Grana Review Silk Jumpsuit

So let me start off this review by saying I'm not a silk jumpsuit kind of girl.  In fact I usually avoid jumpsuits and rompers in general because I really dislike having to strip all the way down to use the bathroom (talk about inconvenient).  However thanks to you guys, I have a small bank of Grana credit and so I decided to try some things outside of my comfort zone.  Also I'm a fan of Grana's silk (mostly because they always do a double layer of it), so I thought "why not?" And I'm so glad I tried it out because I love it!

Wearing this jumpsuit got me feeling all kinds of sassy:

Lol, I'm literally strutting here.  I just wish I was wearing heels with this but these neutral flats from Vera Wang (somewhat similar here) are not bad.  Also I love my small Celine Trotteur (similar here) with this jumpsuit since the thin bag strap goes with the straps that criss-cross the back.  The silk jumpsuit gave me a whole 70's disco vibe while I was wearing it.

I got this jumpsuit in a small and it fit perfectly.  There's a side zip that makes it easier to get on and off.  Each strap is also adjustable so that you can control how low the v-neck is in the front.  The waistband is elastic with a drawstring so you can tighten or loosen the waist how you like.  In general I found the proportions just right for my 5'4" frame.  As I said earlier, this is made from double layer of silk (their 14mm crepe de chine, which I've heard from a reader is easily hand washable).  I'm wearing both a strapless bra and a thong here to minimize the bumps and such from underclothing (this will definitely give you VPL if you're wearing normal underwear).  The bottoms of these pants feel like a slightly tighter version of their silk ankle pants, which I love (reviewed here).

I really love that one piece of silk clothing can make me look so polished and put together, so that I only have to think about my shoes and accessories (which is admittedly my favorite part of planning an outfit).  For $129 it's a bit on the pricey side, but for a whole outfit made from 100% silk I don't think it's all the bad.  Anyway if you're interested you can get it 10% off with my referral link (first time customers only) and you can find all my other Grana reviews here.
