The $25 romper

Floral is having such a big moment in my wardrobe right now, so when I saw this romper for just under $25, I knew I had to snag it while it was still available. It's hard to beat an entire outfit for $25! Just add some shoes and simple accessories and voila, you are all set! I wore this on Saturday to take his mom to our favorite brunch spot for an early Mother's Day celebration. They aren't open on Sundays, which is why we decided to observe the holiday on Saturday instead. The temps were in the high 70s, low 80s, so this easy number was the perfect fit! And it was very forgiving for all the food I inhaled, too!

Outfit details--- Sunnies: Quay "High Key" | Necklace: Kendra Scott "Elisa" (other colors,/ metals here) | Bag: Tory Burch (option, budget option) | Romper: American Eagle "AEO wrap romper" | Shoes: Vince Camuto (option, option) ---

The fit

Based on the reviews, I sized down and ordered an extra small. I am religiously a size small in tops and dresses at American Eagle, so I definitely agree that this runs just a little bit big. I find that rompers tend to be really short waisted, and while I myself am short waisted, I like for my waistbands to fall a little bit lower to help with my proportions. I feel like this one has a little bit of a longer torso to it, which I appreciate. 

Dramatic, romantic design

The bell sleeves give so much drama to this romper, which makes me so happy! The blush color, the floral print, the bell sleeves - all of this makes the romper special and a little dressier than your typical warm-weather-onesie. I ended up wearing flat sandals with this to brunch, but I wanted to show how easy it is to dress this up with simple pumps and a metallic clutch. I had three mimosas at brunch, and having to get in and out of this in the bathroom was not a big ordeal. Yes, you do basically still need to get nekked, but it wasn't too much of a hassle.

There is definitely no shortage of floral romper options out there! I found a few more that are swoon-worthy below the $25 price point if you are interested!

Clockwise from top: 1- wine floral | 2- red and white floral | 3- blue floral | 4- white floral | 5- orange floral

I'm trying to get myself back into my normal routine this week. Last week was difficult, though being able to go to work and stay busy helped keep me from crying 24/7. I can't thank you enough for all of the sweet notes and comments you all have sent me throughout these last few days. It means so much to know that you care about us and our little pup, and your comforting words helped carry us through such an emotional week. I'm still heartbroken, I'm not sure that's something that ever goes away. But you do just have to accept it and move forward, trying to focus on the good memories we had with him! His oncologist sent us a sympathy card with such a powerful note inside. It makes me cry to read it, but happy at the same time:

Grieve not, 

nor speak of me with tears,

but laugh and talk of me 

as if I were beside you....

I loved you so - 

'twas heaven here with you.
