Love it or Leave it: The Jumpsuit

On my Style Want List for 2015 is a jumpsuit.  The jumpsuit became very popular again and it is a look that is still around today. I have seen so many different styles and would like to have one that will fit me perfectly.

I walked into  Kohl's the other day and saw an extra large poster of Jennifer Lopez wearing a jumpsuit that made me sigh and whispered "wow".  JLO was wearing the heck out of that jumpsuit.  of course having a stylist and great lighting made it even better!lol!

I decided to try on the two I liked the best, one black and the other a black & white print, both JLO's design.  While the black jumpsuit was attractive, and I loved the pockets, the fit wasn't what I liked. I felt it had too much going on.



 The waist was gathered elastic band, with a self string, and the bodice was a deep V neckline with a small hook for modesty.  It was a jersey cotton material but it wasn't a great fit for me. I didn't love it.




The print jump suit was one that I liked a lot.  The top had a great looking neckline which was very attractive when I tried it on.

It was sleeveless and the cut of the arms fitted just right, I won;t have to worry about hanging flesh or nip slips!lol!

If you notice, for this jumpsuit the waist is also elastic but it was a fitted look, not a loose one and it made my waistline seemed more trim. I definitely loved it!




The third jumpsuit is one that I loved quite a lot.  This wasn't a JLO design.  In fact, I found it at Rainbow Stores, a budget friendly store I like to shop sometimes when I'm looking for cute inexpensive clothing.  The store actually does carry it's own brand called Caren Sports, a very good line.  This jumpsuit was not the store brand. I did like It and it felt great on, not heavy/  The look was quite attractive.  What I didn't like?  The zipper kept pulling down.  Because of that, I didn't love it.  Now I am definitely going to be seeking a great pair of denim jumper!





I haven't worn the jumpsuit I bought yet.  When I do I will definitely show you what I wear in a day!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!
