Good day, Friday my beautiful creature. It's a lovely Spring day here in the big big city and I'm feeling happy to be here experiencing that awesome metamorphosis from Winter city blues to Spring city happies. It may just be that I'm in a swell mood, but looks like everyone on the street has finally exhaled and let in that great Spring energy.
And as I get ready to head into my closet this weekend (yes, I said head in. It's a room in itself. Don't ask. Oh you didn't ask? Good.), I'm for sure keeping my eye on one of my favorite staples for warm weather dressing, and that's the lovable jumpsuit. It's simply the bones for Spring/Summer fabulousness- pile on the accessories and you're gorgeous.
As someone whose always enjoyed the thought of wearing a uniform (wouldn't that take the pressure off in the morning), I'm drawn to the jumpsuit's utility and ease. And on warm days, effortless dressing is simply a must- one piece. Done. As a huge fan of summer dresses, I have a mindset that is decidedly singular when it comes to clothes; nothing better than throwing something over one's head and just going, going, and going some more. Besides, what's better than a grown up, chic onesie?
And for those of you wondering just how functional a jumpsuit is (downsides being restricted peeing ability/sheepish having to sit in bra on public toilet and tightness on more generous hips), never fear. There's a million of these cute suckers for sale just about everywhere, to suit every price range and every shape. The peeing thing is still confounding- just don't wear a jumpsuit to a beer garden. (That may very well be the name of my memoirs). You won't be pleased.
Anyhoo, here's a bevy of options for your inspirational enjoyment. Bring on the easy dressing of balmy days and nights. I hear it's going to be in the 60s this weekend- I'm starting my sewing class on Saturday and looking forward to that and some time enjoying the great outdoors, Brooklyn style. Cause that's what's up this jump to it kind of Friday in the 212. Have a blessed and well suited weekend. One love. XO
