The gray bodysuit is back with an 80s twist.

I’m starting to re-introduce jeans to the regular outfit rotation as fall inches closer. (But only on days where it’s actually cool enough!) This day temps were in the mid-70s, which was perfect to mix and match some summer and fall pieces. A gray bodysuit (last seen here) brought the warm weather feel and the 80s-style mom jeans worked in a bit of fall.
Mom jeans can be a bit tricky to style. There’s just a lot of fabric around the torso + pelvic area, which can create a hard-to-dress panel of denim. I combat this by wearing a fitted top (or bodysuit, rather) and defining the waist with a belt. (An on-trend snakeskin belt is a good choice; I like this one and this one.)
The legs of these jeans are a straight cut, which can also prove difficult. Adding the illusion of length is key for me, so I added a pair of gray suede sandals with a nice stacked heel. If you think you can’t wear a straight leg, grab a shoe with some height and see if that doesn’t fix the issue.
Shop the look:
I’m still really loving this initial necklace I found on Etsy. It’s a dupe for a more expensive version that’s always sold out at Nordstrom. I love layering it with other dainty gold necklaces, but it definitely works worn on its own.
And if you’re wondering what I wear under this bodysuit (because it is pretty thin + low-cut), I use boob tape. Cover the nips, lift, and tape! I use Perky Pear and the tape has really come in handy with tricky tops and dresses that have complicated or low-cut necklines.
Hope everyone has a good week ahead!

You look very chic and fresh in this. Great jeans! I like how you paired it with a grey top and matching heeled sandals.
Straight leg jeans do look great with a bit of heel.
Have a great week ahead.
Such a chic pairing!

I love this classic styling, Ashley! And yes, mom jeans do add a bit of extra stuff around the middle that no mom needs! So pairing a fitted top or bodysuit is definitely the way to go. And high heels solve so many problems, don’t they?! Super cute outfit, my friend. Thanks for linking.

I love a good pair of mom jeans and yours are so good! I love the way you’ve styled them with the grey tank, pop of snakeskin and grey sandals. It creates such a nice cohesive flow and giving all the fall vibes; beautiful babe! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Great transitional look! I’m trying to hold off on jeans for as long as I can, but they might need to come out soon. Love your necklace, and that you found it on etsy, that is my go-to for jewelry, especially when the seller accepts custom requests.
I love the bodysuit with the belt and light jeans. You look great! I have been intereted in getting a body suit since last year!
thanks for linking!
