Happy Friday, friends! What’s everyone doing this weekend?
An emerging trend that originally dates back to the 90’s is the bodysuit! I remember wearing them back in Kindergarten, but not quite like these. The modern-day take of this trend is hot and even borders on risqué. It’s trendy, fabulous, and perfect for a weekend night on the town! What I love about bodysuits is that they are form fitting and give you that perfect looking silhouette. Plus, you can pull off that tucked-in look without having to adjust it a million times.
Here are my favorite bodysuits and our weekly link-up!

Trending: Bodysuits
This bodysuit is perfect for a girls night out or even a date! The maroon color and plunging neckline are intriguing features that would be ideal for a night out.
This bodysuit would be great for any occasion. The stripe pattern and mock neck detailing make it great for the office and a casual weekend. Add a statement necklace to wear it for a night out!
This bodysuit is absolutely fabulous! I am so loving this new lace-up trend. With this piece, you’ll look stylish and trendy no matter where you go!
This bodysuit is very versatile. The side lace-up detailing and otherwise basic design makes it a great piece to wear for a casual outing, while it can also be dressed up for an evening out.
This bodysuit is so stunning! I really love lace and the detailing on this piece makes it pretty interesting. The plunging neck and sheer fabric make it a beautiful piece to wear for a night out on the town. You’ll certainly feel confident wearing this!
This bodysuit is yet another gorgeous piece! It’s simple yet the sheer detailing along the neckline gives it a special look.
What do you think of the bodysuit trend?
WHAT I GOOGLED THIS WEEK
I think we’re all guilty of Googling how to do things, fact-checking, or asking Siri things we’ve been pondering. I’m curious by nature and I like to figure things out on my own, so I’m constantly Googling everything!

Here’s my top 5 of the week:

1- PLL Charlotte’s Web
Who else watched this week’s new episode of PLL? Naturally I was Googling it before the episode aired because I’m always dying to see the freeze frames for a sneak peek of the fashion looks. I just started a new web series called Pretty Little Liars Style Reactions, where I share these sneak peeks with you and give my opinions on the looks. Check it out here: The Closet by Christie’s YouTube Channel. Let me know what you guys think of it!
2- DSLR Ring Light
Any other YouTubers out there? I’m trying to improve my video lighting, but I can’t afford an expensive professional lamp. Does anyone know of any affordable ring lights that would be good for lighting a YouTube video?
3- Shay Mitchell GMA Outfit
Shay Mitchell has amazing style! She always looks trendy and fabulous. I was trying to figure out whether or not she was wearing a bodysuit on a recent Good Morning America interview. Since that was the theme of this post, I was going to share her look but I couldn’t find out the details of it. I’ll include a photo for you all at the bottom of this section!
4- What channel is the Powerball on?
How crazy was this Powerball lottery! I don’t normally participate in these but when the winnings are that high, you just have to give it a try. After all, you have to be in it to win it! Did you try your luck?
5- Inspirational quotes
Need #MondayMotivation x2? Google this! In this instance, I was looking for a quote to share for Monday Motivation but it’s always an enlightening experience reading through all of the results.

Also linking up with these lovely ladies!

    I love bodysuits…and also wore them in kindergarten…in the 1970's, but we called them unitards. I have been dying to pick a couple up. I am totally digging the Topshop ones and the Free People one. Great curation of bodysuits and Google searches. How fun.

    Great picks! I love a good bodysuit! The striped one from Topshop is so cute!

    I love the look of body suits on others but it's not for me. I do not want all my lumps and bumps on display. You've found some great selections!

    Thank you for hosting and hope you are having a fab week!

    The body suit trend is old school because that was something my mom wore when she was teen! Don't tell her I said she was old! lol But I think it is cool even now but I have not wore one.

  • Amy Johnson January 22, 2016 at 3:24 pm

    I remember when body suits you used to be in style way-back-when and what a pain they were when it came time to go to the bathroom. I don't think I'll be revisiting them. LOL!

  • Mary Kate McCandless January 22, 2016 at 5:36 pm

    I'm seriously obsessed with Shay's outfit- she looked stunning!

    I need a bodysuit or two badly. They are fun, sexy and versatile. I love those Top Shop picks and may have to try them. And Shay Mitchell looks divine.
