I bought this romper the week I decided to quit my job and go freelance. This article of clothing epitomized the fantasy I had built for future career in working for myself - unfussy and carefree. Little did I know that this linen romper would require ironing - which is an appropriate metaphor for what freelancing is actually like.

I'm a huge fan of layering in the fall and winter - so in the summer I feel naked without accessories. This sweet head piece I picked up is perfect for dressing up the most basic of outfits.

Linen Romper: Aeropostale (of all places...)
Hair piece: Urban Outfitters ($5 clearance)
Braided Belt: American Apparel
Shoes: Target

You are the only person I will allow to wear rompers.

That is the cutest thing!

Cindy

I love the whole thing, but especially your belt.

Dang girl you've got such shapely legs. Give me those calves!!

I love this look on you! I'm afraid rompers would make my already young face and little frame look juvenile. you've found a way to make it look sophisticated!

(Liz's approval cracks me up.)

Sincerely,
Claire.

I like to call these things "onesies" haha! I tried one on, but as annoying as it was to get on, I could only imagine how ridiculous it would be when I have to pee, really bad! You do make it look super cute, however.

Love your romper!

Kathleen, I've been reading your blog for months now. You are totally inspiring and I look forward to your hilarious/informative/beautifully designed posts. Rompers are my new best friend. I have three that I rotate because you are right about ironing. Rock it girl! Love it!

seriously, i've been quite taken by romper - never had one for myself - so it's extra-good to see it on you! especially, w/ the feather head piece, xx
