This is What an "A" Jumpsuit Looks Like, In Case You Were Wondering

Jumpsuits: Not to be confused with rompers, which were popular to an ungodly degree last summer. I've written before about rompers. I think they are only appropriate if you're still in diapers. It's like a sexy onesie — a sexy onesie that will drag on the floor of the public bathroom every time you have to pee outside your apartment. For example:

I also like this slouchy pale purple jumpsuit here, though I think it likely only looks good on boneracks and praying mantises:

 

ANYWAY, I think I have my Halloween costume in order for next year.
