Notes From the Dressing Room: romper

OOTD- After the Simple Life

This little romper was a surprise trendy piece that I gave a thumbs up to last year. After wearing it that one time, I stuck it in a bag to dry clean and completely forgot about it until finding said bag full of old stuff recently and actually doing something with it. Does anyone else take forever to dry-clean or do laundry? I had a college roommate that did laundry every week, if not more often. I always wondered why she washed so often since I generally wait until I'm running out of clean underwear. Is that tmi?? Well, it's true.

And getting back to my adult onesie... my Winter Kate flowy cardigan lended this outfitit a slight boho vibe; something I've been channeling this summer. And if I can see Nicole Ritchie wearing it, I think that means I'm on the right track.

Do you sometimes channel a favorite fashion icon or celebrity when picking out an outfit?

Outfit of the Day- Romping Around

I've always been hesitant to try out the romper/jumper trend. It seems like something that would be out of style in a second and it is hard to pull off for most women. I kind of hesitated when I came upon this when I saw it on the racks and then thought what the heck as I took it to the dressing room. Surprise, surprise, I actually liked it. The material gives it a much dressier vibe and despite the fact that my boyfriend kept teasing me about wearing my onesie all day, I still look forward to wearing it again in this super hot summer heat.
