Rompers and jumpsuits have been making the rounds of late, and I admit I was a bit dubious about this latest trend. Running around in a onesie like a little kid seemed a bit ridiculous. However, after trying one on, I discovered that they are, perhaps unsurprisingly, wonderfully comfortable and roomy. While I am a dress fanatic, it is nice to not have to worry about one's skirt flying up (particularly in Chicago's windy weather). I was particularly drawn to this Anthropologie romper because of its fun pattern and detailing. I also adore its open back, giving it some much needed ventilation for those hot summer days. Perfect for an outing in the park for a little croquet! It is such a fun, delightfully old-fashioned game to play on a warm summer afternoon, and a lot more fun than just laying out on a beach towel and baking. I also quite love these little Keds for Kate Spade sneakers made of cork of all things, which I feel gives them a unique edge over more traditional sneakers.
