Details

 Today, I paired my trusty harem pants with Theo's chambray.  And you know, when it comes to clothing, once I get my top and bottoms on, that's my box, people!  I'm done and ready to head out.  I'm a conceptual thinker as well as a minimalist soooo honing in to the details doesn't come naturally.  Though I believe simplicity is the height of sophistication, details are just so damn fun and
I wanna play too!

My Tiny Closet and I are all about evolving so I decided to step out of the box today and dip my toes into something new... 
Detail
Where I would normally wear nude polish to blend and lengthen my fingers, my lemon yellow nails now act as great accessories to make my chambray and harems pop!
Also, these bangles have now made their 3rd cameo and I'm certainly not through with them.  They give more meaning to my ensembles and since my clothing choices are so simple, these bangles give me oomph without being bulky or unnecessary (in spite of their size).   Plus, they add to the overall esthetic of my shiny wooden necklace, which has also become a go to. 

Last but not least (and do I even have to say it)?  The neutral colors of these items go with everything (economically, this is thrilling to me).  Items that are able to be paired with everything in one's closet is like a Tiny Closet commandment so...end of discussion!

New Necklace

Wood carving is a huge source of income all over the Philippines.  Specifically hand carved furnishings.  So it's not surprising the plethora of gorgeous wooden jewelry that stems from this popular art.  I have a huge fear of commitment when it comes to owning jewelry.  Oh it's beautiful dangling on that velvet display but then I put it on and its too heavy or the metal is too cold or the design is too bulky, wah wah wah.... 

Have you heard anyone say that?  "I like this necklace but the metal is too cold!"  
Oy.

So this wooden statement piece is a wonderful compromise to comfort.  Not to mention, 
I LOOOVE IT!

Oh and it goes great with these harem pants too.  

I got them in size XL so that I could pull them up to to make a one piece.  Sometimes its pretty cool being a shorty :)

Pardon the bare feet.  It's not always easy to wear shoes here.  Even in restaurants like this one.  I was even at the gym and people were running barefoot on the treadmills!  My ensembles would look so much better with a great pair of shoes but oh well for now.  

This Indian restaurant was overlooking the sandy beach and full of lemony bright pillows and low hanging lanterns.  As the sun set, Theo and I ate some Samosas and spooned.  Heehee!

Great Year, Fabulous Night


Instead of buying a glitzy little party dress for my new years eve celebration with some of my longest known friends, I decided to instead, mix some various evening pieces from my Tiny Closet.  Perhaps you've seen this below pairing before?  My leather paneled leggings and sheer dress (also seen here).  The sweater wrap I made myself!  Got the directions from DIY trailblazer, Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This.

I also took the opportunity to finally debut a pair of party sandals I've had for 2 years and have never worn (shameful I know but this is why I started The Tiny Closet - to help cure LSS - lustful shopping syndrome and to stop the wasteful hoarding of unworn clothing).
My girlfriend, Anna was also wearing a pair of very cute leather booties from her Tiny Closet.  Unlike my ultra clubby shoes that I love (Jimmy Choo for H&M) but avoid wearing at all costs, Anna's comfy booties go with almost everything during all parts of the year.  Shame on me for not getting the name of those - rookie mistake - I'll call her and update this post later...

Another one of my girlfriends, Ashley hosted a fabulous party at her loft - champagne, sparklers, even LMFAO was there!  Just kidding.  But they might as well have been it was such a great time :)

The necklace above is gorgeous.  And I got a couple more photos of the party attire:
This ruffled skirt is gorgeous.  Perfectly paired with those high-gloss heels.  And below you will see a leopard print tank under a sheer blue striped knit top.  Who does that?  Love it!!

So that sums up my last night of 2011.  So fun... and fashionable!

I began this blog in November and already its become an addictive love in my life.  I am so thankful for all the visits, comments and compliments and I can't wait to bring my Tiny Closet into the new year.  Please follow me on Bloglovin' or subscribe by email on the homepage so I can keep you up to date!

Hope you had a great night!
