Carol

Carol has a tendancy to second guess her outfits.  We remind her that she shouldn’t, and that the reason we photograph her is because she is Carol and that she dresses in a way that Carol likes…

“I used to be able to afford more of the designer labels, but I have to be more careful now.  That said I still invest in the things that are really ‘me’, like this backpack which is Alexander Wang.  I loved it so much when I saw it.  It was 50% off, but it was still a lot of money, so I went away and talked to my daughter about it.  When we went back the next day it was 75% off, so I didn’t hesitate.  It was meant to be mine.  I think it’s important to invest in some things that define your style. The crop top is by designed Jason Lingard and I bought it in Nelson from Palm.  I love a bit of ‘biker’, and a bit of rebel. Many other things I own are from Glassons, or second-hand so it’s not all designer.   My jacket is fourteen years old or more and Nom*D, bought from Cooper & Rouge which is no longer.  Pieces like this last for ever”.
