Summer's coming: Rompers!

Hi girls! First of all I wanted to say a big thank you to all of you,  for giving me so much positive feedback and for being so complementary at the exhibition! I wasn't excepting so many people to read it or enjoy it so thank you sooooo much :) 


Now to the topic of this post: Rompers! I've been looking for cute rompers for ages, but I can never find the perfect one! Either the color is wrong, the cut is terrible or the shorts are too baggy. This year however, I decided to buy a couple of simple rompers and have fun accessorizing them! 

This is a picture of the first romper I bought at H&M. It cost me less than 15 francs and it comes in three different colors(if I remember correctly, one even has flowers on it!). It has three buttons down the front, a black 'braided' elastic waistband around the waist and deep pockets in the shorts. Rompers are usually baggy and relatively shapeless. They don't really highlight your waist, therefore a belt is necessary! Most of you guys have said that you'd like to see more pictures of outfits on this blog, so I've taken a few pictures of me trying on different simple 'looks' with the same romper.

Basic Romper(not accessorized) 

This is the first basic 'look' I decided to wear. I call this the last minute 'I'm-about-to-miss-the-bus' outfit, because it basically involves throwing the basic items together! I've tied a simple braided, brown belt around my waist to create a waistline and to add a different shade of color to the romper. If you plan on wearing a black romper or jumpsuit during the day, remember to always add a touch of color (preferably red or turquoise) to keep it from looking plain and depressing! I added a few colorful bracelets, a red bag  and gold gladiators to brighten it up and keep it summery! It's very simple and last minute, but it works when you're in a rush and want to look casual.

  

The second outfit is more of a dressy look. I paired the romper with a beige military-style jacket, a long black necklace(which distracts from the belt-less waistline) and black sequined heels. Black is considered to be a night color, so if you plan on wearing a black romper at night, additional bright colors aren't really necessary. However, adding a bright clutch would be the perfect accessory if you're going out to a party(for example).  It would keep your outfit fun and keep it from looking too dark. I would recommend pairing it with heels or wedges though, these are the perfect shoes to wear when you're going out!
                                                                   


Tip: Make sure the wedges are one solid color, and not a braided jute espadrilles wedges like this:

Let's be honest...these are ugly. And okay, I didn't exactly picked the nicest one I could find, but you get my point right?  They may look nice with another outfit, but with a black romper like this one, they just look like ugly braided, basket shoes. Avoid them at all cost!
                             

                                         

Here are some ideas of what kind of 'bright' colored purses I would accessorize my romper with(if I were to buy either of these two amazing Tory Burch purses):
