I might have squealed when I opened this month’s Ping Pong Post package and saw this purple leopard jumpsuit inside. It’s quite known that I love leopard (see here, here, here, and here), and I don’t discriminate against leopard in color (as seen here and here). Once I held it up, I will admit to a cringe when I saw the “S” tag indicating a small in size. I am not small. I have never been a small. I’m ok with that. So, I did have a moment of, “Oh gosh, I hope I can squeeze into this….” And I did, but it was literally a squeeze. Because the jumpsuit was a little small on me, I also lost the proper length for my legs. It was at that point that I decided to tie each one up in a pseudo bow. I actually just used hair ties to create the bows–similar to a hair bun. I have a ton of semi-formal events coming up from graduation and its dinner to prom. I styled this jumpsuit as if I was attending one of those events; hence the ostrich bag came out as did my satin bowed kitten heels. I wasn’t sure about the jewellery, so I went with my chunky silver chains and simple silver hoops.
Samantha in the Purple Leopard Jumpsuit
Samantha, from Fake Fabulous, is the pro at mixing. Look how she added green into the mix: in her necklace and shoes. Then she accentuated with more shades of blue with the sash and cluth. She told Anna and I how freezing these pics were taken back in March, and I believe her. I bet the sleeveless duster did nothin’ but it sure does look classy.
Anna in the Purple Leopard Jumpsuit
Anna, from Anna’s Island Style, went with pattern mixing which is so fun! I love how she added a striped tee underneath. Plus all of her accessories from the rings she’s wearing to her bold shoes are such fun. She’s embraced the whimsical with success.

Here you have me–with a flat chest up above! I kind of love that picture since this silhouette usually doesn’t happen for me!
(But down below, if I’m honest the Girls look a little wonky! Haha.
Your turn! How would have you styled this purple leopard jumpsuit? Do share in the comments.
Such a fun series! All three of you did a great job styling the jumpsuit! I loved seeing everyone’s take on it!
I think you styled it perfectly for a special occasion! Such a fun bag, and I love the chunky yet simple silver necklace with it!

Thanks so much Andrea. It was a hard one for me since my Girls didn’t fit and then it was too short, but OH! It was so fun to be flat for once!!

It’s amazing how you can take the same item of clothing and make it look so different. I’m in love with the way you tied it at the ankles—so inventive!!
I laughed when you talked about squishing the girls—-did you try taping them down? (I had to do that once (not for the blog but for a strapless dress many moons ago)—all in the name of fashion!!

The jumpsuit was so tight, I don’t even think there was room to tape the Girls down! And, how does one tape them down….Hmmm, I might need to try that because it was so fun to be flat for once!
In fact I’ve investigated a boob job….I just figured if they inserted it would lift them a bit, but oh I was wrong. The doc drew me this anchor, and I was like, Oh, yeah. I could do that. But! Then I looked it up on the Internet….OUCH! I just keep big boobs–that sag!!
Anyway, enough boobie talk! Hahah!
Thanks for always stopping by and commenting Jodie. I love it!! I appreciate it so much and sincerely look forward to your comment.
Love, Ann
Ann you certainly turned on the glamour with your styling here! I love how simple yet utterly effective this entire look is. You look totally gorgeous x

Thank you Anna. I’m blushing!! Love, Ann
So sorry Annie!
I was worried the girls would be in trouble BUT you would have been welcome to cut and snip…I knew you were last in the trio and I am not precious about this jumpsuit.
However, you nailed it!
AND this is an XS (not a small) so there!!!

BTW…isn’t it strange how you and Anna see this is purple and I am declaring it’s blueness!
It is blue in Scotland! Although, I was also blue in these photos :oP
Purple blue! There we go!! A x
No need to be sorry. It was a very fun challenge Sam. Especially figuring out the hem bit. And being flat for once, oh! I loved that!! And I squeezed in to an XS. Good for me!! 😀

Wow! This is fabulous! You actually look smokin’ hot in this jumpsuit and I love the little knots at the ankles. My girls are often a hinderance too so I feel your pain…lol. It is truly so cool how all three of you (whom I adore btw) took such a unique and potentially tough to style piece and made it your own. Samantha and Anna’s individual style totally shines through as does yours. Well done beautiful ladies!

Thank you Debbie. It is always interesting to see what arrives in the mail. I seriously squealed at this one as I know you would too–LEOPARD LOVE! Then, it would have been a hoot to have anyone of you there to watch me literally squeeze into it!
You do an excellent job of styling your Girls too!! Read my comment up above to Jodie. Have you ever thought of doing that?

Your second to last line made me laugh – about the girls being wonky. Are ours all? Heavens mine are so you’re in good company. Inspired to tie the hems as it gives you a great silhouette. You look sleek and fierce. And that bag, oh my, that bag was just MADE for the jumpsuit!

Haha! Wonky Girls. Not usually in my bra, but without support and pushed all around, yes!
I really didn’t know what to do with the short hem, but I do think I figured it out pretty well.
And yes, this bag is definitely one of my most favorite DIYs.
Thanks for stopping by PSV!! Love, Ann
Thanks so much Mary. I did think I was being rather smart with this styling trick since the hem was so short. Thanks for stopping by Mary! A x
