WHAT I WORE:: SPRING STAPLES
Lightweight scarf
I'm pulling a Kate Middleton and wearing something twice. Ok thrice, this is the third appearance of this romper on the blog (I knew the day would come when I ran out of outfits to do outfit posts with). You may recognize it as my ACL attire and also the outfit I wore on family vacation, which incidentally is virtually the same as this one. Whatever.
Fun fact: This romper used to be a full length pantsuit. A strange vintage find in which the pant legs ballooned out and then tapered down to be tight around the ankles (picture a black clown suit). So one day, I took a pair of scissors and cut the legs off to create what is now a staple of mine. If you look closely, you'll see that I never hemmed the edges (and don't intend to).
Seeing as this is a Spring Staples post, you'll probably seeing these pieces throughout spring. For example those sandals - they are going to get me through spring AND summer with their slightly edgy basicness.
Another fun fact: I buy men's scarves. I always prefer the fit and color of them, and this scarf is no exception. I can't actually imagine a man wearing it, but I know I wear it at least once a week. Scarves are perfect for spring because they're a good piece to wrap up in when the temperature suddenly drops, or the AC is on too high. I always have one with me at work.
The hat is another fav, but I must warn you: there is a fine line between park ranger and cowboy with this hat, depending on how far back or forward you wear it on the head. Just something to keep in mind.
