I've lost count of the number of times I've worn this jumpsuit to work and have tried to get some shots of it for the blog. Every time Polly and I got lined up for a shoot, something intervened. I bought this last year and it has been a great mainstay in my working wardrobe ever since. I love the easy fit more than anything for those days when I'm hanging art and I don't want to be bothered with keeping a blouse tucked in or finding the right length of top to wear with a very tailored pair of trousers. No, there's none of that with this lovely all-in-one.
Most women probably have a go-to dress that offers the same simple solution when they want an easy to wear outfit. The jumpsuit affords me freedom to move, freedom to accessorise and freedom to introduce another complimentary colour to give it a face lift. Lime green looks fab against the navy and grey, as does a zingy lemon and of course white is a classic partner too. Cerise would look stunning, but I've not tried that one yet, nor turquoise which is a favourite summer colour of mine. The list of permutations is endless. Whether we'll manage to contrive another photo shoot showcasing any of these within the next 12 months remains to be seen, but at least you know we'll be aiming for that at some point!
The jumpsuit and belt hail from H&M, orange vest from M&S (via charity shop), the sandals were from New Zealand and the brand is Ko Fashion, by Boston Babe. The bangle was a charity shop find, yellow stoned ring is by Martin James, the other ring is from Diana Porter see here and my necklace was a gift. Once again my sunglasses are from Quay Australia.
And finally...Tomorrow is the 20th of the month meaning that it's Ping Pong Post day. I've never had to post on two consecutive day before, and I do hope that works out as a treat for you. Here's a sneak preview of the item we will all be styling up. I think I can honestly say it's been the most challenging item for me so far. Annie sent this all the way from Hong Kong to Samantha and I here in the UK, so I hope we can both do it justice after all the miles it's travelled. See you all tomorrow then!

Fabulous jumpsuit. It looks great with the red/orange, and I can see it styled with so many different colors as you mentioned. I owned a jumpsuit about 20 years ago and loved it. I'll have to look into getting one again...

I think it's all about finding the right jumpsuit and it will be indispensible. Sounds like you're ready to start the search. Great to have your feedback Andrea x

I haven't had a jumpsuit for a long time, this looks stylish. I like the idea of the coloured vest underneath. Navy is so versatile with other colours, y favourite is cerise or most shades of pink.

Thanks Tessa. I thought this was better than one with narrow straps as it gives you more options. I'm going to be looking out for some more pinks to go under this as I think it would really work well x

It looks really good and I can see why it is so good for your changing the gallery. I just worry about having to take it all off in the loo in public!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect for work Kezzie. But when you're in the rush for the loo it can be it bit of a challenge!

I have a black one shoulder jumpsuit bought in an M and S sale with a Christmas present voucher about 5 years ago. I've never worn it - yet. Just waiting for the right occasion as it's quite dressy... I might haul it out of the wardrobe and see if I can dress it down and wear it. I've been quite inspired by this post!
ReplyDeleteI love your jumpsuit and it looks very comfortable and easy to wear. I like the orange contrasts.
Have a lovely week!

There's nothing wrong with having a bit of a dressed up day, say once a week if you're going out for lunch or even just wandering around the shops. I'm sure you could dress your jumpsuit down as well as up. Thanks for your support and hope you have a good week too x

What a fantastic print it is, Anna. And I love the pop of orange peeping through and how you've tailed the outfit with the orange sandals. I can quite see how much of a work horse outfit this would be for you at the gallery, although I'm like Kezzie, I can never be doing with jumpsuits for the loo issue! Ha, ha.

That has to be the only drawback of a jumpsuit. I usually head off to the ladies before I actually need to go which just gives me enough time to get unbuttoned ready in time for the event! Glad you like the pop of orange with this too. Thanks for your support as ever x
