Might As Well Jump

It’s been the sort of week I hope doesn’t get repeated for a while.   

Brakes fixed on the car.  A tooth crowned.  An aging cat in the vet’s for the day.  A new wing mirror.

Grand total, just a few quid short of £2k, thank you!

I don’t think my pensioner’s purse could take many more hits like this!

But, 1st world probs eh?!  So better not to grumble and instead move swiftly on.

To this beaut!

I've seen many bloggers and instas wearing cute summer jumpsuits.  They do look rather fun and appealing so when I saw this baby I thought 🎶 I might as well Jump 🎶 too!

So allow me to introduce you to my fun jumpsuit.

I really like it.  The Photographer, not so much.

 "Talk to the hand!" was my response when he aired his view.

 Because I'm wearing it and its a keeper.  And using this equation:

(£180 flight + £50 rail ticket to Primark) + £15 jumpsuit refund = (£215)

the Cost of Return would be £215 so it just doesn't make financial sense to return it eh?

And if I fill up on bottled water, have a coffee and buy a sandwich along the way, well you get the picture!

So it's a keeper.

My lovely blogger mate Laurie of vanityandmestyle HERE suggested wearing a white T under.  And that makes a lot of sense for cooler days (and an added bonus for me is that it's a sneaky way to hide straying bra straps and unsightly upper arms too!)

So, ways to style it.

1.  On its own, with espadrille wedges (here) or flat sandals.

2.  A cardi, obvs.  I have a cream cardi with rust embroidery that will look sooo cute.

2.  A jean jacket, another obvs.

Can you suggest other ways to style it?

Just as the dress I wore on the previous post, this polka dot jumpsuit invokes a feel of 40s, 50s and 70s fashion styles.  Vintage.  And that's just fine with me, for I am vintage too!

So needless to say, I'm going to have hours of pleasure styling this baby, and many days of pleasure wearing it.

And as I mention in my short video below, this buy was not pre-meditated -  it was a sling-over-the-arm jobbie on the way to the till.  And some of my best buys have come about that way, and many of my worst!

And I might as well Jump with Van Halen too.

So tell me ladies, have you jumped yet? 

Is a fun summer jumpsuit rockin' YOUR world  right now?

A la perchoine,
