A Retro Work Wear Upgrade

New Glasses and an Old Jumpsuit Breathe New Life into my Work Wear

I wore a jumpsuit to work the other day, friends! It was absolutely liberating. My best friend recently gave it to me. Even as a blogger I still accept free clothes from friends and family! It’s part of the great circle of fashion.

As soon as I tried it on, it was hard to take off. It is comfortable and flattering. This obsession lead me to try to pull it off at work. A CEO I work with wears a jumpsuit from time to time and I think it’s the classiest thing I’ve ever seen. There is no reason we can’t have fun with our work wear.

I threw on a blazer, my trusty nude heels, a fun tassel necklace and my new glasses for an office ready look. I love these new glasses because they are a little larger. Though I shopped for the eyeglasses online with a try-on feature (so helpful!) I didn’t anticipate them looking so large. I forget I have such a small head. But, I was pleasantly surprised that they grew on me. The larger frame makes it so much easier to see–I’m farsighted. It also helps me channel my inner 70s babe.

Visit GlassesShop.com to get your own pair of work-ready glasses. Most are under $50! Better yet, use the code GSHOT50 to get 50% off on eyeglasses and sunglasses with free lenses (sale frames excluded). I’m currently hunting for some prescription sunglasses.

What’s really great about this look? I can swap out my blazer for a black leather jacket and my nude heels for black strappy ones for a night out. OR, I can slip on my flats and put my hair in a bun for an easy day of errands or traveling.

  2. Such a cute jumpsuit. I wish I could wear them, but I’m so short finding a good one is almost impossible.

      Thank you, Kari! I am short, too! So is my friend who handed this jumpsuit down. You definitely have to try them on. If you find a fit you live, head to the tailor! That is always a good bet. Thanks for stopping by, girl! Happy Hump Day!

    This jumpsuit looks GORGEOUS on you! I’m still hesitant to rock one to work, but I might give it a try (so classic with the blazer!)

      I was really surprised, Kim! If you have a blazer that is classic enough and provides some coverage on the bum, it is a lot easier to transition to the workplace. Thanks for stopping by! So glad to connect!

      I was pretty surprised how well it worked out! It was just an idea, but I hope to do it again with other jumpsuits. So glad you stopped by!
