Carrie, I just want to personally thank you. Almost three years ago, I was in the absolute worst place in my life. My puppy who was just a year and half passed away, my ex fiancé of four year left me by packing up my stuff into a storage unit while I was visiting my family in a different state and most of all I became manic for the first time ever later learning that I had bipolar one and ptsd. I commented on one of your videos in a very dark place mentally and you graciously sent me an email reaching out to me with complete and utter kindness. Since then I look forward to your videos and look up to you like a big sister. You have no idea the impact you make upon a strangers life. Simply adore you and appreciate you! I will never forget the sunshine you brought in my darkest moment.❤️
I am the queen of buying clothes and never wearing them. And always buying new clothes. I finally realized it was not the clothes I wanted but the body the clothes were modeled on, which is why I was never satisfied. I am currently trying to unpack my body image issues
Seeing the feathered dress, it makes me think of how a lot of times I get so excited that something looks good on me and fits correctly (because that doesn't happen a lot...) that I want to buy it despite the practicality of it. I have gotten better about that but definitely a struggle!
Carrie! I would LOVE to see you get color analysis and style analysis done on camera. I did mine about 6 months ago with House of Colour and it has literally changed my life. I feel happier, I look better and I’m buying smarter. I’d love to see your journey. It’ll also help you pick outfit pieces that fit your style personality. They even have makeup that’s perfect for the girly who likes the natural, minimal products needed type of look.
I'm a heels girlie but I'm also 4'11 so god didn't give me a choice! haha the trick is a chunky heel under 3 inches and a platform toe if it's over 2 inches! Also, I so wish we were the same size because I'd buy that long sherpa jacket form you!! My cold self would totally wear that for LA evenings and travel!!
for the feather dress, you could tuck it in jeans/pants and make it into a top! i like doing that with my bodycon dresses for when i want to wear it more casually ☺️
Hi Carrie ! The Hollywood flawless filter is actually not a true foundation but closer to an highlighter. And if your skin is on the oily side you should make sure to apply some matifying cream and base before :)
Ditto! Not a foundation. I actually use it on cheekbones, center of forehead and down the nose before applying foundation and I feel like it gives a lip from within glow.
Wow this is the first time I heard this! I hated the Hollywood flawless filter and this is probably why. I felt the same as Carrie that it was separating and made me feel so yuck about my skin when I typically like my skin! I wish I didn’t throw it out so i could’ve tried it just on the areas I want to look highlighted
To answer the primer question-you have to check the ingredients. Words ending in Cone/methicone/siloxane near the top of the list indicate it’s a silicone based product. Look for these words rather than water/aqua because that will be in both silicone and water based products (as water makes the product liquid and blendable). Hope this helps! 🫶🏼
You could make an hour long video and I would watch it, please don’t ever think that a longer video is bad. More of these would be AMAZING but I would also love to see more of the “i was influenced and I’m obsessed” stuff too. Like both ends of the spectrum if that makes sense
@@CarrieDayton no no, thank YOU! You have given me so much inspiration on my life journey. I cannot say thank you enough for sharing your life with us. ❤️
@@CarrieDaytonI your New Balance 550s shoes, Princess Carrie *tie touch and feeling your white balance 550s shoes* 👸💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️🔥❄️
I think it’d be super funny if when you did these you edited in the footage from when you bought the items and reacted to what you said when you originally bought them! Like you don’t have to wonder what you were thinking- you have it on tape 😂
This sounds crazy but do consider trying out maternity bras. For years I wore only the 2-3 bras that I could tolerate, then I got some maternity bras from Walmart and they're actually in my daily rotation. It gives me the vibe that, idk, its actually designed for women's comfort and functioning instead of like, the male gaze or something lol.
My advice: sports bras. Not the hard shell ones for running or kick boxing or other high impact activities, but the soft, flexible ones. They're usually called yoga or pilates bras or something similar. They have really cute ones, and they are BREATHABLE. No sweat accumulating anymore in my cups on a hot summer day. I have a big chest and they give me enough support while not squishing them down to a point of discomfort.
Okay, I'm going to need you to box up that brown lacy collar shirt you got at the estate sale and send it to the youtuber Kathleen Illustrated. She'd love that in her life. She needs that in her life. She'll go full on ham with it. Maybe you two could do some collab where she just happens to end up with that by the end.
