it's romptastic!





My son and I both decided to wear rompers to the park the other day. It was romptastic! Seriously, we were the cutest kids at the park. My friend Jenae, who is awesome times ten, took these photographs. You can check her blog out here.

I have to tell you, I am SO EXCITED about this jumpsuit (because it is a jumpsuit really, not a romper, I just like to say "romptastic"). I am "SO EXCITED" because I got this romptastic jumpsuit at V.V. for SEVEN dollars. Oh how delightfully happy does this make me! Because I was so ready to bite the the jumpsuit bullet and purchase one of these lovelies from Saks online:

Under.Ligne by Doo.Ri
Jersey Jumpsuit
$275.00
Sale $110.05


Ella Moss
Ginger Drop Print Jumpsuit
$153.00
Sale $91.80


The only problem was, I couldn't decide which one! So now my decision has been made for me! Because hey, 7 dollars is a pretty penny less than one hundred dollars! Also, I seriously like my jumpsuit better than any of these except perhaps the two Ali Ro one's (they're romptastic times ten).

And I still may get the Ella Moss one; because it IS actually a romper, and it is definitely romptastic! But it sure is nice to get something so "on trend" for a decent price; because it may not be on trend for much longer! That said, I love this look and will probably end up wearing it far after the trend has passed. Because really, who cares?

Also, it's CANADA DAY so I have to go now and get my celebration on!

outfit details:

jumpsuit, value village: $7
shoes, naturalizer: $30
my son's romper, baby gap: $17 (note: my son's romper cost more than mine!)
glasses, vera wang via clearlycontacts.ca
catch of the day, gold fill necklace: $80

  15. Your romper is so sophisticated. I think when people think "romper" they think whimsical or child-like, but yours is lovely and you wear it so well. And your son is just the most adorable little thing!

  16. You look so darn cute in that jumpsuit! I'm also loving the Milly jumpsuit, it looks great with the belt. If only I could pull those off. Also, I'm a little weirded out about going to the restroom in a hurry in one of those, lol.
