Patience is a virtue because when I started packing for Africa, it was the #1 thing on my list to bring, donning it on the first non-active day of the trip (day 1 and day 2 consisted of hiking and a day safari...those outfits coming soon). That day came on the Cape Town celebration of Tweede Nuwe Jaar, when the city has its Minstrel Celebration.
Tweede Nuwe Jaar reaches back to the days of slave trade and servants in Cape Town, when the disenfranchised would generally work on New Year's Day for their masters and employers; they waited until the day after New Years to hold their celebration. The tradition continues and the city even pushed off the celebration a few days to accommodate the Muslim Friday prayer (so it was held on Saturday, January 4).
So you ask, HOW DID I WEAR THE JUMPSUIT?

A few more photos, with Sarah Khan of the blog The South AfriKhan, who I met through a friend of a friend. She graciously hosted me in Cape Town, showing the best ways to experience Cape Town. I highly recommend using her blog if you're planning any trip, ever, anywhere.

Aw thanks for the shoutout, had so much fun with you and loved taking your pics. I actually went to Macys online to buy the jumpsuit but it's sold out, like you said, what's the new version though?
Of course! I'm hoping we can meet up again in DC when you're here. Try this link: http://goo.gl/JJ0xlW - for the new version. In the widget with the various options for other jumpsuits, the new version should be in the middle of the top row, but sometimes the items jump around.
The jumpsuit is It's $69 right now, which I think I got for about $55. I got a small, which fit well, except that I might have liked the legs to be a 1/2 inch longer. You should probably go X-Small though.
i would never consider wearing a jumpsuit..and they usually aren't worn well..but you pulled it off and so effortlessly..great pictures ..