GIRL TAKE THOSE BOOTS TO A SHOE COBBLER!!! I’m telling you!!! I have two pairs of vintage boots i just had a shoe cobbler stretch and it’s been perfect. I have LARGE calves. one pair took a few time to stretch enough, like I went back to try on a few times, but are just nice fitting babies now. ❤❤ I live in SLC, not the most affordable city, and it was like 60$ to stretch the two pairs! Worth it!!
YES!!!! The toe crease in the New Balances hurt like crazy! I ended up with a little bruise in that exact spot on my big toe lol. I had literally only heardd only positive things about them, I thought it was just me!
I also have ADHD and impulse shop so a new rule I set for myself was no online spending. The only exceptions are groceries and medicine. Otherwise, if I really want something, I have to physically go out and get it and that makes me weigh up if it’s worth it. It’s working so far!
Makeup girlie here: regarding primer, I honestly don’t use it and have never noticed it making a difference. I just use sunscreen/moisturizer as my primer and it works just fine! Plus being 30 something I really don’t feel like layers of product do me any favors these days 😆 💙
I love these videos! The one in particular where you talk about Doc Marten's destroying your feet was so eye-opening for me, I got a pair of platform boots and I love the way they look but having to basically wrap my feet in bandaids whenever I wanna wear them (which is like twice a year for obvious reasons lmfao) is so not worth it! You really inspired me to finally make up my mind and sell them
Girl, we all do this 😂😂. Or at least I do too! The Sherpa coat is adorable - would be a good one for travel IF you wear it and you could use it as a blanket on the plane! Marlena (makeup geek) has a great video on how to tell what primer/foundation type you have. CT flawless filter isn’t really a foundation but an enhancer - you can use it under or as a highlighter.
No judgement here and can totally relate to “what the hell was I thinking” purchases! It’s hard to part with clothing too, so love the idea of storing when on the fence with certain pieces! ❤
The Hollywood flawless filter isn’t a foundation. It’s a highlight or glowy product that should be used on specific areas of the face, and not all over. (Unless mixed in with your foundation to make it more glowy) but I love using it on a no makeup day just to the top of my cheeks, or adding a bit in to my foundation is super pretty too. It’s really lovely if you use it or targeted areas! i can see why you hated it though thinking it was a foundation and using it as one!! That wouldn’t be good haha
You could wear the coat on the plane! lol pro tip wear ur heaviest jeans, boots and jacket is wanting to bring on day of travel is not super uncomfortable. Lol
The black top you showed with the oversized collar reminds of something Kathleen from Kathleen Illustrated would style in one of her videos. I love when you do these videos by the way. I have so many purchase regrets, and it's nice to see I'm not alone ❤
Flawless filter is better used under foundation to make it more glowy! I even used it as a highlighter. Sadly it broke me out a lot but I liked it much better used like that!
I thinlk the olive green jacket is beautiful and looks great on you! I think you should keep it. The camo is trendy and thse jackets are very difficult to find. I looked for sothing similar and I could not find it.
"Where am I wearing this?" is a great question to ask yourself. And saying that there may be an event in the next year or so does not count. I have so many semi-dressy office clothes- I work as a nurse, I wear scrubs everyday 🤷♀!?
Yes. Considering your actual lifestyle is so important. I have quite a few cute summer dresses but they are not really practical for what I'm doing most of the time (housework, dog walking, lounging around,..), so I tend to wear shorts and a T-shirt most often.
My best friend has that same pair of New Balances. Lately she’s been thirsting after the Adidas that everyone has. I have a theory that once you wear the “it” shoe of the year you can become addicted to getting the new “it” shoe every year. For that reason I prefer the shoes that are less popular so I can hopefully wear them for years without feeling they’re outdated
Girl! If you want to wear heels and be comfortable, then you have to try Pashion Convertible Heels! They turn into flats when your feet hurt. I have so many and LOVE them.
