I've never met a jumper I didn't love. I'm lucky to have long limbs that balance out the effect of a jumper, but I encourage all Eye'rs to attempt this look, if even just for a moment in a fitting room.
Today we are looking at my special fall 2010 find from Zara.
The point of this post is not simply to prance around you in a cute romper like a preschooler, no no, I thought this would be a great opportunity to give you another fall transition piece to think about AND arm you with some knowledge on how to shop for one.
When browsing the stores and web retailers for the perfect jumper, it’s key to have your measurements on hand. Don’t worry; it’s not as time consuming or invasive as a personal trainer measuring your body fat. Just measure your high waist (your smallest point) and the distance between your chest and your waist. These numbers will be helpful for fitting the one-piece garment.
Your measurements will also give you an idea of your perfect size (usually small, medium or large).
Once armed with your measurements, take them to the streets.
Long rompers can be cut to hug the body, thus, you must see yourself in it to properly gauge how it drapes on your person. When you’ve nailed down your size, it’s time to choose from the limitless cuts and styles. The most universally flattering jumper is one that boasts a flowy leg and a cinched waste.
Go ahead! Jump'er into fall:-)

Such an adorable yet chic look Tira! I love that you scored this in 2010 and it totally looks like something that would be on the rack at Zara right now. Nicely done :)
