Romper Round-Up: 11 Cute & Cheap Picks for Summer


Cute & cheap rompers for spring

I had never been certain about the romper look in the past. I loved the idea of their uniqueness and playful vibe. But I was never sure if I could actually pull one off, and it didn’t help when people (males in particular) would express openly that they were not a fan of the trend. So, I would hang it back up on the store rack with remorse and feel sad that I couldn’t take the risk. Rompers have been one of those fashion trends that women either love or hate, embrace or cringe at the sight of them.

However, on a recent trip to Forever21, I found a romper with a pattern I fell in love with. I took it into the dressing room, put it on and was surprised at how much I adored it. So then I thought, “Who cares what other people think?” What matters is that I like it. Any Budget Babe and fashionista knows that this is true about any piece that might be slightly “out there,” whether it be clothing, a bag, or jewelry. It’s all about how you wear it! So if you have yet to brave a romper, I challenge you to give it another try with one of these cute options I’ve rounded up for you!

You are definitely rockin that romper!

I've always been questionable about them too, but then I found one at Macy's on sale and snatched it up! This was back in October so I have yet to wear it, but maybe this weekend when I'm visiting Nashville it'll be warm enough!
