Accessorizing My Tiny Style

Keep it simple is always my mantra when putting outfits together.  I even prefer simple pieces.

Like these three pieces:

top: Tiny Closet Collection / pants: Zara / heels: Santee Alley 

And these new heels definitely align with my need for less-is-more.  Aint they fresh?




 That all being said... since I insist on downplaying, simplifying, "chic-ing" my wardrobe style, I have never underestimated the power of healthy hair and a bright face to enhance my style.  I know this is old, old news that we've all heard from our mothers and grandmothers but I've been putting some time into vamping up my hair and makeup game lately.  To accessorize the less-is-more simplicity of my outfits.

Yes, yes my makeup and hair are still.simple. but I made a few tweaks - one being lashes.  I always thought fake lashes were wonderful for a date, an event, something special.  But I recently realized for me, they're a fabulous accessory.  I was amazed.  While experimenting with wardrobe styling, I was surprised to see that wearing fake lashes actually enhance my clothing - not just my face.




Also, I've upgraded my hair game big time!  As I've been mentioning recently, I got a helmet dryer.  I no longer use a blow dryer to dry my wash and go - too brutal for my length.  Sooooo in comes the helmet dryer.  And what a frickin change it has made!!!!!  It took some time to understand and master its use but my curls have never been so healthy and defined.  I admit, my natural hair has always had a presence that I've honestly just accepted and ignored but now it's become a great accessory that, again, enhances my Tiny wardrobe.


Simple can a lot of times just be simple, casual, maybe even boring or drab.  Nobody wants that.  

What makes simple chic is the natural details.  

So since I don't care too much for jewelry all the time, I love that I can still maintain my fresh, femme Tiny style with things I already have.  

More on beauty and my new hair routine later this week :)

Down Vest

Around this time every Fall, feather down puffer vests start popping up.  

I hate them.

I admit, I live in the mecca of the Northwest so I understand the utilitarian purpose of this feather down puffer vest.  And yes, probably every designer since the 80s has redesigned the down vest times over but from North Face to Patagonia to Michael Kors to Comme de Garcons,

I hate them.

So yesterday, I decided to wear my feather down vest.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?  
But psst, mine's better :)

vest: handmade (unknown) / scarf: vintage / denim: Zara / top: Zara / boots: Kenneth Cole

So, okay okay, my vest is more fitting for a candle lit evening rather than catching the express bus for work buuuut it has what the other vests don't and that's style.  
It's fun wearing things out of context.

I found this handmade vest of black boas at a boutique/stall during an indie fashion convention.  And with no tags, I have completely forgotten the designer but when I bought it, I knew it was going to be one of those Tiny Closet pieces I'd own simply as a luxury and where would I wear it?  Who knows?  I'm beginning to think I can actually wear this thing everywhere.



So it may not be warmer, more durable or water resistant but it's preeeeetier.

Lolsies!
