The 4th of July is one of my favorite times of year! BBQ's, fireworks and maybe a good game of slip n' slide wiffle ball! So this year, I thought what better way to celebrate our nation's birth than in a playsuit! That's right, a playsuit! (It's actually called that! And yes, I feel like a toddler and I love every second of it!) I snagged this retro jumper at Jack Wills in Newport, RD while my husband and I were on our anniversary trip through New England. I don't know about you, but I had never heard of Jack Wills. Apparently they are all throughout the NE (just not in NYC...womp womp). I call it the British version of a Madewell or J. Crew. (okay don't judge me that I'm wearing a British brand on America's holiday! Maybe I should have left that part out!) But the best part is they have an Outlet store online! (Yippee!) This romper caught my eye on the sale rack but I'll be honest with you, I wasn't sure at first about the sleeves. It was definitely an example of don't judge a book by it's cover because when I tried it on for fun, I immediately fell in love and thought it was one of the cutest things I had ever seen! And since jumpsuits are back in a big way, I think the romper, onesie, playsuit...whatever you want to call it (although  now I prefer playsuit!) is here to stay! While going to the bathroom may be tough, they are just so playful (see what I did there!) and perfect for any day to night event. 

Sizing Tip: I will say their sizes run really small so don't freak out when you have to get a bigger size. And if you're tall like me, you might have to go for an even bigger size so the shorts aren't too short in the back. But the tie around the waist brings it all together.

I hope everyone has an amazing 4th of July weekend! God Bless America!!
