Jump suits, Play suits

Jumpsuits are probably my favourite fashion comeback over the past 2 years. There are currently 5 hanging in my wardrobe. I love the way they can be easily paired with heals for a night out or sandals and a bikini for a day at the beach. This jumpsuit however I would have to say falls more under the 'going out' category. I got this idea from my matric dance dress. It was designed by South African duo design team Mario and Lindie and sports a similiar style top piece. Both the jumpsuit and my dress have a bit of a Grecian influence and look about them. The convenient thing about this jumpsuit and my dress are that the two front pieces of material are easily interchangeable to create a variety of styles.

the jumpsuit is made from a double sided black stretch cotton material. the external side used on the top of the garment has a smooth and shiny liquid leather like feel which gives it movement through its creation of flowing lines.  the internal side used on the shorts has a plain matt texture. total cost +/- R35
the belt is a vintage one my mom brough some 20 years ago.
