Black But Balanced

Gals, I rarely, and I mean rarely wear black. I reserve it for times of mourning which I hope remains rare. But in a sense I am in mourning. I'm mourning the end of our Preschool era this week. I'm not an emotional person and don't mind change, but the end of this season with my darling little girl has my heart in a fragile state. 

Let's chat about the color black. It's dark! I'm a very light person full of energy and excitement; therefore I typically dress myself in colors that suit me in the light and bright shades. But black is chic and sharp! It's sophisticated and no one can argue, flattering! It creates a deep blank canvas that contrasts allowing other features to shine.


This jumpsuit fits like a glove! The fabric is substantial with a sturdy stretch to it. This allows for a fit that 'holds you in' and hugs beautifully on the body. The cross over v-neck is elongating, the collar polished, the short sleeve slimming and the wide leg adds a feminine silhouette. 

Wear this dressy with heels, cozy with boots & a sweater 
or casual with sneakers and a denim jacket.
Versatility makes this a winner!!!


Bonus: The front oversized pockets smooth the transition from hip to leg - flattering! 

Now, I know jumpsuits are tricky with the ergonomics of undressing with every trip to the ladies room, but this one has a back zipper making it fast and easy. 

It does come with a self fabric belt which I preach over and over is stylish to replace with a true belt that adds shine, texture and interest to an otherwise monochromatic look. 

I chose a hot pink to balance the darkness and add a pop of ME. 

Note: a monochromatic palette is slimming and classy so you don't have to break it up but I would add jewelry.


Jumpsuit - also in red & light brown

Dress Beautifully in Black
