Back in Black
Hey y'all! Man it is finally starting to C-O-L-D, COLD! The past few weeks I have been complaining about the weather and how it wasn't "fall-like" enough. Then outta nowhere, bam! It is Winter and I am in the house freezing with heaters, slippers, sweaters and extra hot coffee!
Any way, I was going through my blog seeing how I should plan out my next few blog posts and how I could really step it up in some topics. I feel like all I have been talking about lately is my family life lol. And there is so much more to me than just that!
I actually realized I never posted a few style looks I had planned to share from several months ago!! AHH Talk about a headache! I had all my photos edited, favorited and planned out but they have never seen the light of day.. until now that is!
One more thing... if you feel like I am slacking on a topic, let me know! I LOVE hearing feedback from readers, googlers and those that check in on me from time to time. It really shows me how far I reach and also if I am giving you ideas or motivating you!
So now, here we go!
How awesome is this jumpsuit!
I picked this little number up from Ross at a super affordable price. I was never one to really care for Ross or stores like them. I always felt like they sold dated items or older grandma style clothes once you get to a certain size. I really never had an enjoyable shopping experience until I went and found this item! This black jumpsuit is so comfortable! I love that it has breathable fabric and the cuts shape me nicely.
I was a little hesitant to even try it on at first. I mean, I'm not the most body confident person, and I tend to over analyze everything I put on! Does it make me look wider, can you see my lumps, does it make me look round? All of these questions and a gazillion more circle my head when trying something on! But I really love the way this jumpsuit fits me!
I also love the details of this jumpsuit. The large keyhole style back and the mesh plunging neckline are perfect for me! I try to keep as modest as possible, but I don't want to look like the Amish. I have always loved the way plunging necklines looked but I was always afraid of too much cleavage. This neckline has a dark enough mesh fabric to keep me covered but still add a little "oh-la-la" to my look!
This jacket was another surprise! It is Gucci! lol nah just kidding... it is actually from Old Navy! I know right?? How amazing and stylish is this brocade jacket! It is thick enough to keep me warm when it gets chilly but light enough to wear at an event. You know sometimes jackets will either be to light or too heavy and they will instantly change once you are indoors!
I know I have talked about these shoes before! They are one of my favorite pairs! These are vintage YSL and they are definitely more comfortable than they look. They are actually a dark navy but from a distance they look black. I found these hidden on a clearance rack at Nordstrom!
Here is a close up of some of my accessories I paired with it as well as a glimpse of the neckline. I also have a gold band bracelet as well. You can see it in the photos above! These rings were from my happy place, Forever 21 and the bracelet is from Target (my other happy place).
What do you think of my look? Do you shop at Ross or similar stores? What was the best thing you have found there?! Let me know in the comments below!

I think I used to shop at Ross sometimes. Now I mainly shop at Thrift stores! It's kind of fun digging through everything. I think the jumpsuit looks amazing on you! And believe me, I understand about having stuff ready to go on the blog and then just. . . .life gets in the way!
ReplyDeleteI love thrift stores too! I love finding hidden treasures and deals!
DeleteWow...you look so stunning in this black dress. For me also black is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteAs women, we are all a bit too harsh on ourselves. You look great in this jumpsuit and jacket, it's a great combination! Love it! I haven't shopped at Ross, but I do love TJ Maxx (and it seems like they're similar type stores)!
ReplyDeleteTJ Maxx is on my list as well! They are very similar! Thank you so much :)
DeleteI love this Jumpsuit! Black clothes are everything! And Love how you styled it with this pretty jacket too
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I love black as well!
DeleteBlack jumpsuit looks so good on you and you styled it perfectly with jacket. Black is my fav too but I have not been on a particular brand.
ReplyDeleteThank you Indra! That is so sweet :)
DeleteThis Black jumpsuit looks really nice and have been thinking to get one for myself too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is so comfortable too!
DeleteYou look great in jumpsuit and the brocade jacket is enhancing the overall look. Just a perfectly stylish look for winter season.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI have never really shopped at Ross or bought a jumpsuit. I'm honestly just not the biggest fan of the jumpsuit for myself.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't at first either. Once I tried it on, I felt like a different person :).
DeleteBlack is such an elegant colour to wear, and you look awesome in your outfit! I also love how open you are to feedback, that's a great quality in a blogger.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
DeleteYou look lovely in this outfit, it really suits you. It looks a bit warmer to go out in at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It actually has been pretty "warm" compared to normal.Mostly in the upper 50's and low 60's.
DeleteThe jacket adds such a nice touch to the black suit! It's a great look for you and so versatile!
ReplyDeleteThank you!I really appreciate your words!
DeleteBlack is always a good idea! It's classy and elegant. This jumpsuit is a jackpot and I must say I'm crazy about that blazer!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a total steal!
DeleteI’ve never been to Ross, nor worn a jumper. But I love this, especially the key hole in the back.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely a first for me lol. I love that aspect too!
DeleteThis Black jumpsuit is great for you. I like the way you mix with brocade jacket, looks very luxurious. I have heard of Ross and many of my friends have shopped there.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Minh! It is definitely a new place for me to shop!
