The Outfit I Just Can’t Quit

There is no reason for me to own this velvet jumpsuit and blazer. But I do. And I will never get rid of it. I’ve worn it now two years to CES parties and there is something about putting these two items that make me feel like a much cooler and much, much more powerful version of myself.

I have no idea what it is. Maybe it’s because it’s one of the only outfits I can count on fitting me if I gain or lose some weight. Perhaps it’s because people just kind of move out of my way when I’m wearing it. Or maybe, it’s just because in it, I actually visibly show that I am 100% confident in the Alissa that I am.

It’s probably just because my curves look good in it, let’s be real.

We all have those clothes though that just make us feel like the absolute most extra version of ourselves. This velvet jumpsuit is what I wear when I don’t want to say very much. I just show up and then the night begins after that jumpsuit comes out. My friends are very much aware of this is a jumpsuit that means we are going to be jumpin’, jumpin’ as Destiny’s Child would say.

Honestly this is today’s post. Just an ode to what makes me feel powerful. No bigger life lesson or trying to be an expert on any sort of lifestyle thing. It’s just me writing this so that when another 10 year age challenge starts blowing up social media, I can be like LOOK AT HOW HOT I THOUGHT I WAS and then we all laugh at it.

Sometimes I get really tired of ever blog post needing to have a bigger meaning. I’m not at expert at so many things and just because I did something once doesn’t mean I should be writing about how to do XX just because I did it ONCE. What I am an expert is velvet jumpsuits and capes. I’ll leave the lifestyle guru’ing to someone else, because I’m going to live my best life here in this combination for many years to come. XOXO.
