Rules of the Game:
1. Sport high waisted skirts (in linen and cotton) with matching bras peeking out under tanks.
2. Wear a hat.
3. Always keep a swimsuit in your backpack.
It’s really, really summer. In breathable fabrics, silhouettes that define my waist and show off the figure are the only way to go.
On a hot day of werkin’ it out at the studio, I wore a Forever 21 cotton tank tied at the waist, a cotton underwire bra from Victoria’s Secret, a Free People skirt picked up second hand at Secondi, a baseball cap, my Ray Ban Av’s, my dad’s old back pack, and some flip flops.
Oh, and the background pattern is inspired by a new bikini (bought on sale) from J. Crew.

Just as pertinent as it was last year.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!
The trench featured here is my always-right, always-perfect number from London Fog.
Craving other how-to’s? Here’s how to wear a jean jacket, how to wear a scarf, how to wear a button up, how to wear jeans, or how to wear lipstick.
On Wednesday, I had the privilege of attending the opening reception of the Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. PLEASE. Do yourself a favor and get to Washington DC to see this. Run. Do not walk.
I was so busy getting lost in heady Belle Epoque visions, unbelievable “collabs” between Picasso and Matisse and Stravinsky and Chanel and and and… that I had hardly any time to study every sketch, painting, and costume.
I’ll be returning at least twenty more times.
Drawing inspiration from the evening’s theme, I wore a mash-up of textures and colors in my go-to ballerina silhouette: a J.Crew sequined shirt, a Mint skirt, MVP Xhileration for Target wedges, plus a trenchcoat and a little polka dot scarf for the rain (not pictured).

Sometimes it’s hard to express how much My Closet in Sketches means to me without sounding redundant. There are so many tangible ways that this website has affected my life, but what’s more important to me – and what I find difficult to convey over the internets – is what it has done to my future, my past, my confidence, my soul, etc.
The creative center in me that burns with a desire to make something, all the time, is the same place that is stoked with joy every time a reader shares how I have inspired them. My goal is that My Closet in Sketches will always remain a place of imaginative freedom, of gettin’ down and dirty and doin’ shit just because something inside compelled me there.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here.
