Upon first meeting me after finding out what I do, men always ask what I think of their outfit. It’s funny because women never ask, it’s only men who do (for that I am grateful). Maybe it’s because men won’t take offense to my opinion or maybe they generally want advice. Lucky I haven’t come across a situation where I can’t at least pick out one thing that I like about an outfit.

One of my favorite things to wear in the summer are rompers. They are easy to throw on and always feel comfortable. Most of the rompers that I own are for everyday wear. An easy outfit to throw on and go about my day. I wanted a romper I could wear out at night, feel comfortable (this is a loose fit), but still look elevated. This floral romper with its beautiful ruffle detailing and print, I knew would be perfect for spring and cool summer nights.
Here in New York we haven’t seen in the sun in many months. Today the sun is finally out and it is 80 degrees! I am about to take a long afternoon break, head to the park and lay out. For someone who does not live near a beach I sure went a little crazy this season with buying new swimsuits. I gravitate towards high waist bottom two-piece bikinis. I find them to be chic and retro. Anyway, I usually only buy one but there were so many cute options out there, I couldn’t decided. So far I have this, this (my favorite!), and this one. Evidently they are all from J.Crew. I do need to branch out a little but J.Crew makes such cute swimsuits! I do adore Mara Hoffman, Lisa Marie Fernandez, and Solid and Striped swimwear as well. Here are some of my current favorites!

Every time I wear this dress I think of the Tom Petty song “Wildflowers”. Not only because of the pretty wildflower print, but of it’s easy feel. It’s not restricted, only cinched at the waist by a tie. The skirt was made for twirling, living the carefree summer life. A life among the wildflowers.

A dress, like this one from Kate Spade New York, is easy to throw on and you can wear it anywhere. Here I paired it with sandals but I would also pair it with my Keds or flats for a more casual look. Wearing floral dresses is a quintessential summer outfit. Right now I have a thing for such dresses that makes me feel the endless, carefree days of the warm, sunny season. Like anything is possible, life is full of love and pretty things. That is how I feel in the summertime.
