ModernGear Women: Re-thinking Rompers

I firmly established my opinion on rompers for women in last year's post on the subject...buuuut, I am a complex woman, and fully admit that my tastes are subject to whims and fancies I can neither predict, nor explain. All that to say, I now like rompers.

Can you blame me? Look how cute these are!

shopbop.com has quite a few, but it was one like this first one that swung me over to the romper side. Last time I was in Vancouver I saw a girl wearing a bright emerald green terry romper like this one. She was in amazing shape, was tanned and had glossy brown hair and bright blue eyes. That simple bright romper with sandals, just worked!

I like this one from Tobi. For some reason, the hood makes me think it would be perfect for hanging out post-swim, or on the water on a boat.

Here's the thing - there are a few suggestions. These are for girls and women who are in shape (I'm out!) and also - though many I have chosen here are photographed with models in heels, I'd only ever wear a romper with flats, personally. Even the more dressier, silkier fabrics. And also, go for colour with these! Black is definitely a nice look in them and if you had the body and the money, I'd suggest a black for evening but COLOUR for day! It's summer, sister! And, I'd carefully choose jewelry to complement a romper - hoop earrings, or a big, chunky necklace, especially with a strapless one, would be GORGE!

So, yes, I do love the romper - what a difference a year makes. If you think my about-face is bananas, wait til I show you my favourite jumpsuits next post!! I'm gonna freak your freak...
