What Are Your Clothes Telling You?

May 4, 2012 by suzanne carillo

Today my clothes told me to forget about responsibilities.

Shelter looking away

They said just close your eyes, point on a map and take the next train that goes there.

Yellow line

Train tracks looking away

No schedules, no plans, no baggage.

No standing

Train tracks looking forward

Just an open mind and a willing spirit.

  Train tracks

Standing on line

And comfortable shoes. 

I think I need to listen to my clothes more often.

I’m a size 2 with thin thighs and a small bust

May 3, 2012 by suzanne carillo

 I'd like to say I'm always "on the money" knowing what will work in my wardrobe but sometimes I lie to myself when shopping and I think that; 

a) I live the life of a movie star where 5 inch heels are something I wear daily
b) I am a size 2 with thin thighs and a small bust
c) I believe I'm the same age as Selena Gomez

Those are the times that I inevitably buy something that doesn't make one bit of sense for me, my life or my closet. That's when I'm living the "Suzanne fantasy wardrobe life". Returns are a big part of that life.

Have you ever made an impulse buy that you regret? 

When I bought these Ferragamo vintage shoes & vintage clutch recently I only guessed how well they would work with the rest of my wardrobe. I'm delighted I'm able to combine them with loads of different items I already had in my wardrobe. I'm breathing a sigh of relief knowing I made a couple of really smart purchases.

We walked over to this little park to take these photos  and took Fiona for a walk at the same time.  I threw on my boots with the skirt for the walk. It's not bad with the boots. What do you think?
