Do you remember this Polyvore set I created?

I sold myself on the absolute necessity for a simple black jumpsuit in my wardrobe. Curse you Polyvore! 

This black jumpsuit is made out of stretch polyester and weighs quite a bit.  A cotton jersey would have been a much better choice for the fabric.  Beggars and non-sewers can’t be choosers though so I bought it anyhow (on sale).

I altered this jumpsuit by taking it in drastically on the top and then ruching the shoulders a bit to open up the neckline.

You can see in these shots the first time I wore it and styled it with the brown how the neckline was too closed for my tastes.  It made me look shorter.

Finally I styled it like this…

I think we have a winner.

It can only be warn on cooler days though and when I don’t need to move too fast, otherwise this kimono catches on everything within a three foot radius.

What do you think about the idea of a black jumpsuit? Could you see yourself wearing one?
