The Tiny Closet

A few of you wanted to know what I wear to the gym.  Frankly, I just throw on any old thing.  I'll spend a fortune on good running shoes because I mainly do cardio but looking cute while exercising is just too expensive!  The reason why?  Work out wear is the one genre of clothing I can't wear anywhere else but the gym.  And you know me, my wardrobe cannot be limited.  

It really does have to fit my whole life - hence why my closet is Tiny.

So when Diana Mitchell, owner of DDCC Activewear told me about her chic active clothing line for women, one look at her upcoming 

Spring collection got me to jump on board in supporting (and wearing) her cute designs. 

I was so excited when she sent me this ash gray and white scoop neck hoodie - I've actually been wearing it everyday.  Grocery shopping, coffee runs, fabric runs - really all of my errands and activities have been a bit cuter and cozier with this little fitted hoodie.  The scoop neck makes it wearable outside the gym and not so "sporty" looking and the long torso keeps my shape smooth looking (and gives my straighter build more of an hourglass look).  Aaaaand with my unique measurements on the waist and hips, I am adoring the fit!

Inspired by Diana's mission to support other women in living balanced, happy lives I wanted to support her!  And help keep her making great clothes for being active in and out of the gym.

Aren't these pieces sexy?  Check out the rest of her new line on her Kickstarter now!

Monochrome.... I have a tendency to do this if I'm not paying attention while dressing.  I don't know what it is but, I automatically choose the same colors subconsciously when putting things together (specifically when in a hurry) and it comes out kind of amusing.  

This four-shades-of-grey number was what I came up with yesterday morning when nothing but a pale blanket of clouds covered the sky and I had no good plans.  Ah, wait!  I totally know what it is now, I realize I tend to go monochrome when I'm bored or uninspired - yes, that's it.  

But that's the bad kind of monochrome.  That's the inevitable end result of dressing while bored.  What's the good kind?  I guess I'll have to show you this all again later.  I can't let this be my only say on monochrome because when deliberate, it can be dramatic and regal!  It can be posh and eccentric.  I'll have to work on this and return here with a better example of monochrome.  

A better example than this:

sweater: All Saints Mens / top: Tiny Closet Collection / pants: Zara / wedges: Castaner / necklace: thrifted

top: Asos / skirt: T by Alexander Wang / sandals: Nine West / sunnies: RayBand Wayfarers / bag: Rebecca Minkoff / necklace: Heavenly Couture
