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.
Take an abridged tour through these memorable outfits from the last three years:
-My First Post
-Cleaver in Color
-Year One
-Havana Stripes
-Big Girl Pants

One particularly notable occurrence since my last birthday, as you know, is that I have my own studio- which has essentially banished all my pencil skirts and heels to live full-time in my closet while I live in hard working separates: classics, with a twist.
This birthday suit is made of a J. Crew madras blazer bought years and years ago (last seen here), a very very old tee from my mom that says “My Art Belongs to Dada”, a new pair of Levi’s high waisted jeans, my regular All Stars, and an updated pair of Ray Ban Aviators (I got a new mirrored blue tint, hey!).
You might want to peek at my previous birthday posts. Here is 25, and here is 24. Cheers!!
Why don’t you combine this lash tutorial with some of my other makeup how to’s? Here’s how to do the “Hi, Put Money In My Tip Jar” eye, here’s how to do A Standard Five Minute Face, and finally (start planning, summer is closer than you think) how to do a Summer Proof Face.
Pick these mascaras up at your corner drugstore, or find them online: Maybelline Volum’ Express, CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume, and Maybelline Great Lash.
PS: Don’t buy brown mascara – ever! It just ain’t worth it. Choose regular black if you’re fair, and go for the blackest black if you can handle it.

I’m currently working on some pretty significant, intense projects – so right now it feels nice to go back to the basics, when I spent every evening after work trying on clothes, making outfits, drawing my little heart out. Here’s one old favorite that originally ran over two years ago.
PS: that alligator purse is now an alligator clutch – in its old age, the handle disintegrated right off the hinges. Take care of your animals, people!

Every gal should own the perfect jean jacket – I found mine on sale at Urban Outfitters when I was a junior in high school, and I’ve never looked back.
That animal print belt is from J.Crew and was last seen here, the fuchsia Christian Dior skirt was a lucky find in grandma’s closet, the camo jacket is from the men’s department of GAP, the Rag & Bone chambray shirt was illustrated just like this here, the dress is a Liberty print from Target, and finally, that there is a black tee from American Apparel.
