I finally got my last look from Kansas City Fashion Week up on the blog today! I know it's been like two weeks since the show, but I just loved this outfit and wanted to give you all the details...better late than never right!?! ! Before the show I headed to the ULTA Media Party and sipped on gorgeous cocktails and snacked on some of the best appetizers EVER! It was such a fun party before the show!
I knew it would be an action packed night and a jumpsuit is the perfect trendy piece to wear and still feel confident and comfortable.

5 Tips for Wearing a Jumpsuit:
*Add a Jacket - A sleek blazer or leather jacket can really bring the whole look together and make you feel more confident. I don't like my arms so I always like to add jackets to my looks.
*Choose Black - Black is a classic and when I first tried the jumpsuit trend I went with a color I knew would be versatile and functional in my existing wardrobe. I might venture into a patterned jumpsuit later in the summer.
*Loose fitting Fabrics - Choose a jumpsuit with a more forgiving fabrication. A tight fitting jumpsuit makes you feel more constricted and less comfortable, instead go with a looser fitting flowy fabric. This will be much more appealing when wearing it in the warmer summer months as well.
*Dress it up! Add accessories and a pretty belt to your jumpsuit like I did for fashion week! It can make a huge difference how you feel about the look once you add accessories.
*It's all about that length - The jumpsuit I wore to fashion week had a
fitted leg, which for me was important because I am short, so finding a
looser wide legged jumpsuit in a short enough length without getting it altered as been
a challenge for me. In general, a good rule
to follow is to allow the pant length to reach your ankles. If the legs of your
jumpsuit are a wide legged version make sure the bottom just barely touches the ground
but doesn't make it hard for you to walk.
I hope these tips help you find the perfect jumpsuit! Don't be afraid to give this trend a try, it really can be a flattering look on almost any body shape! If you have more questions for wearing jumpsuits let me know, I'd love to help!
