City Rompin'

I have a love-hate relationship with rompers.  They haven't even been on my radar until this season because it seems like every time I tried one on, I would instantly regret it.  If you have any hips at all, you know what I mean.  Now all of a sudden, I'm rompin' around at the beach and city.  What gives, Amanda, what gives?  Well, I've realized the key to finding the right romper all boils down to the store you buy it from.  I would go looking for romper love in all the wrong places, mainly stores that carry clothing in junior sizing.  Those just don't suit me. 

But then I found this pretty little thing at Loft and was in romper heaven.  I even broke my #1 shopping rule of paying full price for this, so you know it's serious.  Side note though - Loft will give you a price adjustment up to 7 days after the purchase, so I ended up saving after all.  I knew then it was meant to be!  This romper was absolutely perfect for our second day in Chicago.  We hit up the parks and Navy Pier, and this kept me cool and breezy all day.  As with all rompers, you have to practically get undressed to use the ladies' room, but if you can get over that you'll have the perfect outfit!

Beach Rompin'

This was the only outfit that I documented on our trip besides my swimsuits, and I would say that my sister turned improvised photographer did a pretty good job!  As you can see from my lack of accessories (I didn't pack any jewelry at all) this outfit was pretty simple but I still loved the way this bright pink bag popped against the black lace.  Plus the bling on these sandals pretty much makes up for it.  And speaking of black lace, I can't believe I actually found a romper that I like and that fits me.  I had always thought that was pretty much a lost cause until I stumbled upon this number.  I'm sure it'll be making many more appearances this season, accessorized to the max of course.
