Jumpsuits

Zara Jumpsuit

  
Ace & Jig Zodiac Onesie

My last day at the office is on Wednesday. I'm teaching a twelve week course over the summer, which requires a nomadic existence. I'm at a point in my life where I'm ok with the idea of showing up to a lecture wearing a jumpsuit. Who's with me?

Yes! Jumpsuits all the way!!

I'm not a fan. Difficult to manage in the bathroom and they have a tendency to exaggerate figure flaws (magnifying thighs while lengthening torsos and legs).

I always think dresses are the easiest option, especially in the summer. One piece and no fuss.

I'm with Moya. Never been a fan, prefer dresses or skirts in warmer weather.

My torso is too long for jumpsuits...bad things happen. :p

I wish jumpsuits looked good on me. I'm a shortlisted hourglass, though, so they definitely don't.....

Skirts and dresses are probably more flattering, but maybe I could both teach and watch the kids at the park in a jumpsuit?

I figure they're a fancier version of the overalls I live in during the summer.

If they work with your body type. My thoughts are they just don't work on most of us and there is the bathroom problem. I think they also restrict mobility which is why I've sold every jumpsuit I've owned without wearing them. Love the idea in theory but in practice--like playsuits--they just don't seem to work.

I am obsessed with them. I want one so badly but with my growing belly I think fit will be an issue. But that probably won't stop me.

I think jumpsuits are very much jolie-laide. My Steven Alan overalls were indispensable during my pregnancy, but the bathroom problem is always an issue (especially if your little ones insist on being held at all times).

Since I had kids, I've become so accustomed to pants and shorts at the playground that skirts and dresses with leggings feel overly restrictive to me. I even find it difficult to teach in a skirt these days.

Totally with you and I've wondered if I can lecture in them...
