Today's Outfit: The Last Minute Romper


After searching all spring and summer long for a romper and coming across zilch, I had long given up hope, when wouldn't you know it, last weekend at a rummage sale I came across this little Hawaiian print number and one exactly like it in blue for a dollar each. I also got the multicolored patchwork leather purse for 50 cents!!!

Unfortunately, summer is all but over and there won't be much time left to wear them... sigh. Oh well, at least the sun is shining bright today and better late than never I say!

Belt, sunnies, and shoes previously thrifted from Salvation Army, making today's outfit 100% thrifted, woohoo!

I love that romper (we call them playsuits here though)! If you need anyone to take it off your hands, I could give it a very good home...

Missa said...

Mila - Thanks dear, you are such a sweetheart and I'm sure you COULD pull it off, you're gorgeous! You have a great weekend too! :)

Skye - Thanks! I think I'll keep this one but seriously, I'm not as crazy about the blue one on me and would love for you to have it!

Flickrmail me your address and I'll send it too you, it would be so fun to see you wear it! Also, the weather is getting warmer for you, right?

Skye said...

Ooh wow! I would love the blue romper/playsuit! I'm sure I could find you a little present here too in my thrifty travels...

Off to Flickr mail right now!

PS. Well it's still freezing today, but spring will be here any day now.

I have been searching for a romper all summer too. I loved the little girl's ones at Target, so when I realized that fit into Target girl's size XL I went back to look for some, but to no avail.
This one is awesome though, love that back.
I too have found such a sense of community online, especially with other mamas but lately with other thrifters too. It's so fun :-)

This is amazing! What a great find. It's always great to score a thrifty gem, but so much better when it's something you've been looking for.

the colors and pattern on this are simply beautiful and suit you so well. great all thrifted outfit!

Milla said...

Awesomeness ensues! And hotness! Wow! Can't wait to see the blue one on Skye, lucky antepodeans with their summer just around the corner. I know, I know, most of our fellow bloggers and remixers are yearning for the fall, but having almost no summer, I'd like to get some more of it...ah well.

Ahhh your romper is GORGEOUS!

I just saw the blue version of this on Skye! You two are such inspirational ladies. I can't believe you found not one, but two of these fantastic rompers. You truly are the Thrift Goddess who walks among us!
