Little Black Romper

Taking advantage of the sweet joys of a fleeting summer

These days you'll find me doing everything I can to make this magical summer feeling last forever. That includes impulse buying lace trimmed rompers (on Amazon of all places!) that I know I will only realistically be able to wear once or twice before fall snatches my tan away from me.

"For less than the price of a Chipotle burrito with guac (always with quac), there was no justifiable reason not to get this romper..."

I tried not to buy this romper on account of the fact that I really didn't need it—I'm trying to be an adult and save my dollars—but Amazon's prices can be ridiculously affordable. For less than the price of a Chipotle burrito with guac (always with quac), there was no justifiable reason not to get this romper, even if I would only wear it a few times.

I know the joy I get from this summery romper is fleeting, with September right around the corner, but it's one I think we all should experience sometime: the joy that comes from something being made sweeter by its impermanence. Summer, along with this super cheap romper, won't last forever, but I'll celebrate them both while they're here.

life in technicolor

Let me apologize for the crazy headache you're most likely getting from this bright a** pink romper. It might be a lot to process for Monday, but for the past weekend it was perfect.

My summer internship is over and I fully enjoyed my weekend without the looming 9-5 over my head. It's back to the regular for me -- student + retail combo when school starts later this month.

I'm going to make the most of the what's left of summer between now and then, and yes, it will include more obnoxiously bright colors. Adjust your screens accordingly.

Fun note: the pattern of this Lilly Pulitzer clutch is "Lulu" and has flamingoes on it, but most importantly was just as bright as the romper so obviously, I had to pair them up. I mean, if you're gonna go bright, why not go all the way.
