So I Bought a Jumpsuit

When I interned at Anthropologie last summer there was this really great jumpsuit we had in store. It was navy, with an interesting diamond print, and a tiny cutout detail at the bust. Every so often it I'd walk by it and then have a silent debate with myself about whether this jumpsuit could be a feasible part of my wardrobe. Was it too Carrie Bradshaw? Not enough? The questions seemed endless.

After almost a year I decided to go out on a limb and search for this jumpsuit on eBay. Originally this jumpsuit retailed at $148, which was totally out of my then intern budget. To my surprise I found this jumpsuit in my size, pre-owned, and with a slight imperfection for almost 85% percent off. My Mom fixed the snag, I dry cleaned it, and voila!

I love that jumpsuits can be accessorized in so many ways. For me I chose to wear a simple necklace from Dogeared, my MBMJ watch, a bold lip, vintage sunglasses, and I brought along my J. Crew silk clutch.

 I've also worn this jumpsuit with my 13" Cambridge Satchel, a bold ABH Modern Renaissance eye look, and a nude lipstick. My last styling rendition was with a pair of birkenstock sandals, a Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag, and Miu Miu sunglasses- it was a more casual look. Who knew jumpsuits were so versatile? and glamorous?!

So I bought a jumpsuit and I love it! I particularly am obsessed with this style of jumpsuit and the navy diamond print. Friends, do you have a jumpsuit or even jumpsuits?! Tell me about it, how do you style them?
