My
apologies, followers, no thrifted items in this outfit. I loved this
look too much to leave it out from my blogging. This romper was
purchased during my “romper phase” (about 3 summers ago). I loved the
print (and the pockets!) so much that I bought it despite its
backlessness (see other photo).
A backless romper or dress presents a
problem- do I wear a bra? No. Error, error, mayday. NO BRAS SHALL BE
WORN. If you’re a busty gal, or just not comfortable going braless, just
ignore this daring trend.
Even though I had purchased this piece, I
ignored it for the first year almost entirely. It’s taken me time to
realize that bold style choices do not have to ruin my life or stop me
from changing my later fashion choices. I won’t lie, I do a lot of
checking when I wear a piece like this. Am I covered? Am I comfortable?
It can be a challenge. But I’m not going to get any younger, and
therefore, any more appropriately aged to wear a piece like this. While
some pieces, like cardigans and pencil skirts can follow me for years,
this romper’s life in my closet is limited and it should be worn now.
The outfit served me well for an evening concert in the park-
lightweight to combat the heat and the casual setting made the revealing
nature of the dress perfectly acceptable.
