How to Create a Jumpsuit + Style it for Fall

Even though summer is over, one can still wear a jumpsuit in the fall too! Surprisingly, I don't actually own a jumpsuit (or some may call it a playsuit).  The reason why I don't own one is that I couldn't find one that I loved and that fit me well and so I decided to create my own. The thing that I love about creating your own jumpsuit is that you can re-wear the top and bottom separately with different clothes creating more outfits/looks!  So if you want to find out a few tips on how you can create a jumpsuit and style it for fall click through to find out.

How to Plan Your Outfits for Any Occasion

 

I was initially planning to do a Part II Date Night look for this outfit based on my previous post here, but then I started thinking that we all have moments of "I have nothing to wear" or moments where we are lacking creativity when we are putting outfits together (I must admit I am guilty of both sometimes).  And I think getting dressed should be fun whether your going out with girlfriends, hanging out with family or going on a date with your loved one!

What to Wear for a Fall Date Night

 As you may notice from my previous post, where I talked about how to wear summer clothes into fall, I am still trying get away with wearing as much summer clothes as I can. I think this outfit is a perfect look for a date night, whether it is a romantic dinner or a simple art gallery visit and a stroll...this floral print dress is pretty yet romantic especially with the lace bralet showing a bit.  Even though I am still aiming towards a minimalist vibe, I feel the pink is a hint of color but not too overpowering.  Another thing that I love about this dress making it a little more casual is the high to low hem and the loose flow of the dress.  All-in-all a winner in my books!
