Some of my favorite things in review are bags (both firsthand and secondhad) and anything from Quince. I’m all about the value!

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.
