I'm usually really subpar at remixing the pieces in my closet.  I have so many statement dresses -- and so few neutral separates -- that it makes it difficult for me to wear things in several different ways.  But I do love remixing a romper with a skirt!  This romper is really cute and retro, and I can finally wear it (I bought it in a size bigger than I normally would have and then had it altered), but the length of the shorts is a little long (and unflattering) on me.  But with this red skater skirt worn over it, the problem was solved!  I also decided to use the waist tie from the romper as a little belt with a bow on the skirt to tie (hah!) it all together.

This outfit is very patriotic-looking.  But since this week has been the first stretch of really hot summer days that we've had, I thought it was only fitting that I don a truly summery ensemble.

Have a great Thursday, and stay cool!
