Transitioning a jumpsuit for fall
I actually kind of forgot about my jumpsuit until I was brainstorming ideas for fashion blog posts for the fall. Then I remembered my Amazon black jumpsuit and how comfortable it is! Now, here in Georgia, we will probably have warm weather till close to November with the occasional need for an extra layer on some days. With that in mind, I came up with several outfits using my jumpsuit as a base to build on.
Fall accessories
I wore this outfit to run some errands this past Friday and while the morning started at 64 degrees, the high was 90 so there was no need for layers. I used my shoes (a pair of peep toe booties from Payless, a couple years old), a matching belt and earrings to give the jumpsuit a taste of fall.
An olive vest
What says fall better than an olive vest? I love this vest and will be writing a post next week on how to wear it different ways. It adds a little bit of a fall vibe to the outfit with adding too much warmth. Perfect for fall in the South.
White denim jacket and black and white sandals
You may not think of a white denim jacket as a fall item but anything with long sleeves can work for fall! I really love a classic black and white look and adding these sandals to the outfit just makes me happy! Amazing how many outfits I can make from shopping my closet! I really want to make sure to actually wear this one when it gets cooler, I think it is my favorite look.
Denim jacket
Everyone has a denim jacket: there is no easier way to layer. You can add it to for pretty much any outfit: skirt, dress pants, jumpsuit: add your denim jacket when the weather gets cooler! This one is from Target and I probably will pick up the lighter version later in the fall. For the price (24.99 I think), I find it to be of good quality and quite comfortable. I couldn’t find the exact same one, but here is one similar for 29.99.
Cardigan
This look would look great with any colored cardigan. I like the addition of the belt since I always struggle with whether to button the cardigan or not. If it was cooler, I probably would add my leopard scarf for warmth.I do not wear this cardigan very often but I love the mustard color for fall.
I am not 100% sure about these booties with this outfit but I think I kind of like them. These low shaft booties were a great buy from last year’s Nordstrom sale and I have worn them with a multitude of outfits: definitely a great color and type of bootie to have in one’s closet!
So there it is! Shop your closet and play around until you can create some different ways to create a fall look with either a jumpsuit or a tee shirt dress as a base!

Thanks, Jodie! I am glad I got it this summer and especially glad I got one that didn’t have a pattern!
Bojana
Great ideas! I am going to try a cardigan and belt combo and see if it works for me too!
mimifce
It should! I used the belt where the elastic band waist was on the jumpsuit and that worked for me.

I totally get the shop your closet thing. I’ve been trying to do it more often, to cut down on buying more stuff! You’ve done a great job of styling that cute basic black jumpsuit. Love the belted cardi look. Will have to steal that idea! Hope you’re not anywhere near the coast,because of Dorian!

Thanks! No, we live close to Atlanta, so sunny skies and hot weather here!

So many cute styles with one jumpsuit. One word = love! I am a big fan of jumpsuits and if I am guessing correctly I also have this jumpsuit in my closet. I love everything about it and from the looks of it, you do too! What can I say great minds think alike. You look beautiful in all four outfits. Looking forward to your utility vest post. I hope you had a great weekend and happy Tuesday!

I am only 5’2 so jumpsuits are tricky for me. I have to try several before I find one pair that seems flattering enough. I like your styling tips for this classic piece.
Thanks for linking up at what I wore Sunday! 🙂

Great ideas! I have a sleeveless jumpsuit but it is definitely getting a bit chilly for that here. I do have a jean jacket though and I didn’t think to pair them together. Thanks for the idea.
mimifce
Chilly already! I wish it was here! Still going up in the mid 90s in the afternoon! But yes, sleeveless with jean jacket would work!
Nipa
My favorite is the blue denim jacket and brown sandal/booties. I have yet to buy a jumpsuit but keep seeing so many cute ones to add to my fall wishlist! xo Nipa

It is the only one that I have. I like that it is so versatile!

I do need to wear it more often! I like that I can wear pretty much any way that I wear my black maxi dress!
Kimberly Malkiewicz
Isn’t it fun to shop your closet? There are so many good options waiting to be found. I like that the jumpsuit looks like real trousers.

I am so glad I got a plain black one!

Hi Mirielle
I love how versatile your black jumpsuit is and it looks wonderful wit the booties and brown belt. I have a black jumpsuit gifted from a company a few years ago, and was thinking of something similar. Love the white denim with the sandals, these are great examples, certainly a piece to take on vacation too! I know in NC we wont get colder until Nov as well.
thanks for linking!

A great transitional fall piece! We are already feeling the fall temps here too during the morning. Your jumpsuit looks breathable and perfect after the temps start to warm up. My favorite way you styled it is with the white denim jacket and sandals! I think it brightens up a bit 😉

I love how versatile a jumpsuit is. I like to wear them to work with a blazer 🙂 so elegant. never tried them with a cardigan. Not sure why? but better late than never. I also like you pairing it with the vest.

If I had a blazer in my closet, that would be a great way to pair it with!
