It might sound dumb, but one of the things I miss most about my life pre-pandemic is partying. I’m not a huge party girl. In fact, I have always been unusually responsible, with my first reflex to be productive and get work done. Despite what my high achieving personality may imply, I am far from a bore. I love to have a good time, and I very rarely say no to an invitation. Being that the pandemic means social distancing, I haven’t gone to a real party in quite some time. My social endeavors have been much smaller and more spaced out (as they should be right now), but I really do miss going to a bar or a club or a concert with my friends, spending money on overpriced drinks, and dancing until my feet hurt. After all, isn’t that one of the best parts of your twenties? I bought this bodysuit back in April when the pandemic was only in its infant stages. At the time, we had no idea that nearly a year later we would still be in the thick of it, and I bought this bodysuit as a memento of good things ahead…only I did not quite realize just how far ahead it would wind up being. It is the beginning of 2021, and I am still daydreaming of when I can have a good night out with my friends. After all, we did not even get to go on our graduation trip abroad we had been planning for a year, and at least we could go to brunch when outdoor dining was available…I definitely wouldn’t go to brunch in this outfit though.
Even though I may be lacking in places to wear this bodysuit at the moment, that doesn’t mean I can’t gush about how much I love it! It is definitely a lot more risqué than what I usually opt for, but this risk is kind of fun! I chose to pair a black lacy bra under this mesh bodysuit. You could also wear a bralette instead, but I need more support. While the sheer fabric of the bodysuit might bring a bit of a shock upon only seeing my bra underneath, it is still less revealing than most of last summer’s swimsuit trends (don’t even get me started on that one). Being that this is most definitely a nighttime look in my opinion, I find it to be so much jarring in the daylight than it is in the dark only under the lights of the city. I enjoy pushing the boundaries on occasion, but I will only go so far. So as to not make this look too overwhelming, I chose to go for a monochromatic black color scheme. I feel that it helps to streamline an already bold look. The only problem with my current black jeans (pictured above) is that they are a medium rise pant instead of high rise. Because this is such a revealing bodysuit and not a chunky sweater, a higher rise pant would be more flattering. Regardless, I still think this look is fantastic! If I weren’t wearing black jeans, I would probably wear a leather skirt or my faux leather leggings. With a simple hairstyle and a hoop earring, I’m sure this will be a hit at the first party post-pandemic.
In non-fashion related news, I am very excited about the law school acceptance letters I have been receiving! I am even going to visit a few of them next month. I understand that unnecessary travel is advised against, but such a big decision about my future requires thorough and careful consideration of all my options. I do not feel comfortable making a decision about my legal education (and likely where I will be living the rest of my life) without first visiting the area. The first trip I have planned is to somewhere I have been many times throughout my life, and I could not be more excited to share it with everyone! Of course, I am still waiting for a few schools to get back to me. As luck would have it, they are the schools I am the most eager to hear from, but I am hopeful I will hear good news from them soon. In the mean time, I plan on staying safe, healthy, and happy, and I wish the same for everyone else.
