Hey Everyone,
Sorry for my complete lack of blogging recently. I had to take a bit of a backseat from doing this on my days off to focus more on planning my travels once i leave the Gold Coast. It's all coming round preeetty quickly, although its gradually coming together now. We just need to bite the bullet and actually start committing to dates and booking things, scary stuff but I'm soo excited! Our plans are to fly to the North Island of New Zealand for a week before flying back to Oz and travelling up the east coast of Australia (hippy style in a caravan) finishing off in luxury in the Whitsundays!! And i thought shopping created a large dent in my bank balance!
My post this week is slightly different. I had no idea what to write about and i felt I've written about quite a few wishlists, outfit ideas, and events so i wanted to do something different. Somehow jumpsuits popped into my mind. I really can't decide what i think of them even after all the years that they have been in fashion. I have only ever tried one on and that was about four years ago in New Look. I loved the style and pattern but when i put it on it looked ridiculous on me! With my small frame even the smallest size seemed to drown me and it looked like i was wearing a baby grow! Since then i have never taken one into the changing rooms, instead i just look and touch deciding whether to give them another go.
Below are a few i have picked out that are currently on the market. They are pretty diverse, ranging from bandeau style tops, palazzo bottom, a tailored look and a bib'n'brace style. I am not a fan of the third one, purely because it looks like its from the 80's and not in a quirky vintage kinda way. I don't think the colour helps, and from looking at my other picks there's a definite colour theme going on which i think is the only way with these!
1 Miss Selfridge, £47
2 Miss Selfridge, £49
3 Miss Selfridge, £45
4 New Look, £19.99
5 Warehouse, £70
6 Own the Runway, £19.99
However, seeing celebrities wearing jumpsuits like Cheryl Cole, Mollie King and Rachel Zoe below, makes me want to run out and buy one. They always look so glamorous and it doesn't look like they are wearing onesies so i think why not give it another try! Heels definitely help, the first two are both roughly the same height as me (5ft 4), and i felt a jumpsuit accentuated my shortness so a few added inches are a neccessity!
Although, seeing Kristen Stewart in this awful get up reminds me why there is still not one hanging in my wardrobe...
What do you all think of jumpsuits?? Love them or hate them, let me know! Am i the only one to still not own one??
You are not alone! I dont own one either, it doesnt go quite well with me but not the less they are getting more stylish with different cutting and designs.
