Note to parents: If your teen daughter just started dating a guy you’re not excited about, send her out of the house in jumpsuits. There’s a reason you NEVER see women on the “Jersey Shore” wearing them.
Besides the fact that jumpsuits are like adult onsies and not always flattering, I still really like this trend. So when I walked into H&M at the end of summer, I couldn’t resist this forest green floral jumpsuit:
|
| I wore this yesterday on an especially warm night in the city to my FAVORITE steakhouse in San Francisco, Epic Roast House |
|
| Jumpsuit (just barely long enough): H&M, Ivory heels – Jessica Simpson, Clutch F21
(sidenote) I notice so many style bloggers add lots of cute accesories into their outfits. I’m going to try adding more jewelry in the future instead of losing it all over my house.
The hardest part of finding a good jumpsuit is making sure it fits well, I had to try this one in 3 different sizes before I found one long enough. I think they usually look best with heels. My friend, Thomas, who takes these pics is a photographer in N. California. Good & Bad, Jumpsuits are Everywhere this Fall… |

|
| BAD: This jumpsuit looks terrible on Kourtney. It does nothing for her curves (front or back) and her black bra is showing. But then… |
GOOD (Kourtney): This is why proper styling makes a BIG difference. Kourtney totally redeems herself by adding a high pair of nude heels (hopefully) ditching the black bra in the same jumpsuit.
(BAD- Kim): Too much leopard is never a good thing.
Have a great weekend!















Just the title of your blog brought back the 90′s for me and “Jump up, Jump Up and Get Down” is now in my head…hehe! You rock the jumpsuit…LOVE it on you and the way you styled it! Great pictures by your friend too!

I still cringe at that animal-crazed photo of Kim. & am I the only one noticing that Kourt’s jumpsuit in the first photo is totally being eaten by her behind?! NEVER a good look!
Also, YOUR jumpsuit looks fab, love the whole look, very pretty and fun!
lovin the jumpsuits! but it just depends on how you’re gonna wear it. I bought a pair of jumpsuit from H&M for 5 bucks! It was on sale! and also you can wear then as pants. just layer then with crop sweater and some belt and you’re good to go! love the green jumpsuit you’re wearing dale!

Kudos to you for pulling them off! And a printed one as well. That would be a style never for me – sigh
Hi Rooth..You could pull it off
@Joanna, that’s a really good idea to layer over it. I’m gonna do that next time
@Superficial Sanctuary…haha I definitely noticed that about Kourtney. Another drawback to jumpsuits
I don’t own one jump suit or romper, but I think you pull it off well! I never thought about having to use the restroom in one lol!
I Loove your jumpsuit! I wish I could find one that fits. I am so short lol. I hate taking things to get altered so I haven’t bothered. I do have a short romper from H&M that I Love though.
you look great in your green jumpsuit. i am avoiding them like the black plaque! i don’t need any quick clothing removal or changing or complication drama. “can’t touch this.” great jersey shore reference observation.

jumpsuits, pajamas, they all look the same to me.
I could never pull off that look and don’t have the body for jumpsuits, but you looked really great and love the accessories too =)

I WANT THIS JUMPSUIT.. Looks tres FAB!!
I love jumpsuits, my problem is the total opposite of yours, since I’m pretty short they tend to be extra long on me :s

Love this post,I just had to share it on twitter today.The perfect song for this post title.I love the jumpsuit,but have problems finding one for me…I’m short and they tend to be too long.
have a great weekend!!!
Looks tres fab on you Dale!! But I’m not sure I could pull it off. Plus, there are some small towns which I won’t mention, where you’d be stared at for even attempting this look. Not my thing, but perfect for someone so stylish as you!
xo
You are looking fabuloso! I like jumpsuits and have two but in shorts versions not long pants. I like them but wore one to a rugby match the other week and then when I went to the ladies room remembered I had to take my scarf, coat, cardigan off – you get the picture!! Nuisance! But worth it sometimes

You look FABULOUS in this for a night out in the city! I haven’t had a jumpsuit in a long time but used to have a few and always loved them (till it was time to go to the restroom!)
Now I want one again! Have a lovely Monday, sweetie!

