The Tiny Closet

Swing coats have always been so classic to me.  I personally think they're timeless and if I was 5'10, my Tiny Closet would have an entire collection of them!  But I'm not.  

And swing coats make me look juvenile because I am pint size... and also because they're just normally seen on little girls and dolls.

Still, when layered casually (and not worn with a Sunday school dress), a swing coat really does have a classic, confident femininity for any age.

My hair was completely picked brushed out in this post.  I brushed it all out in order to trim it myself but I didn't have time to re-wash it and activate the curls.  

First time my hair has been brushed out like this before.  It was so pillowy and shapeable, ha!  I think I might do it more often.  

With this classic, casual layering, a cute navy swing coat that's verging on dressy and "doll-like" becomes a natural counterpart and a more feminine version of the trench.  I dig it.

Have a splendid weekend!

I'm excited to show you my new sewing projects come Monday!

I have been waiting to wear this coat again.  I was a vintage-shopping maniac over the Summer and one of my stellar finds was this coat.  I debuted it first on my birthday.  It was my special day so I had to wear my new favorite vintage find, of course.  But as it was nearly June, it wasn't really the time for wool.  But now - Now is quite the time.  

Hit it!

Needing a pick me up Saturday night, I finally got rid of the remaining wedding polish and got back to my usual mani habit.  Purple and yellow are always my go-to.  This time I got frosty with it.  I will update this post as soon as I find out what color I'm actually wearing... Way to drop the ball, I know.

I found this awesome cage ring over the weekend while fluttering through H&M.  I've pretty much always bought my jewelry from Forever21 or H&M.  I'm slowly evolving out of my accessories complex (being the minimalist that I am) but for years, I just never fancied little things clinging to me so I've never been interested in paying more than $15 for rings and bracelets and the like.  But with the fashion jewelry scene really becoming amazingly imaginative and cool, I can't deny issues.  I am starting to plan some investments in various pieces.  Can't wait to share that!
