Black Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit (old, almost identical here, here) | GiGi New York clutch | Tory Burch earrings | Jack Rogers 

When my mom threw this jumpsuit over the dressing room door at South Moon Under, I gave her a big fat "NO." But...mom's always know best...don't they?

A lot of my favorite pieces end up in my closet by going a little something like this: my mom suggesting a piece, I say I can't pull it off, she tells me to "humor her" and try it on, I end up loving it...you get the gist. I had never even tried on a jumpsuit (or a romper, for that matter) before trying this on and I could not get over how COMFY it was. I would be lying if I said I didn't strategically wear this to my birthday dinner back in June (because this girl can pack in the Mexican food). The waistband is so stretchy and comfortable...so I should probably wear it on Thanksgiving, too.

I wore this jumpsuit again this past week for dinner/drinks with a dear friend. Her and I were going to a pretty casual bar, but I still wanted to look put together. So, to dress down my look, I kept it simple by pairing it with gold dangle earrings (Mom, I promise I'll give them back before I go back to school), my gold class ring, a bright clutch and tried-and-true Jack Rogers navajos.

 Has your mother ever influenced your style? I hope you are having a great start to the week!
