Romperlicious

June 12th, 2008

I recently decided that the only style of jeans that truly flatter my figure is the high-waisted version.  This realization has obviously impacted the rest of my wardrobe, which is why I’ve been searching for fitted camisoles with intricate details ever since.  It’s actually harder than one would think, since the tops need to be long enough to tuck in, yet if they hit too low, they end up resembling diapers. The Lake and the Stars’ We’re on a Break romper eliminates this dilemma, thanks to the stylish drop waist and fitted bottoms.  Since I’ve been timidly wanting to experiment with the whole romper trend anyway, this is a perfect opportunity to get my feet wet. The cream-colored silk pleats down the front aren’t joined, so they effortlessly fall open, without ever exposing too much.

EDIT:  As the lovely Jo, from Wotton Cool commented, this was actually featured in the ‘Sex and the City’ movie, only further enhancing its cool-factor.

    this is fabulous, I love it. I need something like this too for a new pair of high waisted jeans that have cute waistband detail – I always end up covering it up with a top.

    I absolutely adore this romper. I saw it somewhere else and can’t get over how lovely it is – especially the concept of not bothering with tucking. It’s a total pain. I love it in black and blue, too.

    Thank you for the sweet comment, love. I’m digging your new skirt, by the way – looks lovely on you! xo

    that is really beautiful! how come i hadn’t thought of wearing something like this with my high-waisted jeans (that fit me much better then any of those skinny, low-cut pants ever could)? thanks for posting! and have a wonderful weekend!
