ootd: how to wear an orange romper (09/12/11)

romper: h&m
vest: mom
necklace: aldo
bracelets: zellers

oh, the joys of a $25 outfit. shoes not included, of course. (however, since all my sandals are "in the shop"- aka the shoe goo was drying, i wore my $1 old navy flip flops. oh, the joys of a $26 outfit.) when it comes to rompers and day dresses, h&m is my one-stop shop. they have a large variety of styles and okay-quality materials. after all, i'm not going to be wearing the same dress more than twice a month. unless they're basic solid colours, they're too memorable a clothing item.

sunday, i was digging around in my mom's '90s clothing. you would not believe the matching suits and pants she's got. this striped grey vest has a terrifying bottom counterpart. yet it was a cute neutral vest to tone down the traffic sign orange. i particularly adore the pockets on this romper, but the back of it is not very flattering, which the vest disguises.

nail polish in mellow yellow, grade six dice bracelets, and that same bird necklace from the ex. scandalous repeat, eh? (Not that I even believe in that idea.) nonetheless, i doubled it up to give it an edgier look, and to avoid having it hang down beside where the waist cinch ties.
