It's Friday dolls!!! The weekend has finally arrived! What do you have planned? I'll be working most of it but definitely making some time to hit the Lake Mary's Farmer's Market tomorrow morning before heading into my shift at S&T! Then of course it's Sunday Funday with the Super Bowl! I love the Super Bowl, it's the perfect excuse to eat some really bad food while watching all the fun commercials ;) lol
Well onto one of my favorite trends that I personally have about 10 of, is the romper! Definitely a trend to try if you haven't!
HISTORY OF THE ROMPER:
- Rompers began as children’s clothing and resembles such kid clothing such as overalls, jumpers, and as my man likes to call them, onesies ;) lol
- The earliest advertisement for rompers was in this issue of the New York Times
from 1904. The ad called rompers “pinafore-like garments” with the skirt
portion gathered into shorts for comfort. Described as easy to play in and often
made of cotton or other washable material, rompers were the go-to play
clothes of the 20th century.
- Rompers continued to be popular into the ’20s, as much for stylish
young women as for children. With its one-piece design, the romper was a
chic alternative to a blouse and full skirt and could be dressed up or
down, depending on the fabric.
- In the ’70s, the romper’s leggy cousin, the jumpsuit, was a wardrobe
staple for anyone with disco on the brain. Since then, jumpsuits have
gone in and out of fashion, recently being revived with 70's feel.
- These days, the romper is back in a big way, with designers
featuring rompers on the runway and retailers experimenting with
patterns, tailored and relaxed silhouettes, and eye-catching details.
It’s likely you have one in your own closet right now.

structured looks for night.

- There’s something for everyone. Still not sure you can pull off a romper? You can. Just dress for your body type. Check this out...
Petite body type -
Avoid styles with heavy, excess fabric.
No boxy sleeves, overwhelming ruffles and long shorts and
Try short, sexy suits with a
V-neck or strapless cut.
Think form-fitting and a flash of flesh.
Vertical stripes and solid colors can help visually lengthen a
petite frame
Prints should be small to keep things in
proportion
Wear heels ;)
Curvy body type -
Find a romper that nips in at the waist or has a belt
Look for slightly longer,
roomier shorts to keep those thighs under wraps.
Watch out for
rompers that bulge at the lower belly or have short crotches that create
a the dreaded camel toe situation :) lol
Add a
shrunken blazer, a long chain necklace, and cute wedges with the romper!
Tall body type -
Select a style that
is long enough in the torso area
A tight, short bodice may make you
feel like you're wearing a pair of pantyhose that are four sizes too
small
Drop waists and longer shorts add extra comfort
Color-blocking or horizontal stripes can visually shorten your frame if
you're worried about looking lanky.
If your figure is straight,
slim, and boyish, look for pleats or flirty ruffles to add a touch of
volume.
Average body type -
Finding the perfect romper all boils down to fit.
You should have enough room in the stomach and
crotch area to move freely.
The most flattering style is one that nips
at the waist, or you can add a belt to help break up the look. Experiment with prints and make sure the length is
proportional to your size