I’ve been on the foundation journey, I get it!! Yes, you need to match the different bases and you have to check the ingredient list for it. It’s the first ingredient listed though that makes it easy. If your skin is dry, water based. First ingredient will be water. If your skin is oily, silicone-based. First ingredient will most likely end in the root “-cone” (dimethicon, trimethicone, etc.) Your primer, foundation, and concealer should all match bases… I’ve found personally my setting options need to match too. Where my skin is dry, if all my ingredients are water and I use a powder to set it cracks. I have to use water based setting spray
The green shoe fooled you. They looked like they should be comfortable but that's the worst when you spend a butt load of money for something that ungodly uncomfortable. I have a couple pairs of heels that I can't wear but I can't bear to declutter them.
I have a pair of Frye ankle boots with no zipper and I love them. I do. BUT if I wear the wrong kind of socks or pants with them, I practically herniate a disc in my back getting them off. Absolutely zero wiggle room. I've been known to wail in misery at work at lunch when I'm trying to put on my sneakers to go for a walk and attract concern. LOL.
I have the new balance 550s in white. I thought the same thing! I had bruises on the top of my feet. 😬I eventually just wore them enough and now they are really comfy.😊
I feel like it’s never a bad idea to have a little black dress for who knows what occasion. You could wear it to a wedding, an event, a concert. You look beautiful in it ❤
I loved this so much! I'm exactly the same way, and same as you, it's often the shoes that get me in trouble. Beautiful, expensive and trendy - and oh so very painful to wear! I've given away many pairs of shoes worn once or twice and then I said never again. That estate sale top - I cracked up! Yes, it's pretty, and I'd do the same thing. Think it's so cute and outside my box, then I get it home, and think, "exactly what was I thinking!!!". Great video - more like this one please. It made me laugh out loud! 🤣
I’m def in comfort over style mood. I have a lot of skims pieces and love them. I live in skims joggers lol. I find them super comfy and cute at the same time. I wear my Uggs with them and feel a little stylish and totally comfortable. Kim nailed the comfort in her clothes.
I think the weather thing in correlation to what we buy is so important. I mainly love warmer clothes but i live in south US its too hotttt. whats crazy is most of my summery clothes are too heavy too.
17:22 what if expensive products are like “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. They’re crap products but no one wants to admit it so the recommend it for the commission, and everyone gets suckered into buying expensive products that don’t work.
Its especially hard having a love for fashion but a lot of stuff being impractical for most of the year. (Especially when I work a lot & wear a uniform) Im like.. when am i going to wear this!!!
The uniqlo jacket is so pretty on you! But yeah, LA/AZ girlie what are you doing buying jackets like that 😂😂😂❤❤❤ since the tags are still on why don’t you try returning or at least trying to get a credit note!
I love these videos. I am guilty of buying things that are so expensive and don’t work or I never end up wearing them. So I’m with you about being more intentional in 2024.
Do you know if they do exchange because, at least the goodwill I go to, they have a 3-day exchange policy where you can exchange something you don’t like for something you do.
girl u gotta wear short shorts and a cami crop top under ur clothes, it’s a game changer for thrifting! also u might wanna check in on the exchange policy-my county’s is 7 days
I feel you on the heels. Honestly now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I discovered that I need to buy shoes that are comfortable and my style. Over several years I've built a collection of cute but comfy shows (usually Origins, Earth Origins, Dr. Scholls, Sofft, and Skechers)
someone taught me to dot the flawless filter at high points / spots you want to cover up and blend with skin tint over primer! it turns out SO gorgeous ✨
after years of buying things I didn't wear I started to make questions for myself based on the reasons I hadn't worn things. Like do I have somewhere so wear this? do i usually wear things like this or is it probably gonna be too outside the box? am i okay with this being uncomfortable? how often and i gonna really want to reach for this? does this go well with a lot of the things i already have? all those types of questions have helped me a lot in not buying things that realistically are probably not gonna work.
