Romper, my favorite outfit for summer. I got so excited when i found this romper at Francesca’s. I live in shorts and lightweight blouses all summer long. Rompers can do both and not much styling needed, you throw in a few accessories and you are good to go. That’s why i love rompers because they are so convenient , it’s like you are in a onesie all day. It’s a perfect summer staple to add to your summer wardrobe.
I love the details of this romper, especially the ruffles along the bottom of the shorts and the ruffles on the sleeves. The ruffles on the shorts gives that flared look and gives the illusion of a longer and skinnier legs. I am 4″11 in person but most people told me that i look a bit taller on the photos. Here’s my secret, i wear clothes that make me look tall just like this romper here and most of all, my pictures are taken from the bottom pointing up. Heels is a must for me when i do outfit shots, once in awhile i wear flats but most of the time i wear heels and i changed to flat shoes after taking pictures. It depends on the situation when i really have to, but i always bring flat shoes with me.
Ok back to the romper, the material and quality is topnotch and well- made. Not the wear and toss kind of clothes or those one-wash and it’s done, not at all. I also love the style of it, very modest it’s not showing too much skin except the legs. I am very comfortable chasing my pre-schooler in this.

Growing up from a tropical country, the Philippines. I wore a lot of floral dresses , chiffon mini dresses and light breathable shirts. It’s my go to outfit for the perfect tropical weather all year round. Just talking about it right now, it makes me miss the place. I can’t wait to visit there again with my husband and the kids. This time, the kids will be more aware of their surroundings and most of all they would remember their visit. It’s totally different from the US. In the island of Cebu where i used to live, it will only take 30 mins to go to any beach in the city.
At some point in my life, my dad had a job in a town away from the city. So my parents rented a house in a little town by the beach for two years and it was amazing. We all strolled and played at the beach all day, we ate fresh caught sea foods everyday, all our vegetables are organic. The only entertainment we had was playing by the beach picking up sea shells, building sand castles and watching tv with only two channels. I remembered when we moved in that little town, i was complaining a lot because i didn’t have access to anything that i was accustomed to in the city. I had no friends, no mall , two channels on the tv and most of all new school on which i complained about it too because it was a small school.
Life was very simple.
I didn’t get it at that time. My parents were not so keen in explaining stuff to us kids, you just kinda have to figure it out yourself. At first, it felt like a torture living there because i felt like i was always bored, but as time went by you get used to everything, you build friendships and you learned to love the place. It was the best place i ever lived in my life. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves that i listened to every night until it made me doze off to sleep, was music to my ears.
When we visit the Philippines again, i want to take my husband and my kids to that little town where i spent the most amazing years of my childhood. Sometimes we don’t realize that the biggest impact in our lives are the simple things. We have to remind ourselves to appreciate what we have and not compare our lives or ourselves to others, because all of us have a different journey. We all have a different story.
Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful day.

When summer comes, rompers are my favorite outfits. It’s actually my go to piece of clothing. I don’t mind if my bathroom breaks are kinda tasking as long as i feel good about myself wearing it. I’m a petite woman and i always struggle about my height. To be honest, my first priority when i shop for an outfit is to make sure i don’t look shorter and then i have to make sure it’s comfortable two. Elongation and comfort goes hand in hand. You will rarely see me in sneakers or in a bulky looking flat shoes. I don’t care if it’s the comfiest of all shoes, if it doesn’t make me look tall. Bye Felicia!
When it comes to clothing, rompers are so easy to wear, easy to style and shows a lot of legs that makes you look taller. Also, you won’t have to encounter the problem of finding the perfect length and this romper from Pinkblush just fits the bill. I also love the embroidery accent and ruffles on the sleeves. This romper can’t be any be more perfect. I just love it ! I guarantee, you will love it too. This romper is gifted to me by Pinkblush, but even if it’s not it is something i would buy for myself.
