With so much excitement over bright bright colors for spring, I had to take a deep breath! Spring means soft sunlight and wafting breezes, and sometimes just blending into the landscape dusty rose, sky blue, wheaty beige landscape.
Paul & Joe romper, Modcloth belt + ring, F21 bangles, Kate Spade bracelet, Seychelles wedges
A few years ago, I couldn't stand rompers! Now I think they're chic as long as you wear them right. Sky-high wedges and some simple chic jewelry do the trick for me. But, if wearing rompers makes you nervous, here is a tip: pair it with a jacket! You'll get the illusion of shorts from the back and the jacket visually breaks up the continuous fabric in the front.
Topshop, Free People
Current/Elliot, Topshop
Play with different styles or colors to mix and match! Rompers don't have to feel like you're a five-year-old on a sandbox playdate. Classy fabrics and silhouettes push them into a new light. Sunlight, hopefully, since it is now officially spring!
looove the shoes!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to summer (:

ReplyDeleteThat first outfit is perfection! I would wear that in a heartbeat :)

This tip is PERFECTION! I am new to rompers and wasn't totally ready to make the leap -- but with a cardi or jacket I'm totally game! =) Thanks smarty pants!

I LOVE the idea of wearing a jacket to visually break up a romper -- that Free People jacket is absolutely killer!

gorgeous combinations! i love rompers :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm still not totally convinced on rompers and don't think I would ever wear one, but I do see how you can make them work! It is true that when done properly they can look nice, it's just that I normally see people wearing rather horrendous-looking ones, haha. :P They need to read your tips! I do love those two dresses and the jacket though.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these! Especially the romper/cargo jacket combo. Very unexpected but it looks great!

I really need a good utility jacket like the one you have pictured. It's the right shape and size. Not too bulky.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the rompers you posted! I used to get nervous about wearing them but not anymore. :) I love the whole outfit on the top, so cute! :)

I love me some romper action! I only have 2. One's this 80s denim deal and the other one is a classic rayon bandeau deal. They're the best for super hot days. And wedges definitely are the way to go--as always, your styling hints are spot on.

I had the same issue with rompers but last summer, I fell in love with one romper and now I own three. Haha. I love the idea of pairing it with a jacket and making it just look like shorts. :) And that first outfit is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love rompers!! AND I love those awesome & beautiful photos of you in the last post.....you are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat pieces! i really love bright colors but am also a fan of softer neutrals as well...and rompers are great but i hate how i have to strip the whole thing off every time i have to use the bathroom :P
