Hello lovelies, I hope you are all doing amazingly well. Today I'm posting on a fashion item that has become a staple in every wardrobe; the jumpsuit. Jumpsuits have been around for ages, coming in and out of fashion, but over the last five years it has grown in popularity. This I guess is due to the fact that the jumpsuit now comes in various styles, and can be casual or dressy. A jumpsuit is rather effortless, and is a great alternative to a dress. The most important thing when picking a jumpsuit is the fit; it has to be perfect. An ill-fitting jumpsuit can highlight unsightly bulges and imperfections.
I decided to make a tailored, tribal print jumpsuit that can either be worn casually or dressed up with the right accessories. This is the first time I have made one for myself and I think it turned out great. I used a print that wasn't too loud so as not to overwhelm the eyes. The shoulders are embellished with metallic stones and rhinestones that blend with the print. I accessorized with bracelets similar in colour to the shoulder embellishments, an elastic belt with a metallic plate on the waist and black shoe boots with metallic details. The accessories all have a metallic theme to them and the belt puts emphasis on the waist. My earrings are a long, layered gold loop (keeping the metallic theme) on one ear and a stud on the other ear; this adds an edge to the outfit and is accentuated by my hair style.
To style the jumpsuit in a casual way, you could wear flat strappy sandals or ballet pumps , remove the belt, and wear a simpler pair of earrings.
