Update + 5-a-days! - Summer Trends - Rompers!
To start things off,
I want to apologize to people who actually visited this blog about my absence. I know I kind of straight up disappeared, but it was March-May, and I definitely had too many things going on to update this regularly. I don't know if you guys know how long it takes to go find items, upload it to photobucket, post it in here and then review it, style the post and all that fun stuff, but it really takes a while and I really want everything to look good. That was really taking up time that I needed to be doing other things, so I just stopped. HOWEVER! I am back! And I haven't forgotten about fashion at all. Actually, for those of you that don't know, me and my friend have been creating fashion/style videos on youtube. link! You can also see some in my previous posts. I'll definitely be posting videos on there that are more my style, so check it out! That's enough about that! Time to show you guys the 5-a-days! The theme I'm doing is a week of summer trends for 2010. So, everyday, I'll post five things on a certain trend that I find really appealing/stylish!

Summer Trend #1: Rompers!
Basic Romper!
Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Strapless - Romper Chambray
Target
$19.99
If you're looking for something basic to start out with, this is a really cute and simple one from Target! It comes in a simple blue and is made from 100% cotton. The romper is strapless and also has a sweetheart neckline. There's a pleated waist and there's also pockets. A basic romper if that's the look you're going for.
Printed Romper!
Abstract Printed Romper
Forever21
$15.80
If you're looking for a romper with a little color and print to it, this romper is a great choice. It's strapless and has a basic neckline. The purple/orange/white splashes are really bright and summery. There's also front pockets and a self-tie belt. It's a step up from a basic romper and will definitely stand out.
Sophisticated Romper!
Pompidou Romper
Anthropologie
$58
If you're willing to spend some cash on a nice romper, this is the one I chose! It has a vintage feel to it and has a beautiful bright print. There are also adjustable straps and a pleated sweetheart neckline. It's hard to see in this picture, but there's also a really cute ornate button around the belt and pockets. It's very sophisticated and looks high-end.
Classy Romper!
Lucca Couture New Safari Romper
Urban Outfitters
$58
Another nice romper you can splurge on is this stylish safari-styled romper from Urban. The button up top has a collar and short sleeves. A nice alternative if you don't want to show as much skin as the sleeveless ones. This is a great romper to wear if you're going out for the night with a blazer and oxfords and a long pair of layered necklaces.
Vintage Romper!
$49.99
This last romper has a very vintage floral print that is very sophisticated and fashionable. There's spaghetti straps with a sweetheart neckline and navy buttons going down. The criss-cross cutout design in the back is adorable and adds something extra to the romper. An overall very summery romper with a muted color tone that will still make you stand out amongst the crowd. Pair it with some oxfords, a little hat and cardigan to
Tips!
-Rompers will either be a hit or miss, depending on body type.
-They are generally made for tall and thin, BUT that doesn't mean anything. If you think you look good, then you do!
-There are some rompers made for people who are bigger, you can check Faith21 for one that I saw.
-TRY IT ON IN A STORE FIRST! That way, you can see how it looks. If you buy it online, chances are, it could look horrible on you or fit wrong.
-Rompers were made to be simple, don't over accessorize and go for a natural makeup look and easy-going hair.
-For shoes: go for oxford shoes or simple flats or sandals. Heels wouldn't work as well for rompers.
-Hats are a great accessory for rompers! Try out a straw hat or bowler hat to match your romper and get a cute vintage look.
-There are tons of different prints/styles/designs for rompers! Find the one that suits you and work it! :)
