Answer 1

HI, llevar can mean carry, llevar puesta can only mean to wear

so we don't just say "llevo" for "I am wearing"?? - Incógnito, Nov 25, 2011

Because you might be carryi9ng other things as well as wearing some clothes.. - annierats, Nov 25, 2011

Answer 2

Ahhh, the light bulb just went on!

I didn't quite understand your example until I read annierats' explaination. Now I understand what you are referring to. Your first example you are only saying llevo in reference to wearing something. In the 2nd example, you are using llevo twice, once because you are carrying something and the other because your are WEARING someting. The 'puesta' notes the difference between the two.

THANK YOU BOTH!!

P.S. Yes, sorry, I will post an additional message, I did not know that, thanks!!

HI ingonito, please post an additional message, not a comment, if you have any further questions, I almost didn't see this , sorry

You do sway llevar, when the context is clear puesta or puesto is not necessary:

Llevo una blusa y chaqueta, hoy hace frío.

However, llevo varias chaquetas para la tintorería pero llevo puesta una camiseta, hoy hace calor.
