I just got rid of over one third of my wardrobe.
Eek!!
And I'm just getting started...
With my increasing schedule and an awesome venture I've been taking on, my plate is full y'all. With no time or space for all the "extras" these days, I've taken to trimming up my life to make room for the stuff that really matters.
This blog began with the sole focus of making the most out of what you have. And after practicing this for a few years, I realize the most I had is now too much! After creating a plethora of options, well... I don't need so many options anymore. I started with around 35 pieces and have around the same today but as I continue on with this blog, my discussion is naturally evolving into the subject of minimalism. Now, I suppose that's a different subject all together - but is it? The Tiny Closet is all about knowing your life and knowing it well. Minimalism is same. And once you know your life well, it's the process of making it extremely easy and streamlined to live it everyday.
I finally had to come to terms with the way I live mine:
I don't wear heels
I live in stretch jersey
Jeans are my go-to
I can wear jumpsuits all year long
and...
I'll take a great fitting tee over a leather jacket any day
I know that doesn't sound like the most glamorous nor the dreamiest of wardrobes but my dream is that someday soon, my entire closet will be able to be hung on a five foot clothing rack where I can just pick an amazing piece and go - and more importantly, it will mostly be made up of my own designs.

Lots of planning (blah), sketching (eh) aaaand fabric shopping (yay!!). But here, I'm wearing MM6, a jersey dress with a connecting layered top with an open tied back. I adore.
So I'm currently designing and sewing myself a new wardrobe. Of course, I'll share with you along the way, each piece that I add to The Tiny Closet. And from time to time, I will even be selling a piece or two! So, stay tuned to my usual postings each week for moooooorrrre!
And I hope you'll follow along with me on this slightly new path of making a personalized minimalist closet. Maybe a collection of clothing, perhaps? The Tiny Closet Collection :)
See ya Monday!
