Ted Baker Silk Molye "Playsuit" Romper Review


This is something fun I ran across while shopping in a local boutique.  One-pieces typically don't work for me because I am long-waisted (this goes for swimwear, too) but when I saw this beauty I HAD to try it on.  Part of me was hoping it would not fit ... the "you-so-do-not-need-this" and "it's too expensive" part of me .... the another part of me, the "this-is-so-freakin'-cute!" part of me was pretty pumped that it fit like it was made for me...



I'm liking it with black accessories (I'll picture that later down the road) and even without the belt and long necklaces.  The color felt more tealish once I got it home, but in the store it was more royal blue. These pics were just taken quickly so I could make a decision to keep or not.  PA-LEASE excuse the mess that is my life behind me!  lol


Issues:  bathroom .... yes, if you are not flexible enough to zip and button yourself, you will need a helped in the bathroom!  silk ... not kid, drink, life-friendly!

This is the picture for it on Zappos.com ...  I had a hard time finding it online very much, so I'm hoping this can be my go-outfit for looking chic for a lunch with the ladies or night out on the town and I won't see any  outfit twins!  


For reference, I'm wearing a Ted Size 2 - which is either a US size 4 or 6 depending on what website you refer to!

Have you gotten on the one-piece bandwagon?

Old News - Oaks and Derby 'Fits

This is clearly a little late in posting, but I really put a lot of thought and moolah into my outfits for The Kentucky Oaks and Derby this year, so I would at least like to showcase them here, and possibly lend some outfit ideas, by posting them here.

Oaks outfit:


Cami - J. Crew Cotton stretch cami in white
Cardigan - J. Crew Fresco Cardigan
Skirt - J. Crew Stretch Sateen Pencil Skirt in Soft Seashell (in-store only color)
Shoes - J. Crew Paige Chunky Heel Sandals in Metallic Blush
Necklace - F21
Headband - J. Crew

PS - FFM, via Polyvore and her FABULOUS blog helped me coordinate this outfit! Thanks again FFM for your fashion talent!




Derby Outfit:



Dress - J. Crew Silk Habotai Gladiola Dress
Hat- Dee's Crafts
Necklace- J. Crew Botanical Necklace in Gray
Bracelet- Von Maur
Cardigan - J. Crew Bouquet Cardigan in Pewter
Shoes- Ann Taylor Loft Gray strappy sandals

I cannot even tell you how hard I had to work out to fit back into this dress in the hip area after our trip to Jamaica!! It was worth it though! I love how light and airy this dress is! Do you have it? What do you think? There were several items that came in the same Gladiola print this year ... I really like it... but I don't buy a lot of silk clothing, with a 2-year-old it's basically a kiss-of-death!
