K/R: Jumpsuit

Me again, but DHL is being busy today;)
While perusing the BR clearance site, I saw this jumpsuit that was marked down to about 30 euros. I have 30. years high school reunion next spring and don't have anything appropriate. So thinking this jumpsuit could be it. What do you think? Are they still going to be popular next year? How does it fit? Is this appropriate? I still have some time to work on my arms

Ooh, I love this jumpsuit on you, Anchie! It fits you really well and is totally appropriate for the occasion. I would style it with some statement-y jewelry and shoes. There is nothing wrong with your arms, btw.

I agree with Tanya. KILLER on you.

That said, Spring can be cold and you don't want to cover this baby up.

Thank you all for such a positive feedback. Event will be in May, avenue is yet to be decided on, but probably some nice restaurant as previously. Weather wise it is little bit risky. Angie, you may be right that it can be still cold for this. If this doesn't work out I don't have many other occasions to wear it. Should I risk it? I did not start looking for something to wear to the event yet, but this jumped on me You know how it is.. when you are not looking..

It looks so good on you that I would risk it Worst case scenario if it is a bit cold you could always bring a nice cashmere pashmina/wrap. I also think it's perfect for date nights, nice restaurants, going to theater, etc.

Tanya - these are all good suggestions. thank you. I can maybe wear it to some other occasions too. My life is very casual/kids oriented when I am not working, but it never hurts to have something nice if occasion arises.

It look great on you -fit and color- and would be perfect for a reunion. But is May too far away to commit now? BTW, your arms look wonderful.

Love this. Perfect.

It is perfect--sleek, sophisticated, current. I am thinking that if it is still cool out, you could top it with a pashmina scarf, long or short jacket/blazer, or even a long, thin dressy cardigan. This would be wedding guest attire or holiday wear for me. I agree with statement jewelry (colors appropriate to seasons) and I love it with your pointy silver shoes. It's already the perfect length!!!!

You should keep it. It's perfect for a high school reunion. I'm sure there will be several guys there filled with regret. And your arms look fine.

It's lovely on you. My only concern would be sizing--are you settled, now, or might there be some significant change between now and next May?

I have a similar jumpsuit from a few years ago. I wear it as you have described but also dress it down. With flats and a jean jacket, I It is perfect for a casual dinner. So easy to dress up with some silver jewelry and nicer shoes. I would keep and find times to wear it.

Veteran

Oh yes, keep.
While it may be a shame to cover this baby up, you certainly can!, If you need to because of weather, or to get more wears out of it. But goegeous as is.

I love this on you. Jumpsuits are really hard to get a perfect fit, so I would definitely keep it.

The jumpsuit loves you back. I'd thake the risk. Think of ways to casualize it. I like the denim jacket idea. Can you wear it with flats? Then you could try it with sneakers and a bomber or a long cardi.

anchie

Veteran

After so many positive feedback no way I am returning it

Good suggestion about wearing it more casually. Unfortunately I can't wear it with the flats, it would drag on the floor, but can try it with some wedge sandals.

Emily K - regarding my weight - it has been now 3 months since I have reached current weight, not sure if this is enough time to call it stable. I have not purged anything that is currently too big yet. I am also not actively trying to lose more weight but I am on the same food regime and this is something that I have to do permanently. I am avoiding wheat as much as possible but I am not fanatic about it This jumpsuit is not skintight and has a nice drape, so I think it can tolerate some weight fluctuations.

It is gorgeous on you. Your arms look great.

I'm not a fan of jumpsuits, but that one looks great on you.
I think you'd want to pair it with a topper that's flowing, in keeping with the jumpsuit, but that also either has a waist or is waist length, like this. http://store.metmuseum.org/new.....t/80016223

Look great on you! Could you get away with layering a turtleneck underneath it for cooler weather?

I agree with everyone else that the jumpsuit looks great on you. I love it with the pointy silver shoes and think it just needs a silver bracelet and sparkly necklace and you're good to go.
