The Tiny Closet

For Spring and Summer, I've been searching high and low for a few rompers to romp around in for the next 6 months...  My one and only lil altered vintage romper has been wearing down to the seams for the past 2 years so I thought my Tiny Closet was due for a bit of a refresh.  

It's been surprisingly hard to find a romper.  Or maybe I'm just surprisingly picky about rompers.  I suppose I shouldn't take it so seriously, I mean it's Spring and Summer wear - the easiest fashion of the year.  But since I'm showing a lot of skin, I need something that's well-fit and flattering.

And I did manage to spy one oh-so-cute romper while passing through Santee Alley with a bestie who was in town.  After trying it on, I think we made a good call.

Also, last weekend while romping it up, I got a haircut.  I've been yearning for a chic, tidy bob for ages but never thought it was possible because of my natural hair texture.  However, with my new hair routine of sporting more defined curls, I realized I can easily wear a curly bob!  So, before meeting my dad for brunch on Saturday, I got the scissors and my husband helped me cut a nice cropped wedge.  Ah, a fresh new S/S cut!


Here's to a fabulous beginning to the week!  
Hope you're having a great Monday :)   Check out some of the other rompers on my personal favorites list:

A couple Winters ago, I talked about turning my Summer dresses into fun, colorful nightgowns for Winter.   I so adore the look of Summer colors and prints in the dead of Winter.  But also...

Reducing the chance of overspending each season on new clothing by repurposing my clothes is a fun challenge - 

not to mention it's rewarding when I've found another fabulous way to wear something thus giving it longevity in my Tiny Closet.

This Summer however, I didn't buy any new summer dresses but I decided to take a couple of old beach sarongs and make them into pajamas for Fall and Winter.

So these cozy colorful pieces are sure to be a staple in the loungewear section of my wardrobe.  The soft, lightness of the sarong material is perfect for bedtime clothing, it's a shame I didn't buy more sarongs during the summer.  Maybe I will go out and buy one more just because making and wearing them is just so addicting!

Off to the movies with two of my favorite guys, I had no time to dress in the outfit I'd intended.  Plus, speed walking, in the sun, in woven strappy sandals so Theo wouldn't miss grabbing the best seat and watching all the previews didn't sound like a blast so I chose a jersey tank dress and some Chucks in order to keep up.  

The ensemble for that outing will be in another post perhaps, but for Monday, I was still stuck to the idea of coral, yellow, orange and pink.  All together...  Like a candy wrapper!

Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

Thanks so much for visiting :)
