0pTTP2sINHcqvmF3Jzq47hJPHSYLSYofRWu9lCJ-E7IwaA/s1600/blog429+the+tiny+closet+spring+18+the+stylist+top+rust+gaucho+midi+pants+white+casual+luxury+wear+-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1071" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6wI0pT1dShPh3yynhpkgCmJa2gDa7jLPm8fd35MilUgodDxEwcNPOs6Jmyrlyhy2nJjl8x6EF6-Q3xBLs5lu0-3ZAAeKaX0pTTP2sINHcqvmF3Jzq47hJPHSYLSYofRWu9lCJ-E7IwaA/s1600/blog429+the+tiny+closet+spring+18+the+stylist+top+rust+gaucho+midi+pants+white+casual+luxury+wear+-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, it certainly didn't use to be this way. I originally had one wardrobe that took me through the entire year with no additions. I personally think everyone should try this once - puts a lot of things into perspective. And the reason I started this blog. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But now, I have seasonal wardrobes...Because I love to design clothing! And though I am fundamentally a minimalist, I'm always coming up with something new to wear, both for myself and my shop. I also choose to have seasonal wardrobes because I adore shopping(!!) but I treat it as a very special privileged event that I save to do for myself a few times a year (like for example, each season).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So anyway, once I realized what I could do to create my own resort looks, I flew with that and began creating a fun Spring line reflecting my recent need these days for a bit of glamour and theatrics. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because what is Resort Wear if it isn't dramatic? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I mean it's so themed! Always reflecting adventure and escape in sunny, far-off tropical or exotic places.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So yes, this Spring, while I'm ubering around in L.A., I'll be dressing like I'm on a camel in Morocco. Because it's actually pretty easy. Try it yourself:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Resort Wear: A Tiny Guide</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Take your existing fabulous closet and ...</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Find a white skirt, dress or pair of pants</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Add a Fall-hued top </span>(not too bright or you'll look like you couldn't wait for Summer)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Pick a sling-back, mule or strapped sandal </span>(preferably close-toed - again, this isn't Summer!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> Find gold or silver statement jewelry. Jumbo pearls also work </span>(nothing small - go big!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Keep hair styling clean and chic. </span>And... don't be afraid to wear bronzer! A resort look is all about looking sun kissed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoyed this little d.i.y. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course there are a plethora of routes you can take from these few steps so have fun! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, before this gets too cryptic, Theo, Finn (our dog) and I were taking a long walk around the city and came across a new shopping center. I was wearing one of my favorite outfits: The Studio top by The Tiny Closet Shop, a pair of vintage jeans from <a href="http://www.virgodowntown.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Virgo</span></a>, where I buy all my vintage jeans and Chucks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we were walking... And the stores in this brand new indie-owned high end shopping center were gorgeous. And as I passed by an empty store that hadn't yet been moved into, I got a strange and yes, sparkly feeling that something here was meant for me. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, the only other time I felt this was a year before I met my husband. This weird, exciting feeling that I was fatefully walking towards him already.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then, there he appeared. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't usually share like this - and we weren't intending on taking photos - but there we were, walking by these artful shops and I felt like there was some serious foreshadowing going on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Life is so interesting and everyday really is full of possibilities. I've always flown by the seat of my pants with very little planning and a whole lot of heart and curiosity buuuuut</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lately, it's been nice walking in a more finite direction. With more intention. Anyway, our walk that day solidified my current feelings. About my shop, my clothing line, and realizing that my hobbyist nature has grown up a bit and decided to commit to something! Yasss honeys - I did not come to play!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> So this is a random post this week - I had planned to discuss something slightly different but I shoot from the hip and old habits do die hard. A favorite of my posts comes to mind that may be helpful to read (if you haven't already). It discusses one of my Tiny Closet truths in dressing to improve your life and if this post was too random - <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2014/02/let-your-closet-be-good-influence.html"><span style="color: blue;">check this one out</span></a> and I hope it inspires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Thanks for reading!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What is it about luxury that makes it so elusive? Surely, we can identify it once we see it. But to achieve the look ourselves, to embody it in our own way tends to be a feat. Magazines, television, department stores, they're all virtually prodding us endlessly to try to achieve this "look of luxury" by buying a product. As if it comes in physical form. And after sampling whats offered, for most of us, whatever we buy never quite pulls it off. And if it does, you better maintain it by buying more! