I love: jumpsuits

A jumpsuit, for the confused, is basically like a dress but the skirt part is pants. A jumpsuit refers to one with long pants, whereas a romper has shorts.

Basically, jumpsuits are hard work. Hard to design, hard to pull off... Different leg lengths, elastic waistband location, sleeves or no sleeves, solid or pattern: these are all factors that make the difference between looking like a child, a glamazon, a hoochie, and a fatty. I feel like a designer could decide to specialize in jumpsuits, and that would be enough work for an entire career.  The other problem is that the average woman will run away when presented with the challenge of a jumpsuit. It's not that it's soooo fashion-forward, I mean they've been around since the 70s for Pete's sake, but it's risky.

BUT. When they're rockin', they're rockin'. Big time.

I convinced myself to try one on last year, and I gotta say I luuuuuuuurve it. It's a whole lot of curvy me, but it's such a thrill! I also remember making a friend try one on at Forever 21 a few years back, and in 30 seconds she morphed from childish to a 50s pinup hottie. Obvs I made her buy it and she proceeded to get a lot of compliments on her slammin' body after that.

And that's the true beauty of a jumpsuit. If you find the right one, THE ONE, you will look amazing. Like truly AH-mazing (see rockin' comment above).

So here are a few picks... They're mostly dark material or black, and that is simply because it's a one-piece. If you're gonna wear the same color head-to-toe, sometimes less is more. Plus more room for fab accessories. Obvs.

Yes, that is an anchor pattern. DROOL.

I love jumpsuits (or in this case rompers) that look like separates. Also, duh. BOW.

I've had this picture for 4 months, not even gonna lie.

This+red blazer+work = jealous ladies at the office.

WHITE! SCALLOPING! AHHHH!

This one has been "winter-ized" aka see black tights there? The perfect jumpsuit/romper will do that for you. Hot legs in the summer, playful new outfit in the winter.
