This season it's all about: The One-Piece, The Fashion Onesie or the Playful PLAYSUIT.
Maybe all that "Orange is the New Black " influence had designers revamping the oversized jailbird-mechanical jumpsuit from Orange to Blue.

Last year the Onesie fashion trend started with the Overall ( Dungarees )… remember those?
Originated sometime in 1790, used as protective work- wear for the lower class.
Made of Heavy Cotton or Linen and the multiple pockets served a utilitarian purpose
for farmers, miners, railroaders and mechanics.
Overalls gained fashionable notoriety sometime in the 1960's thanks to the hippie revolution.
Although I vowed never to wear another pair back in 1985.
I am now ready, in 2015 to revisit my past … I could not help myself from getting sucked into the one piece.

( Emulating their clothes, the hair, those elaborate head wraps, right down to the shoes.)
Bananarama, was a great source of my past Overall fashion inspirations in the late 80's.

I like my one piece to be closer to body and cinched at the waist,
either with a belt or a drawcord.
The Modern playsuit is a slimmer fit elongating the body.
Also the easiest way to wear full on Denim on Denim ! ( and the perfect travel outfit. )
The only nuisance I find with this Onesie fashion is:
Sadly when visiting the bathroom….. you will need to completely undress.
( Hold on to your suspenders !! :)
There is always a price to pay for the love of Fashion !
