Bantu Knots + Playful Prints

Posted on August 6, 2015August 21, 2016

I love rompers. I’m obsessed. The romper is like the perfect combination between shorts and having the ‘flowiness’ and ‘femininity’ of a dress. Whether it’s a fete or walking down the street; rompers are the most functional articles of clothing known to man. The only negative would be having to use the bathroom but besides that it’s all good.

I love this  halter style romper I got from Asos like (literally) 4 years ago; such a long time that it’s sold out *sad face*. It’s a bright print that reminds me of home and just gives off a unique, West Indian flair that I love. Asos.com is romper-playsuit-jumpsuit heaven; click HERE for another favorite of mine.

I love bright colors and I don’t like being too ‘matchy’ but I still want a look that looks ‘put together’ and not ‘thrown together’. I paired my romper with some Xhilaration yellow wedges from Target that you can now find on Ebay and my favorite aviators (can’t remember where I got these) but you can find some similar ones at Rayban.

Last but not least, ‘le hair’. Mind you, Ive done bantu knots before but never really wore this style out.  Shyness, I suppose. But these were easy two-strand bantu knots and they fit the look perfectly.

A lot of my clothes are usually finds or pieces I’ve held on to for years; but don’t let a ‘sold out’ sign limit you. When I really want something, I resort to Ebay, yard sales, Facebook groups or even a friend; plus by that time you’ll probably get some pretty good deals and save a penny or two.

    First of all, I hope you don’t think I’m weird for saying this, but you’re legs look amazing in this romper and heels combination. Definitely serving me some gym inspiration. I’ve been loving fun tribal prints lately so I really like this pattern you’re wearing. Unfortunately, I haven’t really rocked rompers but I’ve wanted to for a while so I just need to get out there and buy one.
