Wearing a Romper: Day to Night

The short version of jumpsuit is a romper. I am a big fan of them and while they may not seem age appropriate, there are some styles that are extremely flattering! The most important thing to keep in mind when buying one is to make sure it has a draw string so you define your waistline. I found this one in Venice, California in one of the fabulous boutiques on Abbot Kinney Street, The Burning Torch. I have been wearing it quite a bit lately...all around town, day and night!
