How playful is the playsuit?

How playful are playsuits, overalls or jumpsuits? Whatever you call them, they all have one thing in common, they are one of the most impractical fashion items EVERRRR! Oh, how boring of me to point this out, but they are! It is essentially a piece of clothing adapted for adults from children's wear and I bet most parents would probably agree they are even a pain in the arse for kids! Why the recent onslaught on a piece of clothing that is essentially a onesie? Probably because, in a moment of weakness in the sales I bought another pair. No, I am obviously not content with struggling with just one pair, so I decided to buy a pair of green leather ones as well. Now I don't regret this buy, not for a minute, and what is good for Alexa Chung or Lendra Medine (man repeller) is certainly good for me. But I always seem to forget while in the changing rooms, posing in the mirror or while happily handing over my card at the till just how time consuming this item actually is. Okay, you may be confused at this point, your probably thinking 'its a pair of overalls, what is her problem, like a dress they are easy to style, you can layer it with other items, pop a simple t-shirt or jumper underneath and your good to go'. But thats where you would be wrong and where I seem to go wrong. There is a hell of a lot of maintenance that goes in to this item of clothing. I shall begin (cough). Number one; the strap length issue... Too tight/short and you can suddenly hit a higher note and have a lovely camel toe (sorry) to complement your new singing prowess, if however, the straps are too loose/long you look like you have 3 breasts, sort of like the lady out of Total recall (the 1990's version). Then there is the whole toilet situation as you have to practically get undressed to go. I often find myself pre-empting when I possibly might need to urinate, call me a loser, but really, you cant do the last minute dash, its a full on bondage experience getting in and out, I am talking 10mins at least! Maybe playsuits, overalls, jumpsuits whatever you call them are the real reason for female water infections... Nice thought I know, but the amount of times I have crossed my legs a little tighter when wearing a playsuit to avoid the toilet undressing saga, well lets just say, I have lost count. And if that last point wasn't enough to put you off entirely, I have one final point. There is the not so graceful rearranging of yourself every time you decide to sit down, the whole... pulling and tugging at every area, definitely not a good look. After all thats said and done I still love them. I just feel velcrow jumpsuits would probably go down a lot better. Im feeling a sort of, superman, rip them off in one go sort of thing. Maybe, after reading this back, I am simply lazy.

Painter and Decorator

Last night I decided to wear my favourite painter and decorator outfit (I mean overalls)and headed out for cocktails with my girlfriends. I honestly could wear my overalls all the time they are so versatile. I have to rein myself in when I'm shopping so I don't buy any more. Seriously, I would be walking around like an adult baby 24/7.  
I hope you enjoy your weekend.

The 'C' Word

As soon as I type the word 'comfortable' I'm tempted to delete it. It just conjures up images of tracksuit bottoms and most certainly means its  doomed in the eyes of the fashion elite. What 'doomed' item am I talking about? Dungarees (overalls). Yes, that's right, the item of clothing you used to dread being sent to school in (those damn buckles and my small bladder). But, now I am a grown up who has mastered my fine motor skills and bladder I bloody love them! Not only do overalls give me a sense of achievement every time I make it to the toilet in time, they also make you look taller/slimmer. They are quite literally fashionable control pants. So, this blog post reads like an advertisement for Tena lady. 
Here's the final cherry on top of this largely bladder related fashion post and the only criticism I have with the item; pull those straps a little to high and you run the risk of running into another forbidden fashion word...'Camel toe'. I can just imagine your face grimacing at the screen as you read the dreaded word... sorry.
Enjoy the pics and try to loose the image of my camel toe (I joke, those pictures have been deleted!)

P.s The wind was blowing up a storm hence the variety of blustered faces I am pulling. Honestly, the overall straps had been loosened by then and have no relation to the pained look on my face.
