shortsuit, jumpsuit, playsuit, onesie, romper…
tomato, tomahto… whatever it’s called. i think i want one. i wasn’t really sure about it until i saw this one at michael williamson SS07:
ok, yeah so she’s 8 feet tall and 75% legs, but i think it would make me feel like a really chic, sophisticated toddler. just what i need with my 30th birthday approaching. of course, i better not drink too many liquids because i’ll have to get half-naked in order to relieve myself. which is awesome.
unfortunately, a decent shortsuit that is actually orderable in double-digit US or canadian dollars is eluding me at the moment. forever 21 has this one which i’m not too keen on. has anyone found a good one? i like the blouson and more understated styles like these:
mike & chris jake shortsuit on sale for $159
society for rational dress zipper jumper on sale for $110
short-sleeved playsuit by topshop 38BP
ok, so that last one isn’t really that sophisticated, but i’m a total sucker for buttons, what can i say?
so, what do you think? can you buy into this madness? yeah or nay?
EDIT: this most likely inspired this post because i absolutely adore this onesy from lola y marie:
but i couldn’t remember where i’d seen it before! so chic! it was on shopalicious for 20% off! thanks, Lisa!
ANOTHER EDIT: the fusion boutique to the rescue AGAIN! mai just bought a couple of adorable jumpers, a cheeky plaid one at $29.99 and a romantic floral culottes version at $19.99! wicked!
20% off with "painfullyhip" discount code!

I’m hooked on these jumpsuit things too! The most sophisticated one I’ve found that doesn’t look toddler-ish so far is this one:

It’s a little pricey, but the 20% coupon helps a little.
I love your blog, by the way!
best, Lisa

That’s how you spell culottes!

I have a similar one to the grey topshop one you’ve pictured (its from topshop), and it is fantastic! Black ankle length leggings and ballet flats by day, and big belt and brown heels for a 50s look at night. I adore it. Definitely do.
