Jumpsuits are a HOT trend right now. I wasn't that into them until I tried (wore and loved) this one from Tart for my Encore Athens Sip & Shop (see the post and get the details here). Nikki, Encore's owner, let me choose an outfit for the evening's event and this black jersey jumpsuit was one of many items I took into the dressing room with me. It was the second outfit I tried on and I was immediately HOOKED! Jumpsuits are extremely flattering and oh-so-easy to wear! I felt great in it all evening (no tugging and pulling, no "sucking it in"! ha!). I decided to try a few more jumpsuits and I've loved them all. I now own three with three more on the way. I've decided they are going to be my "uniform" this summer! You can wear jumpsuits just about anywhere. They are super easy to dress up - with great heels (like cage sandals), statement jewelry and a belt - or dress down - with raffia wedges or t-strap sandals and bo-ho inspired jewelry. I've made jumpsuits one of my "Mz Savvy Style's Top Trends For Summer" which I shared at the Star 94/The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta Sip & Shop last Thursday night (see the full post and my Top Trends list here).
Jumpsuits and rompers are so hot right now a few of my favorite Southern Blog Society friends also featured them on their blogs today (great minds think alike, right?!) ~ Mandy of Waiting on Martha, Tiffany of Tiffany Style (she's my style soul sister!), and Jessica of My Style Vita. Looking great, girls!
So have you tried the jumpsuit/romper trend? They are a lot more wearable than you may think. Here's a few of my favorites in case you want to give them a try (I highly suggest you do! You won't be sorry!) ~

Last Thursday night I hosted a Sip & Shop at my favorite Athens boutique, Encore. I've been talking about and doing outfit posts from Encore for the past few weeks (if you missed the posts and some really fabulous outfits you can see them here, here, here, here and here). The Sip & Shop was the perfect way to celebrate a very successful collaboration! We had an amazing sweets and sips table by Lisa Formaro (it was so beautiful it stopped people in their tracks!), giveaways every hour (and some very happy winners!), a 20% discount for all attendees, and personal styling by me! We had a great turn out with everyone from friends, family, fellow bloggers, blog readers, Athens locals, regular Encore shoppers and people shopping Encore for the first time. The night was such a success that Nikki (the fabulous owner of Encore) and I are already planning our next event!! Stay tuned ~ you don't want to miss it!
Beautiful day for the Sip & Shop at Encore in downtown Athens, Georgia!
