Happy Monday, lovers! Now that the weather has been sunny and lovely, I was so excited to wear a jumpsuit. You know I love a jumpsuit. When my friends over at Nami Boutique in Atlanta gave me this fiery red orange jumpsuit, I was instantly obsessed. Let’s count the ways…

First off, it’s off the shoulder. I love the off the shoulder trend. It’s feminine and chic and looks great on an everyday cotton short or dressy satin date night dress. There’s something about showing your shoulders that’s so sexy without being too much. With a jumpsuit like this, because of the color I would wear it for date night with Hubs or a speaking engagement (which I did for Black Tech Week Office Hours in Miami) where I knew I’d be photographed. The color just pops. Because the color is so in your face, I opted for my go to snakeskin pumps. The black and white pattern against the red orange contrasts beautifully in photos (and in real life, too!) For a look like this, I didn’t want a huge tote or satchel to hide the awesomeness of this one piece. So, I decided to pair it with an olive crossbody bag. Olive has neutral tendencies in my opinion, so against this very loud color, it works.

It’s pouring outside now, but everytime I look at this jumpsuit, I think about the sun and awesome weather spring usually brings. Don’t be surprised if you see this jumpsuit on my blog, Instagram and Snapchat quite a few times this season. It’s too good to only wear once!
