Must Be the One Jumpsuit

It was a beautiful day on Saturday and I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable, yet classy. I have always wanted a jumpsuit. Yeah, I like all kinds of style. I can never stick to just one since the fashion world is like riding a roller coaster. So it just kind of depends on what I am feeling that day. Then what I wear will be based on that! I am pretty sure I am not any different than most or maybe all the women out there. The very first jumpsuit that I saw and fell in love with was at Target. It was a black Mossimo Women's Rolled Sleeve Jumpsuit. 





The main reason why I fell in love with this jumpsuit is the sleeves. I get so frustrated with clothes now days because they are either sleeveless, too short, or you can see right through them. And I am always taken aback by the prices on these clothes. And I can't begin to understand how expensive it can be when it looks like a torn piece of garment. That is why I would rather shop for clothes at thrift stores or yard sales. It is only at these places where I have been able to find modest inexpensive clothes. The jumpsuit above was $29.99!!! There is no way I would spend that much on a pair of jumpsuit. I would rather spend that much for 4 of them and few other items. Haha! I am cheap, I know! It's funny that I say this. I wasn't like this 5+ years ago. Back then I could shop till I was broke. I also shopped for brand name clothes. And that explains it all! I would laugh inside when my husband makes a comment about my closet and the amount of clothes I have accumulated. He would also make remarks about my shopping spree. I remember one year a few days before my birthday he asked me what I would want besides clothes. I told him he asked the wrong question. He started shaking his head because he knew that it will never change. There are times I wish he would've just known how I was before. Because "honey, if I was who I was before, you would need five jobs! Be glad that I shop at thrift stores and yard sales for clothes!" Haha. Nah, Ethan is great! He actually find great surprises for me when he is out thrifting. I told him I wanted a Michael Kors purse and he got me one...at a thrift store! But hey, I love it! It is an old Michael Kors handbag. I'll take it because it is old school, was cheap and I don't think I have seen anyone with the style of purse I have. So kudos to Ethan :D
Ethan continues to find me good stuff! He found my first jumpsuit outfit! Isn't he the greatest? Of course, it was bought at a thrift store. I have not worn it yet because I want to change it up a little. It is one of my DIY projects and I will post about it once I get it done. But remember the church yard sale I posted about a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, I found one there in one of my favorite color--BLUE! 


Here it is!!! Not the greatest pictures but I tried my best :)

It was so comfortable and I just put a black cardigan over it since I still need to make some changes on the sleeves. Guys, I am telling you...you can find a lot of great clothes thrifting! So this jumpsuit probably cost me $0.05 since I filled a whole bag full of clothes for $2! This must be the one jumpsuit since I received a lot of great compliments about it :)
