I Have A New Bathtub!

July 6, 2015 by suzanne carillo

Yeah…that has nothing to do with what I’m wearing…but I’m so darn excited about it!

If you are following me on Instagram I will probably be posting photos later today of me lounging in my new tub.  Yes…there are no walls around it still…but you will be able to see just how happy I am.

How to wear white jeans for summer over 40 style. Cityscape Anthropologie peplum top.

Since we moved into this house 10 years ago I’ve been making do with what I call a “baby bath”.  Really it is just a normal bathtub, but by today’s modern spa bathroom standards I now consider it shallow. It was never comfortable to soak in and I can count the number of times I’ve taken a bath in this house on one hand.

I just saw the tub installed!  The workers are still here but as soon as I saw it I wanted to jump in to try it out.

Bliss!

I’m going to be able to have baths where more than my legs and bum are covered in water!

It’s the little things folks.

Shoes – Miss Mooz (I adore these ones), Top – Anthropologie, Clutch – Danier (this one is very chic), White Jeans – Marshalls (sim), Necklace – handmade (sim)

This top is the last of birthday gifts from Anthropologie. It was the bold intricate pattern that looks like it was ripped straight out of someone’s sketch book that I fell in love with.

This is the Polyvore set that I created to sell myself this top. I like to sell myself stuff I don’t need, because you know, one can never have enough advertising in their lives.

If you want to see more outfits of me wearing these same jeans;

BADASS white jeans, 

white jeans with a vest and chambray shirt,

white jeans and a floral top,

white jeans and denim blazer, 

white jeans, peach and grey wicked Polyvore set 

What is one of the little things that gets you excited?

Simple Jumpsuit Styled 3 Ways

July 2, 2015 by suzanne carillo

how to style a jumpsuit over 40 style
Jumpsuit – this is the original one I wanted on sale, Shoes – Marshalls, exact same on sale, Necklace – handmade, you can buy this one in my Etsy Store

Do you remember this Polyvore set I created?

I sold myself on the absolute necessity for a simple black jumpsuit in my wardrobe. Curse you Polyvore!

This black jumpsuit is made out of stretch polyester and weighs quite a bit.  A cotton jersey would have been a much better choice for the fabric.  Beggars and non-sewers can’t be choosers though so I bought it anyhow (on sale).

I altered this jumpsuit by taking it in drastically on the top and then ruching the shoulders a bit to open up the neckline.

You can see in these shots the first time I wore it and styled it with the brown how the neckline was too closed for my tastes.  It made me look shorter.

Finally I styled it like this…

I think we have a winner.

It can only be warn on cooler days though and when I don’t need to move too fast, otherwise this kimono catches on everything within a three foot radius.

What do you think about the idea of a black jumpsuit? Could you see yourself wearing one?

In my recent hot yoga the instructor read out loud while we transitioned through poses, ⁣

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. It's a reminder of what it means to face resistance and keep moving. Like an airplane meeting headwinds, we often find our strength not in smooth skies but in turbulent ones. Headwinds build lift. They give the wings something to push against. In the same way, strength through resistance is born in those moments when everything feels uphill. It’s in these moments that quiet courage grows, even when it doesn’t feel heroic. Struggles don’t always mean we’re failing. They may mean we’re in the very place where transformation begins. The wind that pushes against you now might be the wind that teaches you how to soar. ⁣

Hot yoga and this teacher in particular has been a saviour for me. The meditative lessons on overcoming challenges in life have made me weep openly while on my mat but they have also helped loosen the trauma trapped deep inside the tissues of my body. ⁣
