Springing Forward

Dusk is sexy.

So is dressing for it.


With my evenings being deliciously drawn out, the sunsets seem longer and I've been loving it.  It's been a warm few days so before diving into shorts and minis, I am warming up my hibernating body with a scant duo of a lace bra and draping tank first.  


I also thought I'd give my curls a break from the heat tools for a few days.  Rocking my mama wash-and-go fro is always so simple and fun.  It's free and wild and reminds me of Summer and long nights...

But on to my boyfriend denim, I've worn these.with.everything.  My Tiny Closet and I have had a ball with this one amazing article of clothing.  

"How do I love dressing thee, AllSaints Men jeans?  
Let me count the ways...."










So far, 8 very eclectic ways :)  I don't need a lot of denim in my life.  Just the right denim I suppose.  Such is the Tiny mantra... but you probably already know that :)

It's All In The Jacket

With Winter in full swing (as much as it can be, here in Southern Cal) I reunited with my fancy for jackets during a shopping trip to The Wasteland.


I definitely fell out of touch last year with the "jacket accessory" as I was just so caught up with, well not wearing a lot of clothing.  I've acclimated myself to the constant high temperatures here (at an alarming rate actually), but the recent nippy/freezing weather has had me searching for something chic, warm and layer-able.  

Having a blast with my new letterman jacket the other day, I also found another gem: this silk, batwing, muted dark purple jacket with zipper detailing! 
*sigh*

It's simply perfect, yes?

jacket: Zara / tank: FIDM / necklaces: thrift / harem pants: American Apparel / heels: Deisel




Putting together some jersey-stretch basics (harem pants and an oversize racerback tank top), I threw on this drapey jacket and glossy heels.  Heels will always upgrade a casual look, of course but this jacket really gave the style a more finite direction in my personal style.  My casual basics instantly turned into a chic fashion-forward look just with one piece!

Theo and I took a spontaneous trip to Seattle yesterday!  I'll be enjoying friends and family for the next week and excited to share photos of being back in our hometown.  

Have a great weekend and I'll see ya back on Monday!

Changes

For one, I will be in technicolor.  Like all the time.   
Not just when I take a vacation to the tropics.  

Secondly, I will have to shave my legs.  Like all the time.   
Not just for funerals and picnics in the Summer time.

Ladies and gentleman...  
I am now a permanent resident of the state of California!  Los Angeles to be exact.

And it's been a while, huh?  Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year, the same president and now I'm back!  Are you as excited as I am?  No?  Well, let me just show you this new ensemble before you go:

After a few weeks of being in this Golden State, I finally put on a pair of shorts (!) only to wear them on the one day it was cloudy and cold.  No matter!  I chose a pair of wintry shorts (does that exist?), black and leather :)  And get this, they've been in my Tiny Closet for almost 5 years.  And they're still perfect for the inevitable occasion.
And since I've been sweating like a basketball player these days, I've been living in tank tops.  Not necessarily because it's literally 40 degrees hotter here than the state I left but because I'm slaving away in a constant state of unpackingAfter this post, my complaining about the sun and heat will be complete, I promise.

So I decided to layer a couple.  To tie in the somewhat dressy leather with my kick-around tanks, I threw on a simple glitzy necklace.  And since I wasn't meeting the Queen of England, I skipped the earrings.  All these changes - it's best to go comfy, casual and simple! when one is feeling spastic.
gray tank: FIDM Selvage / black tank: H&M / shorts: Forever21 / booties: Buffalo Exchange / necklace: Swarovski
 
And like TC style, I've worn most of this before.  Take a look!

Soooo, as we break down the boxes one by one, and my heels stand tall and organized, I am slowly making a home for myself.  My new Tiny Closet, while different and unfamiliar still holds all the cool, quirky, creative ensembles I've worn before and will wear again but in newer, cooler, different ways.   
Visit me tomorrow and see!
 
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