Dale, you look great in yours and what a fab print girl. You bring up some excellent points and if you purchase one you must follow all of those rules! Because each one is so important! I’m 6’0″ so length has always been a problem, but I think they can be fabulous with the right fit. I’ve given you a blog award. It’s SWEET! Check out my post and pass it on to your readers. ((HUG))

I’m not into the jumpsuit trend for myself but it looks good on some, such as yourself;-)
I love rompers, so cute!!

Dale…I am sure you’ve heard of this but you look like the young version of Farrah Fawcett…how did it take me THIS long to realize it? I think jumpsuits if styled properly can look amazing, like how you did it! I remember this jumpsuit..it flew off the shelves in Chicago!
Beautiful pictures, lovely post and nice blog you’ve got!
I’m totally awed by these jumpsuits! I used to wear these at one time…. now I gotta go & dig them out & start parading in them.
Thks for dropping by Luxury Haven & leaving your lovely comments!
I like jumpsuits especially those who are not very fitted, a little loser on the body. I prefer them for lazy days on the beach, especially short ones. Although I’d love a more glam version for a night out.
wow… me encanta tu blog ; ) te invito a que visites el mío:

Muac!!
Ha, too funny. I have seen that same image of Courtney and thought her stylist should have been SHOT for that one. Totally not flattering- I don’t even love it with the nude heels, but of course a big improvement over the flats.
YOU on the other hand rock a jumpsuit like no other…you LOOK GORGEOUS!!!!! Stunning really.
C
It depends on the body shape ofcourse and animal prints are a DONT ahaha . this one with floral prints looks great on you .

I am loving this jumpsuit on you, the green goes well with your blonde hair too!:D

Hi Dale! Thanks for visiting *sweet pea*! I so appreciate your lovely comments! I’m diggin’ your site, I’m a new follower! And I don’t think I could rock a jumpsuit but I actually love the green one from H&M! You look awesome!
Your jumpsuit is so pretty, it looks amazing on you. And you also have such gorgeous hair!
I’m a big jumpsuit fan, but sadly enough I don’t really have the figure for it.
xx,
Sam
I’m not usually a fan either, but you look so chic in your jumpsuit! It has such a pretty pattern too, and I love your hair! Hope you are having a great week darling!

Super cute jumpsuit! I love the color – I’d pair it with a burgundy hat, shoes and lip!
Absolutely Gorgeous doll!!! You’re rocking this jumpsuit and I’m totally feeling this trend! They’re so Fabulous.

Not only do I dance to Jump Around, I regularly select it to rap at karaoke! I am well versed in 90′s fashion as that was my teen years (doc martens, mini backpacks and flannels anyone?) I did own a velvet jumpsuit (I called it a catsuit back then) but that was around 30 pounds ago.
You look amazing in that jumpsuit!! And you hair and simple accessories bring the whole look together! Loving this look!!
haha love the comment about jersey shore girls not wearing jumpsuits. You look so fab, love the h&m jumpsuit on you!!
you look GORGEOUS dale! jumpsuits are so hard to pull off but you do it so effortlessly. xx

I hate jumpsuits and will be avoiding them this Fall. eeeek!
That jumpsuit is something that I never would have even given a second look at, but you pull it off really well. I do have a black jumpsuit, but mostly I just can’t pull them off well
http://confessionsofabeauty-holic.blogspot.com/
i do love a good jumpsuit but only when it’s made well and worn properly.
I love the H&M jumpsuit, so pretty!!! I like jumpsuits, but gotta be made well if not they look weird!!!

Thank you for your comment, so kind of you
And I hope I have!

I’m not a big fan of the jumpsuit trend for myself, but you pull it off beautifully!! Love this look!

You look fantastic, as much as I love this trend i know it wouldn’t suit me. You wear it so well. Enjoyed browsing your blog.
Hmm I’m definitely giving a thumbs down for jumpsuits, but a tentative thumbs up for rompers. Something about the long length of that pant just doesn’t look right to me
Great post!
woww cute romper,great post xoxo

Your jumpsuit is done the “right way” you look like a queen in it
I have an animal print jumpsuit and tone it down with a black or brown cardi and keep the accessories to the minimum .
Kourtney looks way better.
That’s all.
