I have wanted a jumpsuit for simply ages, and this steel grey, silky beauty with a sweeping asymmetric front drape from Oasap ticked all the boxes for me.
The problem with jumpsuits – a bit like dresses – is that once you’ve put them on, there doesn’t seem to be much left you can add to complete your look… it’s a ready-made outfit. So in my constant need to accessorise (I just can’t leave well alone), I added my ever-faithful Panama hat, purple heels and fair bit of gold jewellery.
As well as that impressive sweep of fabric it’s the small details of this all-in-one that I love: the pleats by the pockets, the notched lapels, the turnup cuffs on the sleeves. It also amuses me that this year I’ve become a dungarees and jumpsuit owner. What about you – have you jumped on the jumpsuit train yet? And if so, how do you style yours… I’m intrigued to find out how you ring the changes!
Jumpsuit: Oasap*, Panama hat: Tumi Crafts, Heels: Zalando, Necklace: Asos, Watch: Asos, Wide B&W cuff: New Look, Other bracelets: H&M, Debenhams
I still don't own a jumpsuit! It's a shame.

I have no idea why, on first seeing this outfit, I thought immediately of
Karen Blixen(Isak Dinesen)… remember "Out of Africa"? Usually I can pinpoint the reference, but it must be the overall (no pun!) retro feel of the look.
Anyway … lovely jumpsuit, and especially on you!
This is a fab jumpsuit, great color and design. It look so good on you. You are owning this outfit!

Love this look. Great styling. The shoes really make it.
that is a gorgous outfit, love the shoes!!!
That is a great jumpsuit. You styled it nicely. Depending on the jumpsuit, one can wear more or less jewelry. A simple v-neck or scoop neck jumpsuit, allows for more jewelry. Your you have on you wear the perfect amount. You look great.
Jumsuits are actually usuelle not my kinda thing but you just made me forget all about it:) Sabina Styleblog Only in Frankfurt
