my favorite leisure suit (normal people call them rompers or jumpers)

when they started flying off the racks earlier this year, i wasn’t so sure i’d be a leisure suit kinda girl. but after finding one by prairie new york in an awesome blue and yellow anchor print – same print, different colors than pictured – i was a changed woman. i consider it my casual weekend leisure suit and i can say with confidence that it is one of the things i’ve worn most often this summer. super comf, light stretch jersey silk, nice fit, lots of compliments.

and i’m super excited that prairie new york – one of my faves – is going to be on hautelook tomorrow (weds 7.8)! the sale starts at 11am eastern and includes a number of exclusive styles and colors with the prairie new york signature elements – lots of embellishments, rosettes and stones. rumor has it this may be our only chance to get these particular styles and colors, so needless to say i’ll be waiting at the computer at 10:59am with the mouse in one hand and my fingers crossed on the other. let me know if you need a hautelook invite and i’ll hook it up asap!

p.s. i cannot take credit. thanks, martha, for renaming rompers “leisure suits”.

p.p.s. for those of you interested in my quest for the perfect black or grey leisure suit for $40 or less, i have been scouring the universe. forever 21 – strike one. h&m – strike two. bloomies – strike three. zara – strike four. lulus – strike five. nolita boutiques – strike six. yadda yadda yadda. i have a new lead on one today so I’ll let you guys know if it pans out!

p.p.p.s. sorry for the late post today. dang you, verizon.
