Is that all? - YouLookFab Forum

When we moved to Berlin from Tampa a few years ago, several people pointed out what I could not see in myself; I like layers! I’m not big on scarves or other bits and bobs added “just because”. Now that we are planning a week back in Florida, I’m having trouble imagining how I dress without a topper, or a scarf worn to stay warm, or tights, or....anything.

So here I am with my jumpsuit, trying to decide if the turquoise necklace is too much. I’m not planning on adding a cardi or anything else but sandals which I will buy there.

I *think* it looks finished. Part of me feels a little undone but, otoh, I am tired of needing to put on so many things before I go out the door after doing it all winter.

Can you feel me? Stuck between loving layers, being tired of taking so long to get dressed, the joys of 1-piece dressing and wondering if there’s more?

Cute jumpsuit! I think it looks finished but I would need a sweater for the indoor A/C.

I am not a one-piece dresser in general. Summer is hard for me because I need the third piece to fee "done". But I agree it does get old. For me, I look forward to being able to leave the house without a coat!

I think the jumpsuit looks fabulous on you and will be perfect for your upcoming travels. I like it with and without the necklace.

My default is single layer dressing, since I do it most of the year. Layers for me are just for warmth- not by choice!

So yes the jumpsuit is fine on it's own. I don't like the heavy necklaces with it, but simple short pendant, bold earrings, or a bracelet would be good. Plus you'll have on sunnies and maybe a hat.

I agree with RobinF, although I enjoy one-piece dressing and Summer fashion!

Cute jumpsuit. Add Summer shoes and a cardigan or denim jacket for a/c.

I like the necklace in #1 best. And to my eye, the turquoise necklace works well too. The blue enhances the blue in your eyes.

It’s such a pretty jumpsuit it can stand alone, but I think the necklace in pic 1 adds a little something. Cute sandals will be great.
Hat and sunnies will also be needed I assume.

I think it works fine on its own! I do agree that the necklace in #1 is the best -- nice length and the right scale, I think.

I wish I lived in the climate where one doesn’t need layers 10 months out of a year. One piece or two separates are my ideal dressing type.

Me being me, I would go without jewelry or maybe earrings with this jumpsuit
A pair of red shoes, nice bag and sunglasses would be my suggested accessories.

Glad people like it! I’m hearing a slight preference for the seashells, which I think is my favorite too (or maybe the collar). Funny that people are suggesting earrings; my ears aren’t pierced, and I don’t wear clip-ons more than once a decade.

Great jumpsuit! I rather like necklace #2 - I see a lot of this in arty-academia.

Rachylou, nerdy academic is me. It’s funny because in theory I thought the turquoise should be a slam dunk. That necklace/ this outfit is what I thought of when I read this blog post, when it was too chilly for the jumpsuit. I nearly stuck it into the suitcase without trying it on. I’m glad I didn’t. https://youlookfab.com/2020/09.....-necklace/

Btw, the shell necklace was a gift from my boyfriend in 6th grade. I got the collar at a flea market in Berlin (one that no longer exists) in the 90s. The turquoise necklace was from my mom; I don’t know if I’ve ever worn it.

I too like the shell necklace here- simple and summery. Turquoise would be fab with a simple dark top on you.

I vote for the shells, and something to toss on for the air-conditioning. Hope you have a great trip.

Sloper

I like the both the seashell and turquoise necklaces.
Maybe a big sun hat?

Lovely jumpsuit! I vote for the seashell necklace

always trying

you look fab in the jumpsuit.. The necklace in #3 looks more current. Only one I like with the jumpsuit as it looks complete even without any thing else. Ad a cardi or light jacket if needed for cold AC or cool evening or such.

I think any of the necklaces would work, but my fave for the jumpsuit is the collar for 3 reasons. First, the V shape mimics the shape of the jumpsuit V-neck. Second, the linear design in the necklace echos the linear leaf designs in the suit. Third, I like the warmth of the brass with the red.
You could also just take whichever one goes best with all the planned outfits-or take all three!

Ophelia, that is so well-reasoned! I was thinking of the shapes similarity, but you are so right about the warmth and angularity. It’s interesting to me that so many are going for the shells.

Cat2 & Always trying, thanks! I keep reaching for a topper, but we will be dining al fresco in Florida.

Sloper, a hat would be smart.

Thanks, Nikki!

Sal, good idea for that necklace. I may try it with my 501s & grey bodysuit.
