Jumpsuit Week-Day Two

Who knew a beige and white polyester jumpsuit would prove so difficult to photograph? I have beige walls and carpet inside the house, and the outdoor siding is also a lovely shade of beige! We found a spot of still green grass and did our best.
The funny thing is, I look okay in beige-just not against any of the backgrounds at home.

Outfit Particulars:
1970's polyester jumpsuit-Goodwill
Vintage Spanish made shoulderbag-Salvation Army
Vintage brooch (on zipper pull)-Goodwill
Vintage clip earrings-Hand-Me-Ups
Boots-K Mart
Fragrance-Vintage formulation Emeraude

 I'll be back tomorrow with something a bit more colourful.
Stay groovy.

  4. You really rock a jumpsuit Goody, you look fabulous. I love this jumpsuit; sometimes a bit of beige is just perfect. I love the gold accessories with it. Looking forward to Jumpsuit number 3...

  5. I do get a kick out of just how fabulous beige can be sometimes, given that it is usually so awful & so dull. This is way cool! You look stunning. Love the brooch, too.

  7. I have just done a massive catch up and read of your posts. Jumpsuits! Hmm, wore them when I was younger, and the short version seems to be all the rage with the young girls at the moment. I was loving the denim one until I read your garage attendant comparison. No I like it still, I had a light denim style one, think the fabric was called Chambray. How do you feel about your new President? Quite the surprise.

  8. Putting a brooch on a zipper pull is a great idea. Beige does look good on you. (How can you look fab in both cobalt blue *and* beige? It shouldn't be possible.)

    With such a plain print I thought a brooch might perk things up a bit.

    @Bibi
    I remember people wearing jumpsuits in the city as well...they just wore them differently. I can't quite put my finger on how it was different, but it was (maybe transformed by platform shoes and large hoop earrings?)

    @Vix
    Thank you. I'm willing to endure bear attacks to keep the blog interesting ;)

    @Veronica
    Thank you. Beige gets a bad reputation, but I'm finding I can wear it easily as I age.

    @Radostin
    I think the wild print helps keep it from being boring.

    @Cee
    Aw, you ain't seen nothing yet. The horrors of my wardrobe are limitless.

    @Sue
    I loved chambray-a soft, wearable denim. I'll bet you looked rockin' in your jumpsuit.

    It wasn't that much of a surprise to anyone paying attention. The pollsters missed it, but those of us in "Flyover" country saw it coming.

    @Mim
    Now that my hair is going grey I seem to be able to wear a wider range of colours. Still can't manage pastels without looking embalmed though. I wish I could wear green as well as you do.

  10. That's a fab jumpsuit, and I love the idea of the brooch at the zipper pull. I find it difficult to photograph any colour inside at this time of year ... xxx
