To Romp... or Not to Romp.


My pup decided to join
me for my photo shoot.  
This summer, I'm all for romping around the beach, the county fair, or the grassy park, but how about in an actual romper? 

In all honesty, I had never been a huge fan of the onesie-esque clothing piece, especially when they became increasingly popular a few years back. However, one of these very jumpsuit inspired pieces recently caught my eye. And all of a sudden I found myself wondering if I too would join the romper squad.

I was hesitant. I was quite sure rompers are not meant for women with my body type. With a small waist and large everything-beneath-my-waist, I can't mess around with shapeless clothing. Thus, I've always assumed that's this is the very reason why rompers are so popular with teenagers. They are shapeless through the body, but show off long lean arms and legs (neither of which I have). So when I found a this little suit that didn't have "teeny bopper" written all over it, but looked classy (ish) and sophisticated (ish)... I reeeeally wanted to give it a shot. So I did. 

Below are some shots of my newly ordered piece. 

The material is linen. So nice and cool for the summer. I paired it
with this great hat and casual snake skin sandals for an easy
summer look. Very clean, classy, yet casual.
Like I said, the romper is fairly shapeless through the
body, it doesn't give much of a shape. This one inparticular,
would look great on someone with narrow hips. Black
would probably be the only color I'd get in this.


Like I said earlier... Clean, classy, casual. Love it. Do you?


I'm still debating on keeping it. I really like it! However, I know its not the most flattering piece I can find for my body. Let me know what you all think. Would you romp... or not?


Happy Summer!
