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.

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
-Year Two
-Party in the Valley
-Big 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!!
That’s my mom’s old tee, which she bought at the Symposium on Humanity in 1979 and says “God Bless Detroit.” (Check out this vintage sketch of it, shoo.) The skirt I bought on modcloth.com (and it’s no secret that I literally wear it/draw it all the time). Who doesn’t recognize those wedges I also hardly ever take off? (Really, why do I own any other shoes? Ha.) And dad’s old backpack – loved so much it’s starting to tear. (Tear. 
.) And, my God, the Ray Bans.
