The Tiny Closet

 jacket: Muubuu / tee: James Perse / denim: AllSaints Men / booties: Santee Alley / bag: Dooney & Bourke

I have worn this graphite colored jacket with everything but I like it best with some slouchy drop-crotch denim and a plain white tee.  Preferably a tee by James Perse.... or The Tiny Closet Collection ;)

I've actually worn almost this same outfit before a couple years ago in "The Boyfriend Look" post.  Changing the look a bit with my staple black booties.

If you'd like to see this jacket worn with some other versatile ensembles from my Tiny Closet, check out these links here:

I have been starting a new venture with The Tiny Closet that I am really excited to share with you.... this week!!  So please continue to check back for the news.

It's good to be back!

After a long and sunny vacation, I returned to the great Northwest and had some trouble getting out of my Summer clothes...

One item in particular I have always favored over my other Summer dresses and jumpers: my AllSaints cotton maxi!  While emptying my suitcase, I couldn't help hanging up this one, front and center in my Tiny Closet instead of storing it away again in my seasonal trunk.  I have certainly worn this item from season to season before but I feel like I'm finally getting a good sense of its abilities for Fall and Winter.

Out for some lunch and vintage shopping, I decided to take pictures of my uncharacteristic outfit.  Very prairie-like, very Western.  

The wind was also quite dramatic that day so my outfit turned out to be a ball for the occasion :)

I decided this time, to wear the maxi as a skirt.  I folded down the scant bra top and pulled on a comfy fitted scoop neck tee by James Perse.  

I also dug out my enormous cowgirl belt and wrapped that around the skirt and top.

The shoes, I spotted them crunched in the back of a rack in a Buffalo Exchange.  While doing a feature shoot there, it was hardly about me but I quickly put them to the side for safe keeping until the shoot was over!  And pssst,

Can't wait to share the style feature later this week!!

Aren't these just the coolest though??  I thinking cowboy-meets-Jil Sander.  Perfect for the city.  Perfect for a hoedown.  What can't they do?

So!  

It's December and already the month has brought new sewing projects, style collabs and... big news!

But more on that later...

Hope your Thanksgiving was as happy and crazy as mine!  Glad to be back and posting again.  I've so missed sharing with you :)

Ah, the calm before the storm...

Next week, Theo and I will be visiting family and friends in L.A. for the Thanksgiving holiday(!!).  I am sooooooooooooooo excited to see the sun!  And play in it!  And feel it's warmth!  Wow.  Nothing but clouds and darkness for the next 9 months over here so, needless to say, this weeklong trip will be a welcome change.

Anyway, I'm starting to wind down this weekend in preparation for next week.  We took a cozy walk through the park and along the water yesterday and I found comfort again in my signature look.  You know, the signature look - the go-to outfit that's a little stylish and mostly comfortable and maybe worn too much?  

That's the one.  

Nothing but an oversize top, leggings, smoking shoe/brogue/flat and a HUGE scarf.

jacket: Muubuu / top: Asos / scarf: H&M / leggings: Zella / flats: thrifted (Trotter)

Yes, these leather smoking shoes are new :)  Never-worn, thrifted favorites and a new addition to my Tiny Closet.  I know, I know they're not something to call your mom about but they are perfect for my wardrobe and really, that's all that matters right?  

For work, errands, and casual outings, I was so happy to find another pair of handsome, glossy shoes.  

To go with my signature look!
