Finally I'm able to share a find that I'm particularly pleased with. About a month ago I stumbled upon this jumpsuit in the Salvation Army Shop. It's in pure wool, Italian made, very fine quality, shows very few signs of wear and it fits me. I wouldn't mind it being a little more fluid, but it is what it is, and I gave very little for it. When is it from? I'm guessing early eighties, but it could be later, too. But the legs where wide and too long with a big cuff at the bottom, so only wearable with really high heels. Since wide legged trousers and high heels are very impractical for me, I decided to have them tapered and cropped so I can wear the jumpsuit with high vamp shoes and booties (and occasionally heels too, of course). I'm aiming for more casual than dressy wear to get the most out of it.

I can see this jumpsuit styled in many ways, both casually and more dressy. It is really comfortable. Today I've layered a white v-neck under it to add a hint of white as a contrast to break up the black, and glossy Chelsea boots and a simple black belt. I do like the jumpsuit sans belt, too, and I can see it paired with my Adidas sneakers like that.

I'm very pleased with the tailored result, but I'm unsure wether rolled or unrolled legs work best. What do you think look best here? It would of course depend on the footwear, too.

#1-2 unrolled
#3-4 rolled
#5 WIW today, running a few errands.
#6-7 an earlier experiment, from before the legs were altered, with pointy toe booties and moto
#8 also earlier with denim jacket and cognac oxfords.

So - what's your verdict? Was it worth the effort? I definitely feel this jumpsuit is a game changer for me in regards of taking me outside my comfort zone, and surely a fashion statement. I don't see others wear anything like this around here.

Please share your thoughts in regards of fit, style and wearability. I'm definitely listening. Thanks for reading!
