A Wild Tonic Vintage

Living in a shore town is proving to be quite a sartorial challenge so far. The weather can be so different here compared to my parents' house or my office. There's even a big difference between the coastline and my apartment four blocks inland! Once summer hits, it's just going to be hot all the time, and getting dressed will involve throwing a dress over a bathing suit. Since it's still spring and the temperature keeps fluctuating, I've developed a system to stay comfortable throughout the day with some transitional spring essentials.

Today I'm partnering with Betabrand to talk about these spring essentials. Betabrand is a company whose focus is on versatile and comfy clothes that make a statement both in the office and on the streets.

It's always fun to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to fashion. Rompers and cocktail dresses aren't frequently a part of my wardrobe. I'm so grateful that the kind folks at Tobi.com recently reached out to me to review some of their products, because these two pieces will be in heavy rotation all through spring and summer. I think the next stop on the Comfort Zone Train is probably bodysuits, but let's talk about these day and night looks. The romper is blousy and comfortable and perfect for drinking beers on the beach. I paired it with sandals and a cool pin from a local AP shop. The dress is so unique, I decided to keep it simple with my favorite black velvet wedges and a little jewelry. It will be perfect for a night of dancing at Porta or Paradise (or both)!
