Jumpers vs. Rompers

Jumpers always make me think of my first day of kindergarten when my mom put me in a pink corduroy jumper with a white blouse underneath.  The jumper had straps- very similar to those on overalls, except the bottom was a skirt.  It also had pockets, and I loved it.  In the U.K., jumpers are what we would call sweaters.  Either way, it’s a cool word for various items of clothing.  Just make sure you don’t look like the 60-something woman who played the piano at my cousin’s high school graduation.

A romper, on the other hand, is more like a playsuit.  In short, this is a loose, light-fitting one-piece garment, similar to a jumper in that the top is attached to the bottom.  The main difference is that the bottoms are usually shorts and they may be gathered (like a fancier version of the onesie underclothes, which newborns may wear).  All in all, the romper is a fairly practical item as far as physical activity is concerned- unless you need to you the bathroom in which case you better hope you’re not in a hurry since you need to practically undress.  Rompers have had a recent comeback among the hipster elite and A-list celebs, but there’s no reason why six-months-from-now, people won’t be saying you look like an overgrown, skanky extra from Barney.

High Color Fashion

The girl who wants to be noticed from miles and miles away will certainly want these shorts. These hot fuchsia Petal Shorts by Peter Jensen are showstoppers. Made out of silk and cut with a high waist, these shorts will help you show off those legs and grab more attention than Beyonce for $310.

I’m All Caught in Ruffles

Alexander Wang is my hero, because he is both an innovative designer and also a good Dj. These luxurious Paper Bag Waits Shorts by Wang come with a paperbag waistline, similar to the style seen on the Prada runway for spring. Not only are these shorts tres femme, but they are also high-tech in a fashion sense. Crafted out of a fabric blend that could not possibly have a name such as silk or cotton, these shorts are on sale for $275. I love the little ruffles on the pockets, because they can compliment a polished look.

Purple Denim Shorts

How fun are these shorts?  I love that denim shorts are coming back in style, but the color of this particular pair from Shop Bop will ensure that you don’t end up in the same duds as everyone else.  Offering more flexibility than most skirts, these would look killer with everything from heels and a flimsy empire-waist top to flip flops, a skinny tank, and big sunglasses.
