Jumpsuited and Booted
This week’s style session: how to winter-proof and whoop up the jumpsuit. Two birds, one stone. Now, I know there are several readers out there yet to be converted to the joy of the jumpsuit, and so I’d like to share my theory on faffage: consider the time saved getting dressed in the morning as a trade-off for the extra time needed to visit the loo. It works for me. This cosy, navy corduroy boiler suit is from Kate Sheridan, and to winter draft-proof, just add ankle boots and an old Liberty print silk scarf. When jumpsuited I often layer a striped t-shirt underneath to avoid a Beast from the East-style blast every time I visit the bathroom. Though this season I’m considering going one further with a jersey polo neck top. The Casual Glamourpuss in me loves MiH’s tiger print turtle neck and Uniqlo is good for plain polo necks in a range of colours, both compacted cotton and ribbed jersey. Other corduroy all-in-ones can be found at Spry Workwear and MiH Jeans – and Boden has a velvet onesie. Whoop things up with Showbiz Boots, the poppy red suede pair above are from LK Bennett.
A note on profanities: I noticed that Grazia this week reports that campaigners in North London have won the fight to ban swearing during performances at Wireless Festival. The magazine’s editorial says, ‘No one likes a potty mouth…but censoring music festivals is not very rock and roll.’ We live in a divided world…

Oh, this I love! Even at my great age I’ve just treated myself to a onesie in the sales and plan to wear a polo neck top underneath, plus my trusty cowboy boots.
Incidentally, Alyson, I’m hoping this comment will get through. My last two replies have never appeared and I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong. It’s not like I’m a new correspondent, just an infrequent one! And I was respectful and kind, honest!
