Culotte Jumpsuits and Turtlenecks

Boho looks are some of my favorite looks to style, hence the name of my blog The Mod Little Melanin! And what screams boho more than a culotte jumpsuit and coordinating tan turtleneck?

In a week filled with obvious signs of global warming (in a matter of days we creeped from -2 degrees to 68 degrees in Kansas) no look says "it's nearly Spring, jk not really" than a pair of culotte trouser. I decided to wear a spin of my favorite pants, and opt for a jumpsuit version of the semi-popular trouser. I found this gorgeous jumpsuit at none other than Old Navy. Old Navy has recently taken the time to rebrand their items, and on occasion you can find hip, trendy pieces amongst a sea of flannel button-down shirts and empowering graphic tees.

I was lucky enough to find my jumpsuit amongst the clearance rack for less than $5.00. I've owned it for quite a few years (I've taken an oath to shop less and save more in the last few months) and it is a staple in both my winter and spring wardrobe. The versatility of this piece is absolutely endless, and my favorite way to style it during the winter months is with a neutral turtleneck and a wool floppy hat (hair permitting of course)!

​Turtlenecks and mocknecks are another staple in my winter wardrobe! I usually purchase turtlenecks from affordable stores such as Old Navy or Walmart, however, this piece is actually from a Rue 21 collection from a few winters back.

I completed the look with knee high socks, that I "bunched" with a pair of platform ankle boots. You can purchase similar knee high socks at stores such as Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. This particular pair is from Urban Outfitters; search the website at the end of the season to find affordable hosiery accessories. My shoes were $7.99 and purchased from Gabe's, a local discount store in Virginia, that is similar to Ross! If you have a Gabe's in your area, check them out! I was so surprised when I first walked in the store and found name-brand pieces, from Steve Madden, and Rampage for a fraction of the price!
