When I was little I often had dreams of being the fourth Charlie’s Angel.   Maybe that’s why at first glance Silence and Noise’s $68Ruffle Front Jumper appealed to me. Looking at it online at Urban Outfitters, I had visions of tanned legs, flowing locks and a pair of ass-kickin’ heels. Although the word “jumper” conjured visions of terry cloth, second grade and a hideous pair of bangs.  A moment of indecision and a readily available credit card swung the vote to “might be cute” and a few clicks later it was on its way. 

Several days later it was at my door and fortified by some Trader Joe’s 2 buck chuck, I took the plunge.   I started with the shoes…gorgeous gold peep toes, so far so good.  Next the hair… took out my ponytail and shook my head upside down.   Not quite Farrah-esque, but good enough for the preview.  Finally, the romper…uhhh, Charlie we have a problem.   While the top half was cute, what’s not to love about a ruffled halter with a plunging neckline?  The bottom half looked like one of those fluffy tennis skirts that Monica Seles used to wear pre court-side assault.  I think it was even made out of the same material, sort of a silky/nylon hybrid.   The top to bottom connector is also made of some type of clingy gathered ruching which made me look like I ate Monica Seles.   Overall, not quite the look I was hoping for.   

Rating: 1 carat.  Time to let the past go.
