life lessons for fern #3.

Dear Fern,
This weekend you wore the cutest little rainbow romper.  It was absolutely adorable on you, because rompers are precious on babies, but it made me remember a time when I bought a romper as a grown-up.

It was about two years ago and rompers were a trend at the time.  I promptly went out and bought one even though it was less than flattering on my body type.  I wore it approximately one time and never even left the house in it, because it just wasn’t a good look for me.  No matter how cute it looked in magazines, the romper trend just wasn’t for me.
The moral of the story is:
Don’t fall prey to trends that don’t work for you.
Following fashion and dabbling with trends is part of the fun of being a girl and I can’t wait to see you develop your own sense of style, but never lose track of yourself and what looks good on you.
But, in the event that rompers actually do come back in style when you’re older, I’m pretty sure you’re going to be able to rock it with those lovely long legs of yours.
Love,
Mom

  1. I have never braved a romper myself, but my does Fern look precious in hers.

  2. Oh she looks precious!
    She is totally rocking the romper.

  3. I have some pretty awesome pictures of my mom and I rocking rompers back in the early 80’s. You should put that things back on and take some pics 😉

  4. Totally! I don’t like to follow trends in general because it ends up costing too much money to not be able to wear that trendy piece fashionably a couple of seasons later.

  5. Little babies Iike Fern look adorable in rompers but us adults, well depending on the style, we could look like a 12 year old. Unless you pair up a romper with sexy heels and loads of jewelry, rompers should be left to be worn at home or left for the babies to wear.

  6. AMEN.

  7. Oh my gooooosh. That smile. And the sneaky way she’s looking ABOVE HER HEAD to get her eyes in the picture. I love her. She is TOO precious. God has blessed you so much with a beautiful happy baby. Yay!

  8. yeah, the adult romper didn’t look good on many… Miss Fern you look GREAT in yours though 🙂

  9. I tried a romper once, and had major wedgie issues…not a good look:-) xoxo

  10. So sweet and true. Rompers and I are not good bedfellows…SO many reasons why, lol.
