~ When I first saw this jumpsuit…I almost couldn’t believe how perfect it was! Navy WITH a BOW?! Too good to be true. Initially when I purchased this jumpsuit, I had it in my mind for Salone del Mobile, the big design week that’s going on right now in Milan. It’s full of fun events, amazing design exhibits, and also some parties too! With some pointed toe heels, a white blazer worn as a cape, and some sparkly earrings – it’s a DONE DEAL! Voila, the chicest evening look that I managed to exclude black from and sneak in a gigantic bow. Mission Accomplished.
However, I also realize that WEDDING SEASON is upon us. As an eager bridesmaid for my best friend Alison’s wedding in June, I pretty much think of weddings every day. (*Al, don’t get mad if I also wear this for the rehearsal dinner, k?) With weddings on my mind (and always on my Pinterest board), I realized that a JUMPSUIT is virtually the most amazing thing you could ever wear to a wedding for a few key reasons: 1. Getting out of a car or a limo with high heels is WAY easier to do GRACEFULLY in a jumpsuit. 2. Breaking it down on the dance floor can be done a WHOLE LOT more successfully in a jumpsuit. 3. Jumping as high as you possibly can for that bouquet is also easier in a jumpsuit (jump-suit)! 4. Getting a piggy back ride from your date when the wedding is over because your feet hurt from dancing so much and you can’t POSSIBLY put heels back on is really only appropriate in a jumpsuit.
I know that jumpsuits can at first be a bit scary if you haven’t tried them before, and so I rounded up a ton of amazing jumpsuits & rompers below for every body type (because rompers are also amazing for many of the same reasons, above ^)! Oh, also…no excuses if you are short! Just like dresses…there’s a style that will work for you. I ordered this Navy Bow Jumpsuit in Petite and was a bit worried since I never order from this particular website in Petite. However, it fit like a glove and hit at exactly the right spot! I’m pushing 5’2…why do I not always order from this retailer in petite?! IDK. Live and learn!
Happy Spring! It feels good to be back in Milan, getting back into my routine, and taking a (*very short*) travel break! Everyone in Milan has “spring fever”…it’s contagious! Thanks for always following along and always thanks for your feedback on here and on social media 🙂
Gratefully with love (and spring fever),
