Currently Craving... Jumpsuits!

Summer is finally here! And with it comes my need for easy thrown-on pieces that don't ask too much, yet are still flattering and chic. I've long flirted with jumpsuits, some past posts here, here, and here, but have yet to find the quintessential piece to fulfill all of my summer dreams! Here are some contenders. 


Unfortunately, this is sold out, but I do like the slate blue color, that fact that it's cropped, and of course pockets! 


Here's an overalls option, again pockets are key, and this could be a fun to layer with flirty tanks throughout the summer months. THEN, come fall I see some flannel under this onepiece. 


A very casual option with this jersey number. Of course, side-boob isn't really my bag, so layering is key here as well.  



For me, summer garments need to have flow, and this black jumpsuit definitely has that going for it, plus the pleating in the bodice feels very elegant and a bit more dressy than the others. 


Speaking of dressy, this jumpsuit features some lovely ruffles and polka dots for a more structured take.  



Another pick from UO, this one walks both a casual and dressier line with the easy silhouette and windowpane-esqu pattern. I also, think this could be really flattering for me with the wider straps and shirred elastic waist. 


Of course, all of the above are kind of blah in terms of color....



A very pretty pick in lilac! Again, a shirred bodice is great for ease of fit, and such a summer staple. Two points against this jumpsuit, lack of pockets AND those straps seem a bit flimsy. 

There's the rub! Each of these options have great details, but none of them have ALL the details I need. Easy to wear, works as an outfit within itself, suits my body, thick straps, has pockets, and features a nice balance of structure & flow. Tall order, but I'm not giving up! 


But seriously, which is your favorite of these picks? Let me know in the comments and I may just be swayed to make a purchase....  ðŸ˜Š

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!