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Yes, luxury, it seems, is for those who can afford it... </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Naaah, I don't buy it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe luxury is so elusive because its active ingredient is a <i>feeling</i> exuded. Not a look. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And true luxury is not to be confused with glamour.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">No - today, I'm discussing "Luxury"! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What is it made up of fundamentally? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How can you make it apart of your daily lifestyle?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so take away the Gucci bags, the expensive shades, the Louboutin heels, etc - I've seen women in jeans and a tee, without a stitch of makeup looking gloriously luxurious. What gives?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What do they possess that everyone else is trying to copy? </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I've studied this concept of luxury probably longer than I've been aware. And then I'm reminded of my upbringing: <i>My parents!</i></span><br />
<br />
My parents always had champagne tastes and an incredible work ethic to buy that champagne. But it's not about the money. I realize they never did much traveling or extravagant vacations. They decided to spend their energy and interests at home in their daily lifestyle. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My friends would always say my parents were so fancy. But really... <i>they just took more pride in the quality of their daily life, their personal time, and their daily leisure. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And that right there embodies true luxury.</b></span><br />

So going forward with this theory, let us do some dissecting, shall we? Luxury is simply the art of maintaining:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">QUALITY - TIME - LEISURE</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">These 3 components actually umbrella many aspects of life. </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Quality</span></b> of the things you buy and the clothes you wear. The life you lead and the friends you surround yourself with.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Time</span></b> management for yourself to exercise, therapize, and learn new things. Time to dedicate to others. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Leisure</span></b> to chill the fuck out. Grab a coffee, go to the beach, have a 3-hour brunch with friends. Because life is hectic and work can be intrusive of our space.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So basically, luxury is just a more mindful, self-possessed life? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, that's cool. Wah wah. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Buuuuut since this like, a personal style blog, let's talk about how this relates to our closets! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEganSl7d_DkgIPVmKr4Z0904_5fLF642pfKRFeRBBS-D4Pg04Z36dVpUYES6R9C2bgB7Eb1aJR3iGVmLXS_2xUNLpVSYIgecJE2sVYQnQJA4zoBtRsPW-Kl6qKaeK4n2pFOL1U9_lEzhyphenhypheng/s1600/blog427+the+tiny+closet+minimal+luxury+loungewear+the+tourist+top+white+and+nude+-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEganSl7d_DkgIPVmKr4Z0904_5fLF642pfKRFeRBBS-D4Pg04Z36dVpUYES6R9C2bgB7Eb1aJR3iGVmLXS_2xUNLpVSYIgecJE2sVYQnQJA4zoBtRsPW-Kl6qKaeK4n2pFOL1U9_lEzhyphenhypheng/s1600/blog427+the+tiny+closet+minimal+luxury+loungewear+the+tourist+top+white+and+nude+-8.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My theory as to how luxury pertains to personal style is this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The key to looking and dressing luxuriously is simply mixing comfort with taste.</b></span><br />
I guess that explains why you<i> </i>can't really buy it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But knowing that just might make you a better shopper. After lots of thought and fun research on this theory, I narrowed down looking like a million bucks to 5 Keys:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><u>5 Essential Keys to Making Your Closet </u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><u>Look Like a Million Bucks:</u></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Wear well-fitting clothes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wear quality, well-made clothing. Get it altered to fit you perfectly. Fit is everything.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Never Show Effort</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;">Anything that looks hard to wear or time consuming probably is. </span><span style="text-align: left;">This includes makeup. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Effort is the baine of luxury!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Be Comfortable Always</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;">Why shouldn't you? And when you're uncomfortable, it shows! And makes others around feel uncomfortable for you. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Comfort is luxury.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">Never wear anything that makes you feel otherwise.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Avoid Unecessary Layering</span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Layers can easily look bulky and messy. And that is burdensome. Avoid wearing more than 3 articles of clothing at a time. Dress in the spirit of how you'd look stepping off a yacht.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5. Dress Timeless</span> </div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your outfit shouldn't have more than one trendy item. A timeless style sets you apart from the trend chasers and makes you look self-possessed and confident.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dressing and feeling like luxury is one of my goals for this year. I just don't believe that luxury and leisure is for the weekend or worse, a couple times a year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't take much time off last year. I did close out the first year of my business in 2017 so that would explain my lack of free time. But when I did go on vacation, I was miserable the entire time. Who wants to go on vacation only to feel stressed with work-separation anxiety?