PRINT PALAZZO JUMPSUIT







Nothing beats an effortlessly chic look and this halter palazzo jumpsuit got me feeling exactly that way.


This extremely flattering 70’s style is one of the pieces recently outdoored by Woodin for their FUSION Collection.


Woodin is part of the Vlisco group, and has over the last 30 years risen to be a favourite for both the young and old through their creativity and dynamic designs.


Woodin has proven to be a truly African brand as their fabrics reflect Africa's rich culture and art.


The FUSION Collection features a limited edition ready-to-wear outfits that are trendy and affordable.

The coolest thing about FUSION for me is that the fabrics are made exclusively for the collection and are not sold on the market. Awesome right ?


I got to style four pieces from FUSION, this is the first one and I can't wait to show you the other three.

What do you think about wide-legged jumpsuits though?

Would you wear them?

I kept this look really simple and chic , it didn't  need much accessories as the outfit is a statement on its own( and also because I don't do a lot of jewelry).
A nice earring and a clutch should complete this look.


Let me know what you think about this look :-)
