I love a jumpsuit, and pre-'demic I had quite a few in my closet. But now, spending so much time at home, I don't have the patience for most jumpsuits. They look great on, so great I buy them even when they're difficult to deal with when using the facilities or trying to take them off when you're sweaty or wearing a belt, or all the other issues with them.
But in this life? I'd rather achieve the look of a jumpsuit while having the ease and comfort of two separate pieces. Even better when the pieces are machine washable AND UPF 50+. These two pieces are from the Chico's Zenergy line in their Neema fabric, which is not a jersey but quite stretchy. It feels more like a combination between a stretch crepe and windbreaker fabric, but with a silky finish.
If this was in before times, I'd wear this look with a pair of heels. But these days, I am happiest in a low heel or flat shoe with plenty of support. These boots are from La Canadienne and over a year old. You see them often here and on Instagram because they're buttery soft leather while also being waterproof, roomy enough to take insoles for extra arch support, and they have laces in front but a side zipper for getting them on and off easily.
As for the hair... the blow-out is temporary. I like to switch things up, and when my hair is begging for a cut and color touch-up it's my favorite time to blow out the curls and see how long my hair has gotten. I have a cut scheduled later this month so I will soon be back to my ringlets!
