[CARA-JEAN KITCHI]

our voices carry

careful words we can barely speak out loud

"Fashion is the armor
to survive the reality
of everyday life."
—Bill Cunningham

Due to her tiny stature, Cara had never been a fan of clothes shopping. Back when she had attended private school, that required a tailored uniform, it hadn't been a problem, as she was measured and the clothes were made, and other outfits had been made the same way. Now, as an adult, she still had to shop in the children's section of stores - which was great if she loved pretty and colourful things - so she ordered most of her clothing online, or had it made for her.

However, with the show season approaching, she knew she needed new show attire, as well as her daughter and the Clarke-Thorne twins needing new clothes as they had all gone through a growth spurt - even if Kyoto, who was a year older than the twins, was the same height as them. Drawing in a deep breath, she brushed down the long sleeved maroon and gold Blue Acres polo shirt that she was wearing, and walked into the tack store. She had a list of the children's sizes, as Naomi had thought it was best not to let the children loose in the tack shop, and she headed over to look at the show jackets, trying to work out which ones would look best on her with the horses she rode, while also making sure they didn't look too... young for her to look professional while in the show ring.