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You gotta learn to be leisure in your daily life - so that it's not completely foreign and shocking when you do engage in leisure, quality time. I'm dedicating working on this for 2018. And I've started with my wardrobe. Because for me, clothing sets the tone. My wardrobe, my Tiny Closet inspires my direction and mood. And my direction is pampering! And my mood is... you guessed it, luxury.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Natural beauty is huge to me. And even though I have a secret obsession with watching crazy awesome makeup tutorials (wow, such art!) and an even more secret obsession with beauty in general (vanity, thy name is Natalie, eek!), I definitely do not wear a lot of makeup and try my best to show my most natural, sexy, beautiful self. Ok, well maybe we can skip 2017 (yeesh). But in general, for better or for worse, I take beauty very seriously. And what I've noticed is a hands-down show stopper? Not highlighter, or lash extensions or full brows - it's Sexy, bright, youthful skin. ...but I'll take those other things too please!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, without further ado, I'm going to jump right into my current routine in getting that show stopping skin/complexion and then I'll embellish on my own personal skincare experiences after.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Fact: a lot of us are not fully cleaning our skin! Giving us mysteriously dry, dull complexions. Even if my routine aint your cup of tea, these steps should at least help in the quality-control department of your own skincare routine.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Morning & Night</u></b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 1.</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With clean hands, take about a quarter-size amount of virgin coconut oil and massage it all over your face for a minute or so. At night, do this even with all your makeup on.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 2.</b></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take a fresh dry face towel and drench it in very hot water. Not luke warm or even warm - I'm saying Korean spa-grade <b>hot</b> water.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fold it in half so you have a good thermal layer and press it firmly on your face. Hold until it cools. Then drench it again in hot water and repeat on another section of your face. Do this like 4 times until all the oil is removed. At night, yes, do this even with a full face of makeup on.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Skincare has always been important to me. Mainly because of my mother. She set me on a rigorous routine at a very young age and I've been conscious of its importance ever since. Fortunately, I will say I've never had a lot of issues with maintaining good skin and a good complexion - even throughout middle school and high school. But I did notice when I moved to L.A. that my skin got pretty stinkin' nightmarish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It took years to figure out, only because I was so used to having pretty low maintenance skin. But I did finally solve the problem:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>#1. Dairy.</b> Turns out I was pretty allergic to it and didn't even know it. It gave me incessant tiny rash-like bumps all over my face. They weren't acne and no matter what I tried, they weren't going away. Until I stopped consuming dairy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>#2. Dirty, Moist Skin. </b> I found out my skin was super dirty. I just wasn't cleaning it thoroughly enough. And I was living in a very dirty, hot congested city so I was also sweating all the time. Even light sweat can cause irritation on dirty skin. My skin was dirty, sweaty and creating a lot of dead skin that wasn't getting properly exfoliated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Surprisingly it was a relatively fast turnaround to get back to a dewy bright complexion - about 2 months! And I used the above products to get me started. Most I still use daily. Others I use from time to time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I explained most of the products shown but the two I haven't talked about yet are still pretty important. Just not a necessity for daily use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dream Cream (#4)</b> is a phenomenal product and made up of mainly oils, butters and oat milk. It is for hand and body buuuut since it's made for sensitive skin, I found it's great at being a rich nighttime face cream as it's not heavy or aggressive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Peel (#6)</b> was amazing at safely removing months (yes, months) of dead skin that had accumulated from poor washing. Wowza, it literally looked like a light was shining on me after using it once. It's a 2-step daily peel that truly does what it says: exfoliates, smooths, firms and lifts. Please and thank you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I only use a pinch of the Dream Cream at night since my skin is very hydrated and naturally oily. For super cold weather, I make sure to use it as a barrier. And I only use Dr Gross Peel pads when I've been naughty and I've gone to bed with makeup on or I haven't pampered my skin in a while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there you have it, ladies, my slightly obsessive guide to sexy, luminous skin! I used to go to the spa once a week for a good scrub, steam and pampering. I stuck to it pretty well until I became busy with other important things. But I often forget that how I look has a large affect on how I feel. Perhaps you feel the same.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I plan to focus a lot more on my personal pampering time and take it more seriously. I think it will have a huge effect on my work and candidly speaking, my self esteem as well. Anyway, I'll be sharing what comes of it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">A new day, a new year, a new leaf.