Everyone knows how much I love rompers and playsuits. Apart from shorts, they are the most comfortable to be in, and if you pick the right one, you will look effortlessly chic and ready to rock the town.

So what is "the right romper"? For one, the material must not look cheap. Well, you can get one off the racks of a high-end boutique and that easily meets the mark. But if you are like me, who never believes spending my entire month's salary on a single piece of apparel (branded or not), you can still look presentable with affordable options. Look out for structured and thicker materials, and they must fit you nicely - the straps should sit nicely on the shoulders, and the cloth should hug you at the waist to accentuate curves.

Recently, I have found my perfect black romper that is so worthy to go on a magazine cover. It took me almost forever to pick out the best photos for this feature; you won't imagine how many awesome shots B took of me in it. I have a whole arsenal of rompers in my wardrobe, but this new addition is definitely a piece that I will find another reason to wear it again - soon.

The thick cotton-polyester blend material gives it a chiseled cut, and hides any bulges from that heavy weekend dinner. My favorite parts of the romper has got to be the cut-outs (no prizes if you've already guessed it) and the open back - a winning combo for a tres chic look. If you are not a fan of black, there is also an option of white. There is really no reason to not buy this visually-arresting piece.

A huge thank you to Lilyrae for sending this romper over! I love it soooo much.
