this is actually something i wouldn't have thought i would ever wear - not exactly being a fan of anything trouser-like, yet something drew me towards this jumpsuit in the liverpool primark (it may have been alex's encouragement !!!) after our trying-on session when we got our haul home, i was probably up to 85% convinced i liked it, although figured it would need a little pinning / tweaking in order to be totally comfortable wearing it, but since buying it i have now worn it twice in the space of a week or so - that's good going for me!! the first outing was to Silverstone for the day last week, where my dad was participating in a driving session at the porsche test track..i teamed the jumpsuit with one of my first ever pairs of irregular choice - gold spatz ankle boots..which i love, as they are nice and comfy even after a day of walking round :) the black cardi is one of my wardrobe staples at the moment, i think i wear it far too often - it's starting to look rather tatty in fact - so i think i need to be more adventurous with my layering..but i love the jumpsuit!
this grey / floral dress was a sale find during my trip to liverpool to visit the marvellous alex..it was from vero moda - a shop i hadn't been in before, but would definitely bear in mind in the future - the store reminded me a little of zara in it's layout and the style of clothes, and we were drawn to the sale rails - i found this dress for a fab £15 and a wonderful floral playsuit for £10! this dress was worn to work last week with the grey beret as i drove to work in the new car wth the roof down, so mainly to stop my hair getting *too* windswept! i'm almost excited about the colder weather - so long as it's crisp and not raining, expect roof-down driving with a wooly hat and scarf and the heated seats on full!! :)

I love that jumpsuit. I haven't worn one since the 80's and my body shape has changed a lot since I was 10. I might try one on next time I'm shopping and see what they are like on me.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a shopping buddy like Alex!

That jumpsuit is amazing!! Yay for new car driving :)
ReplyDeleteOh Caroline, I'm hopeless if you're trying to save money. I think everything looks gorgeous so I just go "BUY IT!" all the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd the jumpsuit does look gorgeous so yay for deciding to keep it! Ditto the grey dress which is such a cute, flattering shape and colour. I sort of wish I'd bought myself the playsuit, even though it didn't fit properly at all.
That jumpsuit is absolutely amazing, I love the print on it. I must say, people like Alex is the reason I always shop alone ;)
ReplyDeleteThe jumpsuit is great on you, Char. It's like a maxi dress only with legs and a right bugger when you want the loo but gorgeous nonetheless! Great choice, Alex. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe jumpsuit looks great on you and as Vix says it's not all that far from a dress!

I really need to find this horse jumpsuit! You would love the bird one too, exactly the same shape and thin branches, birds all over in greens, yellows (if I remember rightly). I was screaming in the shop when I saw the short horse playsuit-I love the fabric-just a shame they haven't made it in a dress-I haven't worn trousers for years and don't quite think I have the figure for it now.
