Today I’m taking a look at one of my very favorite styles for summer…a romper with an overskirt, in a fun Finding Nemo tiki print from Her Universe!
I love a skirt over a romper, (or even shorts under a skirt or dress), but I don’t have very many of that style in my wardrobe. When I saw this set on the Her Universe website, I fell in love. The colors are absolutely beautiful, and the tiki print is so fun for summer! I did have trouble getting the fit right…I ordered a 2X, which is my normal Her Universe size, and it was so tight, I couldn’t even zip it. I returned that in favor of a 3X, which was laughably huge. Since I did get it on sale, I decided to see how much tailoring the romper would cost (I moved the button on the skirt myself), and when I found out it was about the same as the money I had saved on the set in the first place, I decided it was well worth it. I had it back just in time to wear for my birthday last weekend, too!
I love how high-quality the fabric is…it has a great amount of structure and really holds its shape!
I went with bright and bold accessories, including a pair of blue hair flowers, a Hula Lula Tiki Girl brooch from Lipstick and Chrome by Miss Fluff, a Meteor Jewelry Starlite necklace, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles.
It’s such a gorgeous look with the accompanying skirt!
But the romper is also stunning on its own!
I really love this particular style, because unlike many vintage-inspired rompers, it isn’t excessively short, and I also like that it has straps that cross and hook in the back instead of having a halter tie (although it does make it a little more challenging to put on and take off!).
It’s the perfect tropical look for summer!
Her Universe had a similar set in a different print last summer that I have wished I had gotten…now I’m just hoping that I might have a set like this to look forward to every year, because I would happily add more of them to my wardrobe!
