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.

I think I want a jumpsuit....

I'm kind of sort of obsessed with rompers. I think they're totally adorable. I am, however, fully aware that I do not have the body type that was meant for rompers. So I will just covet from a distance and attempt to make my friends wear them.

But you know what I could pull off? A jumpsuit. Seriously. Belted and with a pair of high heels.

I was on the fence about it, but then I saw Joy Behar in one on The View yesterday and I thought to myself, "If Joy Behar can pull a jumpsuit off, surely I can pull off a jumpsuit." It was budget week on The View and they said the jumpsuit was only $20 from some store called Daffys. Kathy has since informed me that Daffys is a totally gross store where I would probably break into hives and throw up if I ever walked into one. So no Daffys jumpsuit for me.

But wherever shall I get mine? Now that I know they exist for $20, I'm really not willing to drop $200 on the ones I saw at shopbop.com.

Enter this Arden B. jumpsuit. It's the shape I want, it's under $100, and the back is pretty cute. Hmm.... this may be purchased soon but I'm still on the fence.
