noel vallens: stripes forever

today it’s so lovely out and i have no work, so this post is going to be short and sweet so i can get outside!   i saw this jumpsuit on etsy a few months back, and bookmarked it thinking, do i REALLY need a full suited romper?  a few weeks later, after rummaging around in my favorites, i re-discovered it, and that it was on sale, so without even looking at the measurements (eeks!) i bought it. 

i was pleasantly surprised by this little number.  first, the fit is incredible!  with rompers, torso length is critical and i got very lucky.  second, it’s more adorable in person than the fuzzy photos i was looking at on etsy.

i do love this thing, but the first time i wore it i had the eerie feeling that it reminded me of something.  then i figured it out.  this romper is the lovechild of a car mechanic and beetlejuice.  yikes!

and, today i’m also wearing my new cutler and gross of london shades that i picked up in greenport.  i love their thick frames, and the shop seller said that she had a pair, made by the same brand, that lady gaga wears!  if only i’d gotten there a few hours earlier! 

and with the lady beetlejuice outfit, i stacked up lots of silver bangles and rings.  have a great weekend!
