The Tiny Closet

For Spring and Summer, I've been searching high and low for a few rompers to romp around in for the next 6 months...  My one and only lil altered vintage romper has been wearing down to the seams for the past 2 years so I thought my Tiny Closet was due for a bit of a refresh.  

It's been surprisingly hard to find a romper.  Or maybe I'm just surprisingly picky about rompers.  I suppose I shouldn't take it so seriously, I mean it's Spring and Summer wear - the easiest fashion of the year.  But since I'm showing a lot of skin, I need something that's well-fit and flattering.

And I did manage to spy one oh-so-cute romper while passing through Santee Alley with a bestie who was in town.  After trying it on, I think we made a good call.

Also, last weekend while romping it up, I got a haircut.  I've been yearning for a chic, tidy bob for ages but never thought it was possible because of my natural hair texture.  However, with my new hair routine of sporting more defined curls, I realized I can easily wear a curly bob!  So, before meeting my dad for brunch on Saturday, I got the scissors and my husband helped me cut a nice cropped wedge.  Ah, a fresh new S/S cut!


Here's to a fabulous beginning to the week!  
Hope you're having a great Monday :)   Check out some of the other rompers on my personal favorites list:

While I've been taking a turn for the worse (I do tend to get dramatic about these sort of things...) the weather has seemed to be taking a turn for the better.  The sun has been shining without a cloud in the sky for the past couple days so Thursday, I decided to go out for second and enjoy it.

I went to a local market to do some craving-driven shopping.  You know, the essentials:  polenta, coconut water, Justin's organic peanut butter cups and almond milk.  Yeah.

I was pretty layered as I didn't know just how warm it was outside.  Nonetheless, I just wanted to be comfortable with no fuss.  As you probably have noticed, I've been digging mens shirts lately and I've been wearing them nonstop.  Yesterday was no exception.  This one I'm wearing is from Zara Man and it's got a much narrower torso.
If you're looking for a more "fitted" mens shirt, Zara Man caters to smaller sizes.

I love this light weight wool jumper!!!  I wore it here as well with heels.  I learned fast that its open design is hospitable to a lot of different combinations and pairings...
Like denim and an oversize sweater.

I wore the tap shoes to lighten the layers.  And my mood :)

Hope you enjoyed the week!  

See ya back here on Monday!

Peaked by my last scarf play, I decided to go through my magic bag [of scarves] and see what else I could do with some of the scarves I haven't been wearing...

A few years ago, a friend gave me a beautiful, hand painted scarf/sarong from Hawaii.  I LOVED it buuuut I had no idea what I would do with it.  The brilliant yellow and frosty pink painted flowers... I wasn't sure where it fit.  Until now that is.

 Thankfully, this scarf is huge so it covered all necessary areas to play the part of a dress that evening.  And while I don't find myself in halters much, I did enjoy showing off the plunging neckline I created with wrapping the scarf.  The yellow goes rather well with my coloring so I'm excited to wear it around my neck come Fall.

The weather was absolutely perfect on Monday and Theo and I loved walking up and down Alki Beach.  A perfect reprieve from a stressful day at work as everyone is now rushing around tying up loose ends before our awards show and industry showcase in Vegas.  I am a last-minute packer and even though I have quite a knack for it, I have never needed so many dresses and shoes for a trip before now.  Vegas for 8 days...yikes!  Talk about overkill.  But I can't wait to wear a couple new dresses I bought just for the occasion aaaand - I'm bringing the camera along to share the experience!
