I think a romper would be really cute on you! Last summer, my very trendy European friend wore a ditsy floral short romper with flat oxfords and little ankle socks while traveling here in Boston, where it was as usual miserable, hot, and humid. She not only looked cute but stayed cool and comfy even with all the traipsing around the city we did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-335726 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:04:26 +0000 Maya 335726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I was convinced this was the one and was just about to hit "add to cart" before it occurred to me that I should probably check the price...</p> <p><a href="http://us.asos.com/Richard-Nicoll-Shirt-Richard-Nicoll-Shirt-Playsuit-With-Frilled-V-Front/w3quu/?iid=1484678&#038;SearchQuery=playsuit&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=200&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Black&#038;mporgp=L1JpY2hhcmQtTmljb2xsLVNoaXJ0L1JpY2hhcmQtTmljb2xsLVNoaXJ0LVBsYXlzdWl0LVdpdGgtRnJpbGxlZC1WLUZyb250L1Byb2Qv" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/Richard-Nic.....50L1Byb2Qv</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334472 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 23:54:58 +0000 quelinda 334472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this look done right, &amp; the one in the first link is fab.

Love the one you linked to, have you checked express? they have a similar one (military style) but a strapless, not sure how you feel about that? I'm going to be looking for one this summer as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334315 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:40:03 +0000 annagybe 334315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two rompers (one black and one brown) from Express that i got two summers ago. They were a knit material and similar to the one you posted. I loved them for summer dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334288 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 17:54:08 +0000 catgirl 334288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one made by Funktional in black silk - it is a bit more fitted and sleeveless, but I love it... I am not ashamed!

Well, I can't get the one I linked to because of price point, and it's sold out in my size anyway. </p> <p>I'm just afraid that the vintage/ditsy/ruffley ones will look juvenile on me because I already am so young-looking for my age. Someone recently told me I'm just one step away from being too cute to be taken seriously :\ I do not know if I should interpret that as a compliment or an insult...but it does mean I need to be careful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334154 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 12:33:18 +0000 Laura 334154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this romper (although I hate that word) - not juvenile at all. And it's on mega-sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334151 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 11:55:12 +0000 Janet 334151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I won't make fun of you because I bet you can totally rock those looks! You're young and slim, two things that make it a lot easier.</p> <p>I wouldn't rule out a jumpsuit if it were something like what Katiepea describes and fit and flattered me, but that would be a long stretch. I like the look on others but fear it would be a very hard task to find the right one for my 45yo pear-ish body.</p> <p>Rompers? Well, considering the last time I wore shorts that ended more than a inch above the knee was around 5 or 6 years ago, I'd have to say, not likely for me. They look best on people with fabulous legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334141 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 09:42:45 +0000 Katiepea 334141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;whispering &amp; hoping it doesn't turn you off!&gt;</p> <p>I had one of these that I wore when I was in my early twenties (the early 90's).</p> <p>I LOVED wearing it out and about. In fact, if I was young and had the figure *and* the opportunity, I would wear this style again.</p> <p>Yes, the jumpsuit was impractical. However, when on, I found it to be a very flattering, sophisticated and edgy outfit. And I can tell you I always, always, *always* received compliments when I wore it out and about, from both men and women. (It was silk in a muted peacock blue. Modest up top, with a halter neck and featuring a relatively low cut back. The legs were quite wide. I would wear it with metallic heels and dangly earrings and with my hair up.)</p> <p>May I live vicariously through you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334108 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 07:03:57 +0000 AJ 334108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, if you are excited about it, then I'm excited for you! Let's see one on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334104 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 06:57:24 +0000 RoseandJoan 334104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Maya I can't make fun of a look I find adorable, here in the UK the ditsy floral spaghetti strap variety has been popular as a beach cover up and festival wear and I have never felt the need to laugh. The type you have linked to looks perfect for city living! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334061 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 03:26:56 +0000 Heather 334061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own six rompers and have worn them since the 90s. I say yay, yeah, yep! LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334060 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 03:26:33 +0000 MNsara 334060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one you linked to is great! I can see it on you with some great wedge sandals (have you any?).</p> <p>My 22-y.o. loves to wear rompers, but hers usually have small ditsy prints and a vintage vibe. I prefer the the clean modern lines of the ASOS ones.</p> <p>Either way, when young and legs are still looking good - give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334056 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 02:53:25 +0000 cloud9 334056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>totally cute, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334055 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 02:49:06 +0000 puffenstuff 334055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them - they were a fringe trend in our summer just gone. I would totally wear them if I was years younger and had a better figure, cant wait to see you try one Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334027 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 02:01:05 +0000 Alecia 334027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the idea of them though I think it might be hard for me to find a flattering fit. I'm cheering you on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334009 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:36:20 +0000 Angie 334009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say thumbs up on this romper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-334003 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:32:45 +0000 Lisa 334003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, it doesn't look "toddler" at all. I hope you find a budget friendly version. I do think showing legs is the way to go for this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333996 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:26:57 +0000 Angie 333996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't I said you should get a romper, Maya? I may have dreamt it. </p> <p>I have been on Team Jumpsuit since coming back from NYFW last September - you know that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333995 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:26:49 +0000 Mo 333995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I was sorely tempted to buy a linen version of a black romper much like this last summer. And I am 15+ years older than you But I didn't. Still wondering if maybe I should have. I would only wonder what it might do to your larger bust . . . something I never have to think of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333989 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:23:09 +0000 Steph 333989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Taylor--I think you could totally pull off a romper. I have a college friend with a VERY similar body to yours (about 5'2, large bust, slim limbs) and she wore a romper to reunion two years ago and looked great. </p> <p>I think I would prefer you in a romper to a jumpsuit because part of the appeal of the romper is showing off your nice legs. A jumpsuit always seems like way too much fabric to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333978 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:05:20 +0000 taylor 333978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would look adorable...give it a shot anyway")<br /> Throw a denim jacket over </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333972 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 00:52:14 +0000 lyn* 333972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Modgirl; I see a romper and I want to run in the opposite direction; please show me it can be a good thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333971 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 00:50:52 +0000 modgrl 333971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally do not get these things but I am looking forward to seeing how you can style it.<br /> Make me a believer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-ahead-make-fun-of-me#post-333966 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 00:47:24 +0000 Maya 333966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm REALLY into jumpsuits and rompers lately. </p> <p>Rompers are especially tempting as hotter weather approaches. Just as easy and breezy as a dress, sans the modesty struggle. </p> <p>Sure I'd have to undress to use the bathroom, but it's a minor inconvenience.</p> <p>There are way too many overly-cutesy rompers out there, though, and that is off-putting. I don't want to look like I'm wearing an enlarged version of a toddler's garment. It has to be just right. This one is amazing but doesn't suit my budget :(</p> <p><a href="http://us.asos.com/Kookai-Kookai-Silk-Short-Zip-Front-Playsuit/vp1u7/?iid=1516747&#038;cid=9638&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=-1&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Black&#038;mporgp=L0tvb2thaS9Lb29rYWktU2lsay1TaG9ydC1aaXAtRnJvbnQtUGxheXN1aXQvUHJvZC8" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/Kookai-Kook.....XQvUHJvZC8</a>.</p> <p>Am I the only one?
