A follow-up on jumpsuits

I recently tried on an all black jumpsuit from White House Black Market for the first time - and fell in love. With a pair of hot red high heels (of course!), I felt tall, slim and chic. However, I realized that it was really the heels that "made" the jumpsuit.

While walking around this weekend, my mother-in-law and I spotted a woman wearing a zebra-patterned jumpsuit. Wow! I was impressed by her bold move of wearing such a flamboyant outfit. But...she was wearing moccasins.  As a result, the whole look came off as rather "short", for lack of a better word. 



I searched online for zebra and bright floral jumpsuits and decided that these jumpsuits are truly fabulous, but only when worn with a truly fabulous shoe. Check out some fantastic jumpsuit/heel combinations!

    Hey! I can't believe it but I actually tried on the exact same jumpsuit at White House Black Market while looking for bridesmaids dresses with my sister! I definitely feel like you are fashionista enough to wear it. My mom said it looked good on me but I felt self-conscious - mostly because I am very picky about strapless things on my frame. Still-- 1. So excited you're writing a fashion blog! and 2. I agree with you that they're a cool idea! and 3. I LOVE shoes! :)

    That's crazy that you tried on the exact same jumpsuit! I am absolutely positive that you could have pulled it off (especially with a great pair of shoes!), but I definitely understand feeling self-conscious about strapless outfits.
