Please, you’re not that surprised to see me in a onesie again, are you? If you’ve been around a minute, you know I don’t shy away from a jumpsuit– not even when it’s hunter green and paisley.
I found this crosshatch print one-piece at Nordstrom, and immediately started scheming ways t0 make it work a) during the winter and b) at the office. I know that come summer I’ll wear this number out with stiletto sandals and not much else, but it needs another layer right now in order to fly while it’s winter. I kept the additions simple because the jumpsuit is already pretty busy: a black blazer and black pumps.
The material is silky (polyester done right) and feels like dressy jammies– no joke. Talk about being cozy. The only downside to wearing this in the winter is that it’s too thin against the bitter cold (so I chose to wear it on a day that wasn’t in the single digits).
I did get a few side glances at the office, but I think people now mostly just expect me to turn up wearing something a little ridiculous.
Switching topics, a bit of a furry announcement: making her debut on the blog is our newest pup, Scout. She’s two pounds of rat terrier terror. (I’m only half-joking about the terror bit; she’s already learned how to escape from her kennel and has managed to scale the couch to leave a present on the back cushion.)
So if you were wondering why there are bags under my eyes, blame Scout, whose tiny useless bladder insists on being emptied about every three hours. (It’s okay, she’s a total snuggle bug and the cutest girl ever, so we’ll forgive her.) See more snaps of Scout on my Instagram.
Is everyone enjoying their holiday week? I’m off work until the new year and am going to use the time off to teach Scout to sit, power through a stack of magazines waiting to be read, and host a little NYE get-together (which also happens to be my birthday). Happy almost-New Year, everyone!
Linking up today with My Fashion Forward Blog and Style Elixir.
You’re right- I’m NOT surprised to see you in a one-piece! LOL! But you look so cute!

You come up with some really awesome outfits based around slightly quirky items. I would see this in the store and think it was a summer outfit- like for girl’s night out or something- but you see it as that AND working in the winter at work. So creative! Love your style, and wishing you a very happy Christmas season.
Gorg! Rocking it. 🙂
I love Scout already! I can’t wait to see more pics of her!
Merry Christmas, Ashley! Hope you had a good time with the family and have an awesome birthday!
You look beautiful and polished. I love the romper on you!
Muy bonito mono!!! Precioso cachorro.

Great post and happy holidays!
I’m loving this outfit for you! So chic and really cool, it’s classic with a twist!
OMG We have a Scout too! And he is a terror as well! But he is a giant half lab/ half dalmatian mix and he is BAD to the bone. Your Scout is so tiny and precious! Love the jumpsuit. You look adorable. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I am jealous you are off until after New Years, cause I am at work today. BOO!

Oh my gosh she’s adorable!! And so are you in this outfit. I think the simple, classic pumps really helped tone down the jumpsuit too.
Exactly my thoughts- keep everything else simple/classic, so the jumpsuit has the chance to shine, and the look doesn’t become too much for the office. 🙂 Happy almost New Year!
This is so far my favorite look on you, you look stunning, that jumpsuit is so so pretty!
And don’t let me start about that adorable little puppy, so tiny and cute! XO
