weekends were made for rompin' around

weekends were made for wearing rompers

(and ripped jeans, and cropped tops, and leggings,

and pretty much everything else you want to

 but can't wear to the office), right?

whether spring, summer, or fall, rompers are one

of my favorite styles. as they weather changes, 

adding a pair tights, ankle boots, and an

 oversized sweater can make rompers 

seasonally appropriate; rompers with long sleeves 

are a great cool-weather alternative, too!

my office requires business professional attire

monday through thursday, but blue denim can be

worn on friday (sadly, my super ripped jeans are not

acceptable, despite trying to sneakily wear them on

one or more occasions). rompers are another no-go,

which means i am drawn to these items first when

heading out on the weekends. who doesn't 

love a romper for brunch or ripped jeans and

flannel while running errands?

this weekend, sleep is a top priority!

work, school, babysitting, and adjusting

to the change in weather kept this girl particularly

busy. that, and attempting to unpack in order to get settled

in my new home; i have been a nomad for the past

several weeks, bouncing back and forth 

between different houses while my new, permanent 

home was being worked on. alas, it is just

about ready!

do you have any fun plans this weekend?

if the weather cooperates, i am hoping to also

take photos for my blog, go for a walk with a girlfriend,

and stop by a local pumpkin patch (oh the photo

opportunities at the pumpkin patch!).

romper: nordstrom (old; similar here), rings: forever 21,

purse and wedges: thrifted (via seattle goodwill)

i have a slight confession. amidst moving, i 

packed up the majority of my shoes, purses, and other

accessories and put them in my storage unit. 

when putting together an outfit for this planned

photo shoot, i didn't have much in the way of

end-of-summer or fall attire. i thought

this romper would be fun to style, and i challenged

myself to thrift pieces to wear with it for less

than $30. as you likely know, $30 can go

a long way when thrift or consignment shopping.

unfortunately, the brand has worn off my 

adorable fringe bag, but the cost of the purse

and my franco sarto sandals was $25!

thrifting for the win!
