I think I have made note recently regarding all of the above items except for the bodysuits. Bodysuits, do you remember them? A good and useful item to resurrect from the past. I love this piece for layering; it's thin and stays put. A bit hard to find lately--I have to search, but I tend to find them at dance stores. It is best under skirts; no visible lines which may show under pants.
So, do you still wear bodysuits or have you passed them over along with bell-bottoms?

I love the color and the style of this sweater...excellent!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great look on you! I am loving the cut of your skirt and what a fun, colorful shrug sweater...perfect for a pop of color and the cooler fall temperatures!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with you on bodysuits working best under skirts! I have one with embellished straps that I love for a lean, fitted, together line and look paired with the perfect skirt...like how you wore yours!

My daughter was a dancer, so for years I frequented dance stores and had lots of leotards and unitards, some of which remain in my closet. You look great in this look and I appreciate the beautiful mix of colors.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater color is perfect for Fall...love the color. I have a couple bodysuits....they drive me nuts, lol.
ReplyDeleteWin a FAB frock from Shabby Apple!!
I haven't worn a bodysuit since oh...1996? I think that's the last time they were "in". I liked how they stayed nice and sleek, but the pantylines (not to mention the pain it was to go to the bathroom!) were awful.
ReplyDeleteNice looking outfit!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that a bodysuit would have some powers similar to light-weight shapewear if you're looking for a smooth waist/hip line.
Great list for Fall! I haven't seeing any bodysuits lately but you should check Forever 21 they have a great section with 70's and 80's trend. I know because my girls drag me to Forever 21 every change they get.
ReplyDeleteLove your color combos. I think bodysuits are great if you are super skinny, but those of us with a little something extra wouldn't look so great as most are made with stretchy material and would show every roll.
ReplyDeleteI did wear them, and loved them, in my younger years.
You look fabulous, I love your bright sweater! I am not a fan of bodysuits now, they bug me : > but I wore the heck out of them when I was younger - great for staying tucked in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in Visible Monday!
The body suit looks great on you but I don't think I would like the look on me. I really love both the color and styling of your sweater. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to wear bodysuits as I have a really long torso and they always felt like I was wearing a wedgie.
ReplyDeleteYou look very lovely in your outfit. Love the colors.
I really like the blue and purple together, they are a great combination. I can't remember the last time I wore a bodysuit. I like the idea of all that smoothness, no constantly tucking a shirt in, but I think they would eventually drive me crazy because I have to go to the bathroom too often (too much water, too much coffee, oh and childbirth probably didn't help either, ha ha!).XO, Jill
ReplyDeleteHi amazing lady, looking gorgeous as usual, i am back - sorry i did not leave more comments! will be posting soon pics of NY

I love the pink cardi, the color looks great on you! And lovely accessories, I like how you layered them. It's a great idea to wear a body suit with a flared skirt, it accentuates the body shape.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog by the way! HAve a great week!

Love that cheery shade of fuschia... it's one of my new favorite shades in lipstick, too!
ReplyDeleteOH gosh, I still wear bell bottoms but no bodysuits! They were so in during the late 80's early 90's, remember? I had a hard time finding them long enough, so it's a trend I'm happy to see gone. But now that high-waisted skirts and pants are coming back they'll probably be back "in" again soon. You're a trendsetter!
ReplyDeleteI just had to laugh because I don't think I've ever seen fishnets at the top of an "essentials" list. This is why I love your outfits! So much flair and creativity.
ReplyDeleteI did have a shapewear bodysuit for awhile. It worked well!
Pam~I am loving this very snugly sweater too!
ReplyDeleteLiesl~and the pop of color is exactly what I was going for--
Judith~and the dancer body suits are much more comfortable--I've found. ps I was a dancer too!
Collette~I know what you mean on the bodysuits--it looks like a lot of people feel the way you do. I just make sure I layer my stockings over my body suit.
Sheila~I dont go to the bathroom that much so it works for me!
Rose~you are right, they are sort of like shape wear--just not as tight.
Ofelia~Welcome back~ I ran right over to your blog when I saw your comment--thanks for the tip on Forever 21--I will check it out!
Lesa~In the winter, I wear them as long underwear--so you need not be showing anypart of the bodysuit!
Patti~you are not alone in the bug dept it looks like--
Susan~sometimes I dont like the bodysuit to show tho
Debbi~lol It happens
Jill~ha ha not good for someone with frequency I'm afraid..
Ariane~Welcom back! looking forward to the pics!
Mongs~so much better than under pants really..
Vanessa~I love the color too!
Heather~I wear bells too--and like I said above, the dance bodysuits tend to be more comfortable i think
Anne~That's probably why I cant follow all those other "must have" lists! You can see how unconventional mine is!
Pam~I am loving this very snugly sweater too!
