EWP Trial: The Outnet; Verdict: FAIL

Since I became a housewife, I've become a really big fan of the transition tee. Give me a little puff sleeve or a little applique and I'm in casual cute housewife heaven. But after spending 3 years in a law firm, my closet is really really lacking on tees. I have like 2. So I've been picking up a few here and there lately.

I saw this plain, but cute, tee from See by Chloe on theoutnet.com the other day and I thought, hey, why not order it. I can barely find a $30 tee at Ann Taylor Loft, so this was super reasonably priced. I had to this point never ordered from theoutnet.com because I'm generally in the camp of "If it's on super sale, then there's something super wrong with it." And just this once I put my non-super sale rule on hold because I thought, hey, it's a t-shirt. The picture looks super straight forward. Plain lavendar tee. No big deal.

And then it arrived, and to my supreme confusion it was way too wide and way too short. Who on earth was it meant to fit? In the words of my friend Kim, "It's like a belly shirt for an obese person." Yeah, it definitely got sent back immediately. I only wish I had taken a picture of it on before I packed it up, y'all would have been super entertained. Drats!

Verdict: I will definitely not be shopping at The Outnet again.

Lord, Help Me

Remember how just yesterdat I said I couldn't pull off rompers? Well, I apparently thought that meant I should immediately go out and buy one.

What the what???

Nope, nothing has changed. I'm still pretty sure I shouldn't be wearing one. But I just had to try it.

I went in search of a jumpsuit to try on and report back to all of you about, but apparently since it is almost summer and all, jumpsuits are all cleared out and only rompers exist in stores. And, in the name of science, I thought I'd try one on. I always tell people to try things on, so I decided to follow my own advice.

Only problem: I let the fake flattery of the sales lady get to me. I'm a sucker for a compliment. So I bought it.

What was I thinking?

I've tried it on for Mr. EWP, who hates jumpsuits and rompers, and this was his response: "Um... well, it's a romper..... Don't you think it's too short?"

Not exactly glowing praise. And, yes, I'm 28 years old and this is probably too short.

Experiment concluded: I definitely am not meant for rompers.

Oh, and it's totally annoying to have to take off all your clothes to go to the bathroom. And as someone who pees more than anyone she's ever met, this is definitely a bad bad clothing decision.
