Onsie: Practical

So when I bought my onsie, I never thought I could put such a practical outfit together. I like this outfit because the onsie alone is kind of sexy, but when I cover up the plunging neckline with a fall scarf and put some tights on, it looks more like a romper or jumper than something sexy and impractical...it does doesn't it? Doesn't it???

Day to Night Outfit

Day outfit: I am wearing my onsie underneath a stretchy pencil skirt with tights and with a cardigan over it to make it appropriate for work.
Night outfit: I took off the pencil skirt and the cardigan and could add some statement jewelry to make it dressy for an evening out.

How do you like my transitional outfit? Does it work?

Disclaimer: My hair looks crazy because it was the end of the day, please excuse. 

Don't fear the onsie

Anything that looks like it is made from the same piece of material is something I used to avoid like the plague. I mean the sheer physics of it are enough to scare away my simple mind. And the fact that when I was younger, I was traumatized by wearing shirts that buttoned at the crotch just so they would look tucked in. But, as you have seen on this blog before, onsies have actually become...kind of sexy.

I don't want you to get the wrong idea and for you to run around like a hot mess in a cheap imitation. So please, follow the rules. If you are going to buy a onsie, buy a classy one. The cheap ones are not as nice. Trust me, I have looked. They end up making you look like a blast from the past, but not in a good way.

Look for a detail that makes it current. For instance, this one has a ruffle halter detail that is very contemporary.

Also, if you are going to buy a nice one, try to find it on sale. This one from Urban Outfitters was originally $70, marked down to $35, marked down to $18. It was magical, like a onsie fairytale. Good luck with your onsie search!
