My Favourite Outfits Of 2013

January 10, 2014 by suzanne carillo

Black and white gingham top five

Menswear inspired.

Blue jumpsuit top five

Onesie love.

Boho style top five

 Easy Boho

Black and white vintage dress top five

 Vintage gingham.

Puple sweater top five

 French chic.

Top five blue skirt

 Sexy secretary (with pug accessory).

Top five long skirt

 Updated vintage.

Top five brown belt

 Cool consignment belt.

Top five green vintage dress

 Classic vintage.

Black gold sequin top five

 Go-go girl.

Top five maxi dress

 Easy peezy maxi style.

Black tulle skirt top five

 Tulle & jean.

Orange gold vintage dress top five

 1960's style.

Fit and flare dress top five

Fit and flare floral. (say that 6 times fast)

Top five frenchie sweater

 Artsy fartsy.

 I'm trying to decide what this says about me and my style. If I were to write myself a personal ad based on my style sense it would read:

Vintage hoarding quirky artist. Loves dogs and hats. Attracted to one-of-a-kind gems, Old Hollywood glam, sophisticated hippies and anything French. Gender bending A-okay. 

 I am proud to say that 11 of these outfits have something either vintage, or purchased at a thrift, consignment store or estate sale. 

I am very keen on continuing to focus on one-of-a-kind second hand pieces for 2014. They give me the most joy when I wear them and often have their own story to tell. How I would love to know the history behind my vintage pieces, who wore them for what occasion. When I put these pieces on I feel like I am wearing more than clothes, I'm wearing memories. 

So do you agree with my choices? Which is your favourite?

 

I will be back next week with my Friday's Top Five.

Loss changes you. Complicated loss destroys you. I Loss changes you. Complicated loss destroys you. It strips away every part of your being. You become a hollowed out shell, walking around in a world that is devoid of meaning. There is no ground beneath your feet. ⁣

"Life has its own timing. It listens when you are tired and waits while you are healing. It opens doors only when you are strong enough to walk through them softly. You are not late. You are not forgotten. You are becoming. So ease your shoulders, release the hurry, and breathe out what no longer belongs to you. What is yours will find you when you are ready to receive it." - R. M. Drake

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. ⁣