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a new post :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was away from the blog for a little while as the holidays approached. It's still just me running things at the shop, which I actually prefer... but like anything you put your mind and heart to, it inevitably grows. So I will be expanding my Tiny business and hopefully freeing up some of my own time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, November and December were banner months for The Tiny Closet Shop. And 2017 ended up leaving me proud with renewed excitement for the coming year. And after the extreme retail sport that is the holidays, I thought I could finally celebrate the New Year by dressing up and going out (yay!) but come 10pm, Theo was quite literally pulling me away from my swatches and design notes and begging me to go out with him like I'd promised. I thew on some Chucks, a pair of jeans and a tee, no time for makeup, and headed out. *sigh* that wasn't the plan...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And that was pretty much the theme, last year. Plans for special outings, special outfits, special moments, never going to plan.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had bought shoes (yes, the shoes you see above that I'm wearing for the first time in bed) for that evening a couple months before hand, intent on having a glamorous New Year's Eve. And even though I did have a nice time that night ringing in 2018 with my Theo and friends, I realized...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I need a <i>new</i> plan.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to get my groove back.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When was the last time I had a manicure? When was the last time I wore my hair the way I wanted? Or dressed up and taken myself out? Took a bubble bath? Or even a long shower? 2017 was a great one - I made fantastic strides forward but man, if it had a theme, it would definitely NOT have been any of the following: fun, leisure or me-time. And I accept that. Some years have a singular focus. But this year...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to feel fabulous again! On the outside! And I know I talk about feeling good on the inside and how integral it is to feeling fabulous on the outside and how it can bring out personal style and blah blah blah. Let's talk surface. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Glossy nails, brilliant lip colors, sexy shoes, short dresses, lash extensions, tight jeans, big hair - yaaasss bitch.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've exercised I've meditated, I've eaten well, I've gotten 8 hours of sleep, I've drank 6 glasses of water, I've read and mantra'd and prayed. Now I just wanna play with makeup, dress up, stunt on my husband and buy that fancy lotion I've been eyeing that has mica in it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, ok, this is still The Tiny Closet. Where everything has a place, no extra fluff and stuff and clean open space to maintain an absolutely beautiful and highly curated (by you!) closet. And I am excited take on this life-concept with fresh perspective. And share the adventure with you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am after all, a minimalist to.the.core.. But I'm going to get a little dressier, this year. A little sexier and more indulgent in the pieces that I choose to make up my seasonal capsules. Instead of using my lifestyle to influence my clothing choices completely. This year, I'm going to let the clothing I love influence my lifestyle as well. Just a bit. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Still sticking with 15-20 pieces per season, let's turn it up a notch and get dreamier with our clothing! Less pedestrian, more opulence! Less utility, more extravagance! The Tiny way :)</span></div>

<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Follow along with me as I indulge in getting back to the fun, feminine, lavish side of clothing, style and maintaining a closet you love.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been waiting to reveal this!! With the weather having been like mid July for the past couple months, I postponed showcasing my Fall pieces so that I could actually wear them and figure out what kind of look I wanted to have this season. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, overnight, Fall has descended upon Los Angeles as a silvery dark cold blanket. Never mind last week, which was sunny and in the hundreds - it's Fall so get used it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These few pairs of heels have been my go-tos since August. The coppery brown sandals I wear pretty much year round because firstly, I'm in sunny, warm California and also because their color is gorgeous for Summer and Fall looks (sometimes even warmer Winter months). The other mules go well with denim, leggings, midi dresses - you name it. And they should because I got them for that reason actually - not for my wardrobe but for modeling with my clothing line. Having no intentions to make them part of my Tiny Closet, I bought them to wear for fittings and product shoots. None of them are even over $40! They looked so good though, I just started wearing them <i>to</i> the shoots and then out leisurely.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is actually a sneak preview of my new collection of basics coming up...soon. The collection is called "Standard" and these particular designs were fundamental in creating my clothing line. Anyway, I'm very excited to share these pieces with you. For now, they are part of my Fall capsule this season specifically because I am testing the fabrics for performance and look. So far I love them! And so will you. On the subject though - I've found it very helpful to always have a set of fine tees. White, heather gray and black are my set. Excellent drape, great feel, and a feminine deep neckline for a light sexy, slouchy style.