Boulder and the Beautiful

It always makes me happy when I start liking something, and then discover it is “hip.” This is a rare occurrence that should be celebrated.
A few months ago, I began thinking about jumpsuits. I don’t know why; society must have planted some subliminal seed in the fashion lobe of my medulla.
Then today, I received an e-mail from Someone Who Knows Things that proclaimed jumpsuits are in. All the celebs are doing it, so why aren’t you? (Rhetorical.)
Here are some of my favorite suits to jump in.

Guess denim jumpsuit, aka the Canadian Hooker Tuxedo:

Despite my sarcastic nickname for this, I seriously do like it.

Here is another one of Guess’s jumpsuit concoctions:

OK, so maybe those are a little too much for Boulder.
Here is a more conservative way to wear something very similar to adult footie pajamas, without the feet, in public.

This is from Victoria’s Secret, $55.

Unfortunately, a poll at Fabsugar.com asked readers whether they hated or loved the jumpsuit look. The majority said hate. Only 38 percent (including me) said love it. The rest of the reader’s computers froze in protest.

Not all suits o’ jump are created equal. Here is a Victoria’s Secret version that makes my eyes water.

If a Victoria’s Secret model — indisputably the sexiest women on the planet — cannot look hot in it, it should be burned.
I think the key to a cute jumpsuit is:
* Bell bottoms
* Strapless or thin straps. No sleeves.
* No elastic ankles.
* Avoid patterns at all costs, unless you want to look like you are wearing a baby romper.