I had the same problem with my nb 550s and i fixed it by bending it with my hands and using the back of a pen to guide a different bending pattern so it didnt dig in. Its really hard to explain but i hope this helps. I also had problems with the tounge moving and digging in so i sewed in in place on one side which fixed it
The Hollywood flawless filter is not a foundation it’s like a mix in with your foundation to make your face look more glowy and dewy. When I use it I dot some all over my face and then dot my foundation on my face and then use a beauty blender to blend the two together and u get a nice finish on ur foundation that looks very natural
maybe get rid of things that don’t work and hold on to staples/your absolute fav pieces? (ex: like things that aren’t currently in style but will come back, or things you just haven’t worn for a while but can’t part from)
The charlotte tilbury flawless filter isn’t a foundation!! They call it a “complexion booster”. I have the elf dupe and it’s really just like a glow product. I put it sparingly under my foundation
My worst purchase is still my Dyson air wrap - I just don’t use heat on my hair like idk why I thought I would start. I now use the blow dry attachment to dry my dogs off when it’s freezing rain outside but that’s literally it.
This was literally me until about 2-3 months ago…then I just started playing around with it more and now I love it!! It’s definitely not for everyone though and it’s SO expensive! 🙃
I just - I think in my late twenties I thought I cared and then the day I turned 30 I just stopped. At least it was the 20% off during the Sephora sale
I bought the Revlon One-step Volumizer Dryer. I have thin hair and just could not get it to work. I gave it to my daughter but she doesn't use heat on her hair so I told her to give it to someone that could use it. The only saving grace was that it didn't cost as much as the Dyson.
@@jkschnik6952 these were smart, adult decisions that i didn't make. my mother wouldn't stop raving about how amazing it was after her hotel had them as the hair dryers in the rooms - i was influenced by my mom.
carrie, I started following ellyce fulmore (adhd personal finance creator) and would recommended her content to everyone who deals with impulse purchases due to adhd great video as usual
Trendy shoes ALWAYS tend to be uncomfortable. The older I get, the more comfort matters to me. $100- $200 buys me a very nice pair of well cushioned, comfortable sneakers for the gym.
Oh no, I'm so sad to hear that you're thinking of parting with that little black feather dress! You have no idea how many viewers, including myself, were over the moon when we saw you wearing it and looking absolutely stunning in it! The fit was just perfect, and it really brought out your natural beauty. It's such a classic piece that you can wear to weddings, cocktail parties, and any other special occasion you can think of. I really hope you reconsider keeping it!
Carrie, I just want to personally thank you. Almost three years ago, I was in the absolute worst place in my life. My puppy who was just a year and half passed away, my ex fiancé of four year left me by packing up my stuff into a storage unit while I was visiting my family in a different state and most of all I became manic for the first time ever later learning that I had bipolar one and ptsd. I commented on one of your videos in a very dark place mentally and you graciously sent me an email reaching out to me with complete and utter kindness. Since then I look forward to your videos and look up to you like a big sister. You have no idea the impact you make upon a strangers life. Simply adore you and appreciate you! I will never forget the sunshine you brought in my darkest moment.❤️
Oh Aubree this comment means SO much to me 🥹❤️ I am sending you the biggest hug, thank you for being here!!
This is so cute I’m tearing up!!!! Wishing you the best❤️

Thank You Carrie for being there for her when she needed someone anyone to be..🥰❤️🥰
“The collar is very alarmingly big.. in person” lol girl trust, it’s big on camera too hahahaha that one was great
I am the queen of buying clothes and never wearing them. And always buying new clothes. I finally realized it was not the clothes I wanted but the body the clothes were modeled on, which is why I was never satisfied. I am currently trying to unpack my body image issues

My whole wardrobe is full of regrets, if I was 100% honest with what I’ll wear, 90% would be removed.
Same
Same here. If only I had a time machine to go back and un-buy a bunch of things. And most of it is not really resellable ☹️
Same!
Same story here😅
lol

i think for her color season shes definitely light spring ^_^
I’m 26 and already in my “comfort over style” era and plan to remain here for the time being lol love your honesty and can definitely relate
fr 2024 is gonna be the year I stop buying and wearing uncomfortable shoes
20 and same!
Frye boots are not wide calf friendly but...
If you absolutely love them, a cobbler can add a side zipper with an elastic insert and it works!
Please keep doing more of these deinfluencing videos!! They’re really helping me as I’m challenging myself to a low buy, saving $ phase
I'm a heels girlie but I'm also 4'11 so god didn't give me a choice! haha the trick is a chunky heel under 3 inches and a platform toe if it's over 2 inches!

