The Culotte Jumpsuit

Topshop Culotte Jumpsuit

– Zara Mules – Zara Bag

“It is such a Sophie colour!” –

Sarah Nunn

couldn’t be more right. I’m not sure what it is about this hue but I find it totally irresistible, so when strolling through Topshops Oxford Street store early last week it was absolutely no surprise I was drawn to this jumpsuit like a moth to a burning hot culotte jumpsuit shaped flame.

It’s that difficult but mind blowing colour that simmers somewhere between a burnt orange and a poppy red, and boy does it look incredible against a tan! (Cue a trip to Superdrug to stock up on some

Cocoa Brown Extra Dark

…) 

I have reoccurring nightmares on a weekly basis that I have gone shopping and see something so perfect that gives you that panic-wave of materialistic excitement, only to discover that they have every other size but your own. Well on this shopping trip the nightmare became a reality. 

Naturally, they had a size 10, but nobody wants a bandeau style top drooping (sagging is never a pretty look) And of course then they had a size 6… But who was I kidding? Let’s just say it was no surprise that a size 6 doesn’t accommodate an E cup… But after a slight diva panic some superwoman working on the information desk came back with the last size 8 in the store. 

It’s currently in stock in all sizes

on the website

– although I really don’t think the image does the colour or the fit justice! (Not that I’m saying I’m a top model or anything…)

Topshop’s jumpsuit

game has been on another level this season. Their boned, bandeau styles are complete investment pieces. The

black bandeau jumpsuit

+ a pair of

strappy black gladiators

+ natural smokey eye and nude lip is my signature first-date outfit. Believe me, works like a charm… Unless you’ve being taken to a cheap pub, in which case you’re just going to look completely out of place… But then again, you shouldn’t go on dates with guys that take you to cheap pubs anyway.

Happy Monday!
