The Look for Less: Bebe Silk Short Romper


Bebe's silk short romper in a safari-esque shade called ripe avocado costs $109 at bebe.com. A very grown-up take on the romper trend!


While this romper by Apt. 9 for Kohl's has its differences, it's a great way to get a similar look for less at just $27.99. Pair it with gladiator flats for day or strappy heels for night. Click any image to shop.

I have to say--overall I'm not a fan of the romper trend, despite how good models look in them. They just don't seem appropriate for any everyday-wear situation. However, I did attend a wine festival this weekend when it was extremely hot and humid, out in an open field, and I saw several women wearing cute rompers and it didn't look childish or too out of place. Aside from this kind of activity, or at the beach or an outdoor concert, though, rompers just look weird to me.

Every time I see these romper things I am reminded of the fact that my mother used to put me in them when I was a toddler. A TODDLER! This trend is for children. There are much more flattering things for women to wear. On the flip side, I am apparently ahead of my time. :-)

Sigh ... I would wear that Bebe outfit, if it were a dress. I, like other commentators, just can't get on board with the idea of an adult version of the onesie. And onesies have better bathroom access!
