    Hello gorgeous CC, hope all is well with you.

    I adore the idea of 'unionsuits', and especially well-crafted ones. The Ferragamo one is calling out to me. Yum!

    Hope you have a fantastic weekend, and happy easter :)

    I am on the fence with the unisuit. I feel like all great fashion ideas it can go totally great and totally wrong. I think girls should really be inclined to find one that works with their body. I do love the one with the shorts...the purple one.

    one thing: i don't know it is just my screen or Blogger's glitch but your text and pictures are separated. Like all the text in one column and images will just pack together. Sometimes make it hard to indicate which is which!

    i feel like these are risky to wear (the long pant ones) because it can either look great or terrible! i have been looking for a romper for so long.

    Rompers/Onepieces weren't that popular this past summer here, so i couldn't really experiment with them. I'd love to see them around next spring/summer to see what i can do with them. They seem so comfortable!

    hmm.. a one piece would look a little silly on me (I'm sure the right one would look okay though) but they look fab on the models!

    & thanks for the tip about what to eat after the gym, I will try a protein bar next time.

    I remember looking at this post before but can't remember if I commented or not. Just wanted to note how AWESOME a good jumpsuit is-- I've been on the onesie wagon for a while now, and am glad to know this makes me fashionable and not a grandma. Not that the two are mutually exclusive.
