Jumpsuits; an item I’ve toyed with for a few seasons now. I love the look of them on other people but I really wasn’t sure I could make them work for me. With long legs and a long body getting the proportions right was tricky, and ones I had tried on looked less than flattering. A recent trip in to New Look saw me drawn to an elephant printed number and despite my reservations I decided to size up and see what effect that had.
Jumpsuit: New Look (here) | Sandals: Zara | Bracelet c/o Vente-Privee
I think the size up works better if I’m honest, my actual size would have been perhaps a bit too tight around the bum and I prefer a slouchy leg. This is so comfy that with a bonus 25% off I think this might just be the greatest bargain ever. I continued the safari theme with my leopard detail Zara sandals which I thought might be a bit too OTT but I actually really like them with the jumpsuit.
You can’t really tell from my photos but I’m wearing a gorgeous bracelet sent by the lovely folks at Vente-Privee by Uno de 50 who designed an exclusive “luck” collection for the sales site. This is so my style and has barely been off of my wrist since it arrived!
Have you tried any new trends lately? I’m thinking a playsuit next, but that does depend on finding one that is a fairly decent length so it can actually be worn in public and leave me some dignity.
The Wallis jumpsuit from my blog this week was the first time I’d found a jumpsuit that actually fits! Know I know I can wear them I might have to invest in a few more 🙂
I’ve never tried a jumpsuit before but I’d love to! Love yours, the elephants are super cute x

It’s the ‘going to the toilet in a public place and having to take all your clothes off’ that puts me off! Looks marvellous in you! I have a playsuit but not worn it much! Maybe on holiday? X
This looks great on you! I’d love to be able to pull one off. I did get a playsuit for my holiday but couldn’t wear it as it made me look like an elephant! Ha.

It looks fabulous on you Laura. I do like jumpsuits and actually had one I used to wear for work. Loving the summer ones.