Hi Molly.! Hope you and Elton John are doing well.
for the feather dress, you could tuck it in jeans/pants and make it into a top! i like doing that with my bodycon dresses for when i want to wear it more casually ☺️
Or a maxi skirt
You could probably get it altered too to make it into a top if that's more your vibe!
I have add and am 100% a compulsive spender did not know other neaurodivergent people did this. thank you for sharing.

But silicone clogs pores. I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use
@@aurelijabud most primers that claim to blur pores have silicone though. nothings wrong with that as long as you cleanse at night

I almost always regret bras I buy. They feel like a good fit in the dressing room - then after wearing them for a full day I hate the fit.
Lol, legit the only way I’ve been able to find a bra that’s actually comfortable to wear for more than like 2 minutes is trial and error
OMG same 🙌😂

Absolutely zero wiggle room. I've been known to wail in misery at work at lunch when I'm trying to put on my sneakers to go for a walk and attract concern. LOL.
Don’t buy for looks, buy for the lifestyle. I’m always thinking of this.
I have the new balance 550s in white. I thought the same thing! I had bruises on the top of my feet. 😬I eventually just wore them enough and now they are really comfy.😊
I feel like it’s never a bad idea to have a little black dress for who knows what occasion. You could wear it to a wedding, an event, a concert. You look beautiful in it ❤
Try wearing little bandaids for the green heels on all the spots where it hurts. I know it’s a lot of work but it might help
Girly you will need to drop a link for that headband cause I refuse to buy one that doesn’t look exactly like yours. It’s so cute!!! 🩷
Those New Balances hurt my pinky toes so so bad, but I don’t have the heart to give them up!
I loved this so much! I'm exactly the same way, and same as you, it's often the shoes that get me in trouble. Beautiful, expensive and trendy - and oh so very painful to wear! I've given away many pairs of shoes worn once or twice and then I said never again. That estate sale top - I cracked up! Yes, it's pretty, and I'd do the same thing. Think it's so cute and outside my box, then I get it home, and think, "exactly what was I thinking!!!". Great video - more like this one please. It made me laugh out loud! 🤣
I’m def in comfort over style mood. I have a lot of skims pieces and love them. I live in skims joggers lol. I find them super comfy and cute at the same time. I wear my Uggs with them and feel a little stylish and totally comfortable. Kim nailed the comfort in her clothes.
The olive jacket is so cute on you Carrie!
I think the weather thing in correlation to what we buy is so important. I mainly love warmer clothes but i live in south US its too hotttt. whats crazy is most of my summery clothes are too heavy too.
The way I ran to watch this video. I love these kinds of videos :3
Girl i dont know what you doing but your look is serving. The makeup the hair is a vibe
I think that "Cup of Jordy" would love your fairy dress!! Do you know her?
17:22 what if expensive products are like “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. They’re crap products but no one wants to admit it so the recommend it for the commission, and everyone gets suckered into buying expensive products that don’t work.
omg i had the exact same problems with new balances! not the exact same model but the back of the shoes dug into my calves SO bad
Its especially hard having a love for fashion but a lot of stuff being impractical for most of the year. (Especially when I work a lot & wear a uniform) Im like.. when am i going to wear this!!!
The uniqlo jacket is so pretty on you! But yeah, LA/AZ girlie what are you doing buying jackets like that 😂😂😂❤❤❤ since the tags are still on why don’t you try returning or at least trying to get a credit note!
I have also literally never tried a primer that I felt like did anything at all haha
I love these videos. I am guilty of buying things that are so expensive and don’t work or I never end up wearing them. So I’m with you about being more intentional in 2024.
This is why you try on shoes before you buy them. I would not spend 150 on shoes and not even know how they fit
the ruffle collar top reminds me of a thrifted dress I wore to 80s day during my high school spirit week. I served but yeah I never wore it again!
I often end up with regrets from Good Will because it’s a “no try on, no return policy.” eventually they end up back there. 😂
Do you know if they do exchange because, at least the goodwill I go to, they have a 3-day exchange policy where you can exchange something you don’t like for something you do.
girl u gotta wear short shorts and a cami crop top under ur clothes, it’s a game changer for thrifting! also u might wanna check in on the exchange policy-my county’s is 7 days
Your prob with the new balance is my problem with the dunks. The toe box is weird on the feets. I get you, I know your literal pain.
