You guys! Last week, I couldn’t resist wearing my Fourth of July outfit a little early. It was Friday and I was feeling festive!
Garrett, Teddy, and I are all flying down to Florida to visit our families for the holiday. What are the odds that Garrett’s mom and my parents would live two hours apart?! It’s such an easy drive and I’m very happy we get to see everyone while we’re down there. We’re actually flying down on the fourth and then we’ll be there for a week. I think I’ll wear something more casual (white jeans and a blouse) on the plane and then change into this amazing romper for the day and night!
Perfect for a Florida poolside party!
Okay, so let me sell you on this romper for a second. I hate rompers. I really do. They look okay on some people, but I think they’re not the most universally flattering things out there. I was so, so skeptical when I read that this was not a dress. However, it’s essentially a dress. No one except for you will know it’s a romper. It’s like a cute little tank dress with a skort-like slip underneath. (The bottom half fits almost identically to the skort I wore here.)
It also has smocking on the top which I think really takes the fit to a new level. I felt so comfortable in this all day and can’t wait to wear it again this weekend.
Lilly ships really quickly so there’s still time to get this in time for Saturday if you hurry!
You are right about rompers, they aren't the most flattering, and don't get me started on needing to go to the bathroom… I love the print on yours, Carly. It's perfect for the 4th!
I'm obsessed with this post- you are the cutest! I wish we could spend the 4th together as one big happy family, with Teddy of course. Miss you my beauty so much!

Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!

What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Ooh, I like how it's a "hidden" romper! It doesn't hurt that it's absolutely adorable too!
