I had the Britney Spears song “Circus” stuck in my head all day when I wore this shirt. The print really reminds me more of carousel animals than circus animals, but for whatever reason I found myself singing “I’m like a ringleader, I call the shots!”

OK, now I can’t think of anything else to say, because the song is back in my head. Oops, I did it again. 😉

Black jumpsuits are so chic, don’t you think? I mean, look at this one. Or that one. Well, I tried one on recently and let me tell you…it was not so chic. I looked like a mechanic at an upscale garage. Like maybe I only worked on Jaguars, but still. Not cute. The trouble with a full-length, one-piece garment is that there are so many  things that can go wrong. They have to be made long enough for tall girls, which means a lot of spare fabric for girls like me. And I wouldn’t wear a jumpsuit often enough to make it worth the cost of alterations. So I faked it. I paired black drapey pants with a waist-defining black top in a similar fabric. Voila – the look of a jumpsuit without the long bathroom breaks.
