Styling a floral jumpsuit for all occasions

by 2 Comments

I’ll bet you can guess where the term jumpsuit came from, but here is a bit of extra trivia. The term jumpsuit was introduced in 1919 by a Florentine designer as a practical piece of clothing worn by parachuters and skydivers – quite literally a suit for jumping! How about that? Many of my stylish fellow bloggers have been showcasing them lately and it seemed like my turn! So, today I am styling my version: a black floral jumpsuit that can be worn for almost any occasion.

The floral jumpsuit outfit

The beauty of a jumpsuit is that you don’t need to make decisions about adding any other pieces, you just put it on and you’re done! Of course, the thing that all women know about jumpsuits is the issue that arises when one needs to go to the necessary room, right? Have you worn a jumpsuit and found yourself doing the shimmy to get it up and down? And when one is in a hurry, that is NOT fun! Haha! Yes, we’ve all been there!
What really sold me on this floral jumpsuit–besides the beautiful floral on the dark black background, of course–is the zipper in the back. Woo hoo! I can get it off all by my myself without doing the dance or asking for help from some stranger in the restroom!! And my tailor could actually put a few stitches in the neckline to avoid that gaping thing that happens with a wrap front. All good things, right?
 The really good news is that I picked this up off a clearance rack at a discount store. Can you guess which one? Yes, Target! There are lots of great finds there! Click to see a similar version here.

I found these super cute espadrille platform sandals at Nordstrom during a price matching. That means that they had to match some other store’s sale price for that particular day, so they were on sale. They are very comfortable and not too crazy high, which works for me. They will be perfect for summer as I can wear them with shorts as well as skirts and dresses.

Naturally, I did have to have the floral jumpsuit hemmed–short legs here! Lol! I had the tailor leave them a bit long so I can also wear heels if I want to wear it for a more formal occasion.

Circular woven bag

Of course, a circular woven purse was the perfect bag to wear with this outfit to keep it casual. Wow, I do love this bag and have received many comments and compliments! And it is perfect for spring and summer. And trending, too!

Statement earrings

I meant to add some bangle bracelets as I think that those and these statement earrings would be enough. A simple choker necklace would also look cute, don’t you think?

If you don’t yet have a jumpsuit, be sure to give them a try! And if you find a floral jumpsuit at a decent price, that is even better. The overall pattern keeps the eye roving which doesn’t call attention to any one area–always a good thing!

Check back in on Wednesday for another jumpsuit idea! They are such fun to play with!
