Technically, I first wore this outfit to a costume party — Studio 54 themed, no less. But how much of a costume could it really be, if I’ve been dying to wear it in real life?
I’d been obsessing over the Motel Jet Playsuit ever since I saw it on Poshmark months ago. I was bummed that it had sold, but continued to be on the lookout. It was in the back of my mind as I learned the details of this ’70s themed party. Jumpsuits and rompers have such a retro glam vibe — perfect for Studio 54! And after a little digging, I finally found it on NastyGal; it was luckily delivered the day before the event {see: disco miracle}.
The balloon sleeve, deep v and playsuit elements paired with the faux fur chubby jacket are my idea of ’70s glam. I felt like Bianca Jagger — minus the white horse — and loved every minute of it! I also wore a huge rhinestone comb in my hair, pulling back one side of deep side part. Yes.
A note about the fit
I’m wearing a Small, and probably could have gone with an XS and been fine. At the time of purchase I was worried about it being too short and tight in the booty. I wanted it to fit kind of flowy. Size Small was fine, just used fashion tape the night of the event to make sure top was secured into place. Worked like a charm, and was even able to wear a regular bra.
Jumpsuits and rompers for holiday
Despite it’s costume introduction, I’m pretty sure this is the epitome of the holiday season for me. Jumpsuits and rompers will definitely make a statement, but don’t feel too flashy. A perfect alternative to sequins and sparkle if you’re looking to go a different route for your holiday parties this season. Though I did see this same playsuit in a sequin variation, so cute!
PS: This exact romper is on sale at NastyGal! Swoop on it quick!
