What was your favourite piece?
I think you know already which one mine was.
I keep thinking,
“Maybe I haven’t stopped growing?”
It’s true…I haven’t stopped growing. I’m just growing in the wrong direction.
Out not up.

Thanks for the offer Jodie! I need to stick with the plan of selling items! My closet is already out of control. : )

Isn’t it wild?
Marilee Gramith says
That favorite is definitely worth the time, energy, money to have shortened. You look so lovely in it!
suzanne carillo says
I’m trying to be very dedicated to selling the items I curate and believe me, it is a super difficult task when I find so many great items. The reality is that my closet cannot handle all the goodness I find.
Veronica Cooke says
Oh some lovely finds here, Suzanne. The brown maxi, hat and boots are fabulous on you! Can’t you just take the hem up?
I loved the vintage paisley blouse…too small alas!

suzanne carillo says
I could spend the time and or money to take it up but I am trying desperately to stick to the plan of why I have my vintage shop which of course is to sell the items and not hoard everything until I can no longer move in my house. ; P
Bobbi says
Everything is so great! Sadly, I’m a bit too chunky for those great wrap dresses that I will now be constantly thinking about.
Vix says
There’s some cracking finds there! I love the handmade maxi with the orange top especially.
The brown dress made for a giant looks fantastic on you. Unusual to find a long maxi, even midget me often has to take the hem down! xxx
Wendy says
Of course love the dress and especially the boots on you!
suzanne carillo says
Those boots are pretty sweet. I just wish the heels were a bit lower.
Ann says
Your favourite is my favourite too, Susanne. What a stunning maxi that is, and the sleeves are fantastic. I often find maxis which are too long (I’m a ‘midget’ like Vix), and have quite a few of them waiting to be taken in. I also love the Paisley blouse and purple skirt combo! xxx
Tiina L says
Oh don’t give up the dress you like! Just shorten it, that’s an easy fix.
suzanne carillo says
I am trying to stick to the idea of having a vintage store to sell items and not to add to my ever growing collection. The length on this dress was the perfect excuse not to keep it.
Shybiker says
WOW! I used to think you were just lucky in finding exceptional pieces but now I know it isn’t luck, it’s skill. “Luck” is what happens when a talented person dedicates serious effort to a task. Respect!
suzanne carillo says
You are right Ally. I have seriously dedicated myself to finding some excellent pieces even if that means heading out in rain, sleet or snow like I did yesterday. It is a time consuming job but one I enjoy.
Melanie says
My goodness – don’t grow up!!! Heh. I like the chocolate dress, but holy cow, that orange and blue print maxi is pretty fantastic on you. You are so good at styling all your pieces. Yes, as Shybiker says, your “luck” is mostly innate talent, SKILL, and time.
suzanne carillo says
Time is the operative word as you well know Melanie. Yesterday I forced myself to get out again and visit some new stores and was very pleasantly rewarded for my efforts. Now I’ve got loads of work!
Anna says
Beautiful finds! I’m in love with that suede blazer. <3 <3 <3

Michelle says
Oh you look fantastic in that orange with blue print skirt maxi! That and the blue/green watercolor with the suede boots are my favorite. If I were your size I’d be snatching those up.
Nancy says
I immediatly fell for the leopard wrap dress! In my size. And a very good Prize! But the shipping is the same prize…..
But I don t understand the Etsy thing. Did you buy and wore these items yourself and now selling it of don t I understand it properly. Is this your own webshop?
suzanne carillo says
I have two Etsy stores, one where I sell my cards I design and necklaces I make, Simply Creative by Suzanne Carillo and then I opened this one, Vintage By Suzanne about 5 months ago where I sell vintage clothing that I curate.
While I do model some of the items I don’t necessarily wear them. I take photos for the Etsy store so people can see what the piece looks like on someone.
Of course sometimes I do keep the pieces.
Sadly overseas shipping is hugely expensive.
denisesplanet says
Dear Suzanne, your favorite dress happens to be my favorite piece too, in the middle of these amazing eye candies that you prepared for us! I loved the boots that you are wearing with the flutter sleeve dress and I also loved the 70s handmade maxi dress and the suede blazer, together with the skirt you paired with it. All so fantastic things, I am in love with everything and I just wish I was a bit thinner, so to buy many of the pieces! Hope you have a fantastic week! Bisous!

No Fear of Fashion says
I love the handmade 1970 maxi dress with the orange top best. Only, I have a size Large… And I saw that you are selling the brown suede skirt.. what a shame. You obviously didn’t agree with my arguments to keep it.
And yes the dress you wear is ever so nice. It cannot be difficult to adjust the hem, so I figure you don’t think you will wear it a lot (I saw your reply on Tiina’s comment).
You are doing an excellent job.

You know I can’t pick a favorite. I love everything you showcase and how you put it together with other things. Do let me know if you think anything would fit me–you nailed my sizes last time I bought things from you, so I totally trust your judgment in that department. Meanwhile, keep your peepers on my blog because over the next few weeks/months I’m working through all the other fun things I’ve bought from your Etsy store! ?
