Y’all, I had to laugh when I started looking through today’s photos. When my sister and I shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last week, one of my bags beeped as we left the store. To figure out which bag had the issue, I held all the bags, and my sister went through the detector with one bag at a time. Once we figured it out, the clerk said it was a tag that had been left in my watch box, so he removed it, and when we left, the beeper didn’t go off. We thought we were in the clear…

Apparently, I was wrong. If you look closely at my blazer, you will see a security tag hanging underneath my hand. Since I bought this in Atlanta, it isn’t like I can go back to the store and have them remove the tag. I’m afraid to cut the tag off myself, so I guess I’ll have to return the blazer online.

Let’s start today’s Hit or Miss post by talking about this Black Utility Jumpsuit. I like this jumpsuit a lot; it kind of reminds me of a mechanics outfit but in an updated and modern way. Jumpsuits are a one-and-done item, and I have come to love them. I have learned to head to the bathroom in plenty of time to unbutton or unzip the jumpsuit, or else you might have a disaster on your hands. Lol! You can dress this up or down, and I can see many ways to wear this jumpsuit this fall. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits me great.

Here is a close-up look of the jumpsuit where you can see the pocket details and sash belt. You can always remove the belt and replace it with something different if you want. I’m wearing the Sloan Star Open Frame Earrings in Mixed Metal. I love the dangling stars and how they are in silver, gold, and rose gold. The Adeline Chain Link Necklace and the 18 Kt. Gold Vermeil Cross Necklace are two that I wear all of the time.

You can sure see the security tag in the photo. Lol! I wanted to show you how to take the black jumpsuit and style it for a fall transition look. It is an easy process; you add accessories in fallish colors. I started by adding the Plaid Double Breasted Blazer I bought from the Nordstrom Sale. If you’ve not already looked at my try-on hauls, here is the first one, and here is the second one.

Here is a photo that shows the length of the blazer. I like the longer length, and I’m glad this is the coming trend. I’m wearing a size 10; the fit is great. I’ll be able to wear it over sweaters in the fall, so I think it is the perfect fit.

I go through spells where I buy all one color. Lately, I seem to be buying lots and lots of olive green and chocolate. It is wild how your taste can change since I’ve never been a fan of either color and now I can’t get enough of them. This Sycamore Green Tote is the perfect fall transition accessory. I love the size of this tote; it is large but not so large that Petite women couldn’t carry it. I also love the wide straps that seem to stay on your shoulders.

The leather tote I’m carrying is a little pricey, so here is a similar one that is half the price. This Oversized Shopper Tote is leather, and almost the same color and size, so it’s a good choice if the other one is out of your budget range.

Okay, y’all, these Tassel Platform Loafers are not something I would usually pick. I didn’t even pick these, Franco Sarto sent them to me to try, and I’m surprised that I like them. My sister wears shoes like this, so I sent her a photo of these to show her what I had gotten.

The platform lug sole is youthful and modern-looking, and I see a lot of women wearing this style, but I had never tried it. These are out of my comfort zone, but I think they are a pair I’m going to like, especially with jeans that are a little long. These are my regular size 9, and they are a little loose, but once I put on a pair of socks, they should fit fine.

I purchased the Chocolate Protein Powder that we use all of the time, Joe a Brown Leather Dress Belt, and a Stretch Belt for him in Brown and Black. Somehow, the Ninja 14pc Knife Block Set and Ninja Kitchen System ended up in my cart. Lol! I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m betting my daughter had something to do with it.

Be sure to check out the Lightning Deals. Those are steep discounts on items with a limited amount of inventory. The deal will only last for a specific amount of time, so you have to act fast if you want them.

  1. My first thought was frumpy!!! Not a look I would go for!!!

  2. Teresa Grint says:

    Definitely a miss! I think it’s the cropped pant length and the chunky shoes! I think the shoes are a trend and won’t be around for long. Invest in a classic loafer!

  3. I would wear it for sure. You look great and the shoes are on trend for fall.

  4. Ginger Hiller says:

    I like the jumpsuit! Blazers and chunky shoes don’t fit my personal style, so I would wear a jean jacket or cardigan sweater over it, and I’m not sure about the shoes. I wore my jumpsuit last week to Larry’s cancer appointment, which is one hour away. I tinkled right before we walked out the door. I barely made it in the bathroom stall before it would be too late, so I know what you mean. However,I’m still love wearing that jumpsuit!

  5. Josephine Riddle says:

    Miss for me. I think the jumpsuit and blazer might have worked well together if the jumpsuit had not been cropped. The shoes are a HARD NO, any where, with anything. I seldom vote miss on any of these posts, but this one truly warranted it.

  6. This entire outfit is a miss for me. I think the bagginess of the outfit is not flattering and the clunky shoes are definitely for the very much younger crowd. I prefer clothing that is not tight fitting, but fit closer to the body.

  7. Melesa Garrison says:

    Tania, I had that happen to me before with the tag. I just took my item to a near by clothing store and asked if they would take it off and they did.

  8. Tania, LOVE all your posts but this entire outfit is a miss for me. All the black is too harsh and the shoes are way too clunky for the jumpsuit. I prefer you in more tailored clothing to show off your weight loss. You look best in more colorful clothing but understand wanting to have something different to wear in your closet. Thanks for showing us ladies all the beautiful outfits throughout the year and the great tips about fashion.

  9. You are so slim and trim, but this outfit (and shoes) are too bulky. It’s a miss!

  10. Have Joe use the wire cutters on the tag. It works. Like the jacket, not so much the jumpsuit.
