Never Say Never

Never say never.

That's probably one of the most cliché expressions, but it's a good one.

Seriously though, never in a million years would I ever think that I'd be caught dead in a jump suit. Aside from how inconvenient they seem when uh, nature calls, I just thought they were ridiculous and unflattering. Really, why would I want to wear something that looks like a onesie? 

Um...

I need to stop saying that I'll "never" wear something, because eventually, I do. I said it about maxi skirts, funky hats, peplum tops, and even skinny jeans, but I always seem to get on board. When these seemingly ridiculous new styles come out, I usually just think they're not going to look good on me, or that I can't pull them off. I guess it just  takes a bit of time to figure out how to make them work for me. 

A few weeks ago, I was shopping at Zara and I guess I was feeling a little bit adventerous. I always get that feeling when I step into one of their stores! Their clothing and accessories are always so bold, unique, and trendy, so I feel "cool enough" to try on these sorts of pieces when I'm in the store.

I took a jumpsuit into the change-room, not expecting to like it. At first, I didn't. It looked awful! Apparently, I put it on backwards. Oops.

Honestly though, once I figured out how to wear it, I decided that it was pretty cute. It's also so different than anything I own, so that's key in justifying why I needed by buy it.  Spoken like a true shopping addict, I know. Sure, it's not as easy to wear as a dress, but it's cute and totally comfortable.

Can you believe I just bought a second the other day? I'm kind of obsessed!

    I hear ya on the "never say never" point! That seems to happen to me all the time! For the longest time I swore I couldn't wear skinny jeans...I am wearing some right now! Oh well! And yes, I have totally come around on the jumpsuit too!

    I get the never say never thing. Inevitably I find myself wearing what was a trend two years later. Jumpsuits are like the fancy sibling to overalls and the cousin to pajamas. I haven't taken the plunge yet. You're totally rocking them! Looks like they're made for you!

      You're too funny! Trust me, I'm often late to the party. It took me about that long to get my first peplum top. I honestly don't know why!

    I'm loving the layout. Also, you look fantastic in that jumpsuit and that confident smile is infectious. If I had those cool shoes and your attitude, I would try jumpsuits too; unfortunately, I feel that they drown me in material :(

      Thank you! I've only changed the header for now, but will be working on some other subtle changes too. That's why I didn't mention it yet...so good eye.

      I think you just need to find one that fits correctly. Jump suits are like anything, so if they aren't the "right" cut, it's just not going to look good at all.

    I'm totally the same! But just recently after years of denial I got on board with jeans! Seems like it's just all about the right time and right style :)

    That jumpsuit looks so comfy! I just like jumpsuits cause they're SO convenient! I don't need to match the top with the bottom, I'll just throw it on and I'm good to go! They're super easy to dress up and dress down too :) Although it is SUCH a pain when you need to go to the toilet, I think it's worth it ;)

    Ahh I totally understand what you mean about saying never to a trend and then getting on board later anyway. I was the exact same way about maxi dresses (and the maxi hem length in general) and I went out and bought two maxi dresses last week haha.
    I think that jumpsuits were kind of high-end and outrageous when they first came out but now they're selling toned-down versions so they're much more wearable. Perhaps that's why we're gravitating towards them? This Zara one looks amazing and I can actually see that being wearable to work even (with the right styling, of course). Love how you're wearing them with those fabulous sandals!

      I was soooooo against maxi skirts, but sure enough, Gap had some on sale, I gave one a try, and the rest is history!
      I think that once the mainstream stores start selling these trendy pieces, they really become less crazy and much easier to pull off. Not to mention, affordable!
