Summer Romp

Romper - Gifted, Sunnies - FrockCandy

The temperatures around here reached scorching proportions over the last couple of weeks, and even though my body wasn't ready for the sudden heat, inside I was cheering because it feels like summer is here at last. Summers in my neck of the woods mean that it stays light out until 8 p.m., the weather remains at a balmy 75 to 80 degrees until 10 p.m., backyard barbecues happen nearly every weekend, cool summer cocktails are a must, and you can spend late nights at the drive-in with the windows rolled down so you can breathe in the scent of fresh buttered popcorn. Summers to me also mean rompers, rompers, rompers. This gorgeous colored romper (that I got as a birthday gift last year) is the perfect outfit to keep me cool and comfortable but still looking put together this summer. I rocked it here with some silver jewelry and neutral wedges, but I could have dressed it down with some leather bracelets and some gladiator sandals. If you're a curvy girl, rompers are a GREAT way to hide a little tummy because it hugs your body in the most flattering places. See more short romper examples here and here.

This will be my LAST outfit post featuring my long, long hair. As you heard here, I chopped my hair off this past week on a whim, and I'm excited to debut it on the blog next week with some fresh new outfits. It's amazing how changing your hair length can instantly change the look of an outfit. I've been experimenting with different looks and can't wait to share them with you! Have a great weekend!