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This midi skirt has been a keeper for years. Definitely medium weight kid leather (the most exquisite kind!) with a silk lining, I only take this babe out for Fall & Winter. I've noticed an article of leather does well in every seasonal capsule, whether it's pants, a skirt or a jacket. If leather aligns with your ethics, or maybe vegan leather, the look is all-season and you can have fun with colors for each capsule!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My one-shoulder knit midi dress comes in handy pretty much all year. I debuted this piece as regal Summer evening wear. But I've found it's relevant and beautiful for Fall. I plan to make this piece in a long sleeve to better fit the current season. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My orange wrap dress from Summer also does very well for Fall here. I'm thinking a scoop neck body suit underneath as an additional look for the season? Could be fun. A dress with an of-the-moment statement color or print always does well in a capsule. Always!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, I had to include my smoke black V-neck waterfall dress. It seems to be perfect for any occasion! I designed it and even I'm surprised by its capacity. This piece became quite popular after I released it's first design as a Summer tunic (below). The fabric is heavyweight so for me, it's definitely a Fall piece. Layered with tights and an overcoat or statement sweater, it could also work as a light dress for Winter.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A Summer tunic turned every-day oversize top. This long roomy tunic goes so well with my work clothes, it's almost as basic as a big white tee - I'm sure I'll bring this top with me through all of my capsules. I am also releasing it in a mulled wine color next week sooooo.... maybe that will be my new Fall favorite? It'll be nice to have options though :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love The Painter dress as it's called in my shop. But the original dress I released last Spring looked better on me. Also, I haven't had a chance to wear it much with the blistering heat. The denim is heavy weight like a stiff pair or jeans so Fall/Winter months only. It's got a great silhouette and damn sturdy! And since Fall came to us literally overnight, I'll have more opportunities to sport this daily workhorse dress.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Restyling my closet has always been a high-energy sport for me. And over the years, styling, mixing, repurposing has grown to being the forefront of fashion anyway. Mixing high end luxury clothing with clearance sale fast fashion, mixing genres, mixing textures, seasons - it's the new expression of fashion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And last week I played with an old mashup: a dress over jeans. Honestly, I feel like any (yes, any) dress can be worn over jeans but it's got to be the right jeans for the right person. And shoes are a biggie as well. Technically speaking, someone of my height (a wee 5') shouldn't play with this method. And uncharacteristically, I actually agree with this guideline... </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But not today. These jeans are my most favorite denim ever so I'll find any excuse to wear them with anything else in my closet, let alone my Fall capsule. And this wrap dress that I've named, "The Nomad" in my shop has become my new favorite piece so I also want every reason to wear it. Voila.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It got pretty chilly for a few days last week and I thought this mix was a good idea. But it was back to 96 degrees yesterday so I think I'll be mashing up quite a bit more throughout this season, at least until there's more consistent weather. For those experiencing similar weather while trying to get into the classic Autumn spirit, stay tuned. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been styling this white v-neck tunic all Summer long and now into Fall. It's an upgrade from a big white tee - in fact, it's not even jersey. It's a woven rayon with drape for days. And I love draping it with everything!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So yeah, yeah you can wear this tunic with leggings and palazzo pants - predictable but looks fabulous nonetheless. But I like to play with more atypical styles. Styles that, while still completely accessible, they're a bit off the well beaten path. This vintage (can you believe 80s is now considered vintage??!!) leather midi skirt is my fave and I'll have it for years more to come. It was the first thing I thought of pairing after designing this tunic.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I initially thought having two long oversize pieces on my small 5 foot frame would be a distraction. No one should notice your outfit before noticing you. You and your look need to be an equal pair. But when I put the two together, it balanced quite nicely. No distraction from the wearer, very me and so very comfortable.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to go silver for this style. I never wear silver, having such warm tones but for one, this chain-link cuff was a dear gift from my husband and I haven't been able to fit it in years. I tried it on randomly and boom, it fit like the day he got it for me...7 years ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Also, I've always loved these simple hammered silver earrings. Topped it off with a sky blue Larimar ring (which was featured <a href="http://www.thetinycloset.com/2016/07/summer-statements.html"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a> two Summers ago) and my minimalist heart was pleased.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There's a handful of outfits I'll never tire of and this one was just added to the list. Such a simple artful statement - and so effortless! That's why it's fun to experiment with going against the rules. I always do. Because you never know just how wrong those silly "fashion rules" are if you don't try breaking them. Wearing what you love and looking how you want to look always makes a statement anyhow.</span></div>