Omg neuro spicy brain made me chuckle. Great video!
I feel you on the heels. Honestly now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I discovered that I need to buy shoes that are comfortable and my style. Over several years I've built a collection of cute but comfy shows (usually Origins, Earth Origins, Dr. Scholls, Sofft, and Skechers)
I never get tired of these de-influencing videos. Love them!
I love deinfluencing videos!! Would watch more and longer formatted ones xx
someone taught me to dot the flawless filter at high points / spots you want to cover up and blend with skin tint over primer! it turns out SO gorgeous ✨
after years of buying things I didn't wear I started to make questions for myself based on the reasons I hadn't worn things. Like do I have somewhere so wear this? do i usually wear things like this or is it probably gonna be too outside the box? am i okay with this being uncomfortable? how often and i gonna really want to reach for this? does this go well with a lot of the things i already have? all those types of questions have helped me a lot in not buying things that realistically are probably not gonna work.
Those are good questions to ask oneself. 👍
I had the same problem with my nb 550s and i fixed it by bending it with my hands and using the back of a pen to guide a different bending pattern so it didnt dig in. Its really hard to explain but i hope this helps. I also had problems with the tounge moving and digging in so i sewed in in place on one side which fixed it
The Hollywood flawless filter is not a foundation it’s like a mix in with your foundation to make your face look more glowy and dewy. When I use it I dot some all over my face and then dot my foundation on my face and then use a beauty blender to blend the two together and u get a nice finish on ur foundation that looks very natural
Thank you for this! One hing that wasn't overhyped for me and definitely lived up to expectations, were Burga cases. Really good products
I’d love to see this type of video with gadgets and home products/appliances! I’ve bought so many trendy gadgets that I regret 😅
maybe get rid of things that don’t work and hold on to staples/your absolute fav pieces? (ex: like things that aren’t currently in style but will come back, or things you just haven’t worn for a while but can’t part from)
I love the sherpa coat and I would definitely wear it all winter long❤😊
The top with the layered collar looks really nice on you. It’s unique and fun.
That white floofy collard shirt is giving Moira Rose
The charlotte tilbury flawless filter isn’t a foundation!! They call it a “complexion booster”. I have the elf dupe and it’s really just like a glow product. I put it sparingly under my foundation
yes, comfortable shoes all the way ! 👟🥿
My worst purchase is still my Dyson air wrap - I just don’t use heat on my hair like idk why I thought I would start. I now use the blow dry attachment to dry my dogs off when it’s freezing rain outside but that’s literally it.
This was literally me until about 2-3 months ago…then I just started playing around with it more and now I love it!! It’s definitely not for everyone though and it’s SO expensive! 🙃
I just - I think in my late twenties I thought I cared and then the day I turned 30 I just stopped. At least it was the 20% off during the Sephora sale
I bought the Revlon One-step Volumizer Dryer. I have thin hair and just could not get it to work. I gave it to my daughter but she doesn't use heat on her hair so I told her to give it to someone that could use it. The only saving grace was that it didn't cost as much as the Dyson.
@@jkschnik6952 these were smart, adult decisions that i didn't make. my mother wouldn't stop raving about how amazing it was after her hotel had them as the hair dryers in the rooms - i was influenced by my mom.
Wear a T-shirt under that bodycon black dress with sneakers and wear it to coffee!
carrie, I started following ellyce fulmore (adhd personal finance creator) and would recommended her content to everyone who deals with impulse purchases due to adhd
great video as usual
Trendy shoes ALWAYS tend to be uncomfortable. The older I get, the more comfort matters to me. $100- $200 buys me a very nice pair of well cushioned, comfortable sneakers for the gym.
the sherpa coat looks amazing as someone who lives in Michigan
Oh no, I'm so sad to hear that you're thinking of parting with that little black feather dress! You have no idea how many viewers, including myself, were over the moon when we saw you wearing it and looking absolutely stunning in it! The fit was just perfect, and it really brought out your natural beauty. It's such a classic piece that you can wear to weddings, cocktail parties, and any other special occasion you can think of. I really hope you reconsider keeping it!
