My Birthday Suit – How I Wear A Jumpsuit Over 40

May 21, 2015 by suzanne carillo

Well kind of.

 

How To Wear A Jumpsuit Over 40

 

Jumpsuit     Hat     Necklace     Handbag     Shoes

 

This jumpsuit is what I bought for myself as an early birthday gift. Don’t let it fool you here. It doesn’t photograph well. It looks amazing in real life, and feels like I’m wearing PJs.

I also bought a long denim jacket that looked great with it which they don’t have on their website. Has anyone else noticed that you can go into Anthro and not find anything that is on their website? It is like a whole different store. One set of inventory online, another in store. I suppose that is to make people get out and go into their stores more often.

I’m still trying to decide if I will keep the denim jacket or not. Both pieces were full price and I hate paying full price for anything.  I couldn’t wait for my 15% off birthday coupon to show up in the mail. I’m hoping one of these goes on sale or I get my coupons so I can go back and get a price adjustment. Yes I’m cheap smart like that.

Is choosing to wear a jumpsuit “lazy style”?

It is just one piece of clothing. Doesn’t take a whole lot of brain power.

Maybe that is why I’ve become obsessed with them lately. I also bought a black one that I’ve been thinking of since this.

Here is my other favourite blue jumpsuit and my bold patterned jumpsuit from Anthro. Both have been stand out pieces in my wardrobe. I’m hoping these two new ones will live up to their predecessors.

Do you own a jumpsuit? Why or why not?

How To Wear A Maxi Dress Like Angelina Jolie

May 20, 2015 by suzanne carillo

How to wear a maxi dress like Angelia Jolie.

how to pose like angelina jolie

Well kind of.

More like how to pose like Angelina Jolie.

Remember this?

Angelina Jolie's Leg pose

Don’t look too closely. There isn’t much of a any resemblance other than the leg.  And mine is much thicker than hers.

I obviously didn’t practise enough, a whole lot more leg should be showing.

Ah well.

My hair is blowing in the wind…that’s gotta count for something.

I pay big bucks for a squirrel to sit on the fence and wave a piece of cardboard to get that effect.

maxi dress style for women over 40

I picked up this dress at the famous warehouse sale. It is as comfortable as a toga. Remember toga parties?

how to wear a maxi dress when you are over 40

I was dressed up to wear this to a birthday party but then changed at the last minute into my 1960’s orange gown as I wanted to really make a statement.

how to wear a maxi dress when you are short

This maxi dress is a little big on me, but I don’t mind. I feel like I’m draped in liquid gold. The fabric is an amazing olive/gold iridescent colour that catches the light in the folds like the night waves catch the light of the moon.

Dress – Nordstrom’s (sim and really quite stunning), Necklace -super old (sim), Clutch – Anthropologie (sim), Shoes – thrifted (sim)

how to wear a maxi dress when you are petite

I only wish the dress were an inch shorter, then I could wear it with flats. There is trim on the bottom so I won’t be able to take it up.

No worries. I think most Grecian Goddesses are carried atop four well oiled buff boy’s shoulders perched atop a soft purple velvet chaise lounge while eating vodka infused grapes and petting a fluffy pug.

Do certain garments make you envision yourself differently?
