Why I am anti-jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are pretty cute.


Definitely not me anytime soon. But super cute!

But they're also the most impractical thing on earth.

1. Bathroom incompatibility. You have to strip down to go to the washroom. Strip. Down. I'm sorry, I have other things to do than get naked every time I drink too much Orangina. This is also the worst thing possible for travel in general, and squat toilets in particular. (Think Turkey and China).

2. Transient presence in modern wardrobe. If you're trend-conscious (which this blog does NOT advocate - if you're getting a jumpsuit only because it's trendy, then you probably also own Uggs, and Crocs, and a velour sweatsuit, in which case, we have a long journey ahead of us), this trend is on its way out. Then you'll be left with a rendition of something you'll probably never wear again, except for gym class.


I bought a gorgeous Club Monaco jumpsuit the other week, thinking I could convince myself to wear it on a regular basis. Let's just say I returned it after one day. Not a good choice. Nope.

If you can thrift one for under $10, though - give me a minute.
