BLUE FLORAL MAXI ROMPER

Hi! Happy Monday! It’s back to work and daycare for all us today. Had the best week off with my little family, but I have to say I’m anxious to get back into a routine. While I enjoy time off I truly love to work. Having a career pushes me to succeed, set goals and reach them and I think that provides the best example for Summer. I guess it’s just my personality to constantly push myself. I do it with work, my workouts and this blog. I’m very regimented, focused and driven when I find things I love to do. Guess that’s not a bad thing. Sure there are plenty of times I wish I could stay home and do all the things that come with that but at the end of the day it’s just not me. I just have to remind myself to slow down once in awhile and take in the everyday and that’s exactly what I did this past week.

So before I get into the work week grind let’s talk about this look. Once upon a time a maxi dress and a romper got married and had a baby. And here is what it looks like:

For those that don’t know a romper is a one piece outfit that has shorts. The shorts are pretty hidden because of the wrap feature of the maxi dress. You can easily move the opening over to show a sexy slit or you can keep it closed for a more kimono dress look. Three things I love: maxi dresses, rompers and kimonos. This one has it all!

This maxi romper is pretty versatile. I personally feel you could wear this to a wedding with heels like I wore here, but you could easily wear it with flat sandals and tone it down for a more casual feel. Erik and I laughed that my Japanese blood really came through in these pictures. With the dress pattern, dress style and hair you can really see it LOL.

Loved the price point of this maxi romper. Under $40 and the quality was good. It has a pretty sash that ties on the side and the length was perfect for me. I’m always a fan when I don’t have to bring dresses to be tailored. Two things I hate: Ironing and going to the dry cleaners/tailor. Stop rolling your eyes Mom! I try very hard to buy things that don’t require any of the above LOL.

I loved this dress so much that I did buy a second which is a similar style yet different. My plan is to feature that one in Thursday’s post. There were just too many photos to put both looks in one post. With a trip in November coming up it’ll be hard to find summer dresses if I wait to shop. These will both be perfect for where we are going. #earlyplanning

Enjoy your week friends and thank you as always for stopping by!
