onesie, twosie

if it’s wednesday, it’s bound to be date night with mr. style which is as good an excuse as any to trot out a new Banana Republic jumpsuit. i know, i know, there are many of us who complain about ladies room duties when wearing a jumpsuit. if you can get beyond that particular drawback, jumpsuits are an easy way to put a little FUN into your wardrobe and an evening out on the town. what caught my attention about this cute little number were the race stripes running along either side of this wide-leg jumpsuit. and the front and rear welt pockets are trimmed in white to boot, adding visualize interest. the bodice is lined and has concealed bra keeper loops – a feature that keeps those straps from straying. the one thing jumpsuits have in common with dresses is that they are both one and done. and who doesn’t love easy?

today, the accessories are simple but bold with an oversized cuff bracelet, hoop earrings (similar here), and a silver necklace from Jane Basch with a diamond pavé lobster claw clasp. white sandals (similar here) and crepe blazer (similar here) polish this ootn off as does a bold red lip. date night? i’ve got you covered. didn’t i say a jumpsuit is a fun way to add pizazz to an evening out?
