Let me tell you of a love story that ends in betrayal. It has nothing to do with that silly, smiley little boy and everything to do with that innocent looking jumpsuit!
No sooner had I sung the praises of jumpsuits {they’re so comfortable! perfect for travel! like wearing pajamas!} than I ended up in an airport bathroom stall exposing myself to the entire room. I checked and double checked the latch to make sure the door was latched–but as soon as I undressed {the whole thing has to come off basically} and sat down, someone went into the stall next to mine and as their door closed, it jiggled my door free. I couldn’t reach the door so I had to scoot as quickly as I could to get it closed again. Once I was alone again, I just started LAUGHING! It was a laugh or cry situation, if you know what I mean! I had been betrayed by my beloved jumpsuit and stabbed in the back by my fickle bathroom stall door. It was like they planned it and conspired against me.
Two hours later I ended up in the airplane bathroom {basically one square foot} with nowhere to hang my jean jacket except on top of my head and a floor that was so wet, I didn’t want my pants to touch it. Ugh! So I’m holding my jumpsuit off the ground and trying to balance my jacket on my head and maneuver in a tiny space. This jumpsuit–whoever thought they were a good idea?! Oh wait, me!
Moral of the story, while I love jumpsuits, I’m never wearing one for travel again. They simply can’t be trusted! I’ve learned my lesson!
I love jumpsuits/rompers too, but the bathroom finagling is the worst part for sure! Totally worth it thought, you look phenom!
xx
Thanks for the giggle!
LOL – they simply can’t be trusted.
I am such a noob.
I will never forget – I was seven or eight and couldn’t get the buttons undone on my jumpsuit fast enough. Peed my pants at my aunt’s house and I will never wear a jumpsuit again because of that experience. -Debbie
It could have been worse…the airplane bathroom door could have opened…haha
Well, this gave me a good laugh and sounds like something that would totally happen to me!
You are awesome! Love your sense of humor and that you know not to sweat the little things. Jumpsuit strike 2 but Lisa still wins with a great story!
your outfits are turning on you these days! first the poor thifted dress and now the jumpsuit! thanks for the laugh!
I was literally wondering this the other day, how a little girl (4-5 yrs) could wear it to school and maneuver herself in the bathroom alone!?
Thanks for the smile!!!!
Where did you get that cute jumpsuit?!
It’s from Anthro! xo
And we will all live vicariously through you and your jumpsuit. Thanks for the giggle with my coffee this morning!
Ha! When I read through your list and got to “Great for travel,” I thought, Oh honey, you just don’t know! I think I almost died of a burst bladder the one and only time I wore one on a plane. I learned:
1) the “fasten seatbelt light comes on a loooong time before you reach the airport;
2) the restrooms in the airport are a long way from the gate;
3) when you factor in 1) and 2) you don’t want to have to unsnap, unbutton, and undress when you finally DO get there!
Jumpsuits are best left for days you stick close to home!
That is great logic! I agree!
Love it! I was just for sure you were going to say that the arms fell in the toilet and you had to dry them with the hand dryer! There’s your bright side…at least THAT didn’t happen! 😀
Oh my, that would be a nightmare!
Love it! Someone should invent a jumpsuit with snaps all along the legs like the infant onesies. Problem solved!
LOL! I love how you share the good and the BAD of life with us!!! so now we are warned! 🙂 (about jumpsuits that is!!)
There is always beauty to be found! xo
Oh, Lisa! I was laughing out loud…what a great story! Same thing goes for one piece bathing suits…tankinis forever!! Have an awesome weekend!!
So true! Thanks Amy!
I laugh with you, not at you. I remember that fear from when they were popular in my childhood. Keeps me from even contemplating wearing them at this age. Oh, how I sympathize with you.
At least the jump suit didn’t jump into the toilet. They are for cute, but what a hassle they are!
That would be mortifying!
I was wondering when you were going to have THAT experience. We’ve all been there, former lovers of the jumpsuit.
It was bound to happen sooner or later! I’ve officially joined the club!
Your jumpsuit needs a backflap like the pajamas have!! Funny story.
Ha! Now that would be functional! xo
Do you know the saying
“strike of laughter”
that’s what I do right now!!!!!
