Capsule #2 // Outfit 30
I haven’t taken the romper plunge yet, but since I love faking things (like boyfriend jeans), I thought I’d fake a romper too. The key to making it work? Wear black + choose a top and a bottom made of similar fabrics.
AND wear a Panama hat, so everyone is focusing on the hat. The “romper” fades into the background like magic. ;)
This is a perfect vacation outfit, yes, but when the temps in Texas reach 100 I’d wear it, oh say, EVERYWHERE. It’s just that breezy and cool.
On that note, here’s what I wear under these breezy shorts to keep everything G rated. Gotta keep things clean, you get it.
Hat: JCrew
Top: Nordstrom Rack (no longer available, similar here)
Bracelet: Francesca’s (no longer available, similar here)
Shorts: American Eagle
Bag: Fossil (no longer available, similar here)
Shoes: DSW
