Jumping Jumping


Hello Loviesssss,


Today we would be looking at one of my favorite trends - the jumpsuit. Oh jumpsuit who would have thought your appeal would linger for so long? I particularly love this trend because its super cute, chic and sure to knock off 10-15mins off your dress up time...LOL. Just slip into one, wear some killer heels or flats, your lovely clutch, a little make up, your hair pulled up or let down and you are good to go.


To think that it was just the fashion brave who dared don a jumpsuit but today celebs everywhere are literally jumping on this statement-making piece.


Thanks to the sleek, feminine silhouettes, luxurious fabrics and colors, jumpsuits are now incredibly chic & stylish for both day and evening events. 


Now before we get carried away, i'd like to remind us of some ground rules we must honor when wearing the jumpsuit.


- Do not let your waist get lost : If you want to flatter your figure in a jumpsuit, you have to define the distinct sections of your body by cinching the waist, either with a belt or with a jumpsuit that has an elasticized or drawstring midsection.


- Ditch the 80's jumpsuit look : The jumpsuit itself is already reminiscent enough of the 80s, so don't go overboard with the color palette, too. It'll look much more modern if you mix things up.


- Pay attention to proportion : Identify the slimmest part of your own silhouette, then work backwards. If you've got killer legs but a not-so-firm tummy, go for a jumpsuit that's blousy up top and skinny in the legs. If you're more top-heavy, balance it out with a jumpsuit whose pants are wide leg or flowing.


So if you're interested in updating your wardrobe with an of-the-moment jumpsuit, you've come to the right place! 


Thanks for always reading.


xoxo.
