Have you ever thought about wearing a floral romper? If so, Audrina Patridge is here to show you how.
Since her infamous CCTV upload of how she was burglarized by the Bling Ring Gang and the unfortunate cutting out of her scenes from ‘Scary Movie 5’, Audrina seems to have been spending her days getting photographed by the paparazzi while bikini-clad on various beach trips with her long-time beau, Corey Bohan.
The reality star has also been attending numerous events, such as the iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party, Miss Hooters International 2013, and, most recently, the world premiere of The Lone Ranger.
Audrina was hounded by the paparazzi on the red carpet, and she tried to humor each one as they took their money shots.

Audrina was wearing a summery floral romper called “Liz” from Yumi Kim, a brand founded in 2004 by designer Kim Phan.
Kim Phan discovered her niche early on by creating outfits for her Barbie dolls using her mother’s old garments. She has been making clothing for women ever since, inspired by vintage prints and silhouettes.
The ‘Liz’ romper is 100% silk and features a gorgeous wrap-front bodice, flared shorts, and buttoned sleeves.

We’re on the fence about rompers. On the one hand, they have massive potential to look cute, but on the other hand, they’re clothing meant for five-year-olds. And there’s nothing pretty about a grownup wearing clothes designed for kids.
But when we saw pictures of Audrina Patridge absolutely rocking one at the world premiere of ‘The Lone Ranger,’ we considered becoming 100% pro-rompers.
Much of that was because of a critical detail on Audrina Patridge’s summery floral romper from Yumi Kim. See if you can spot it in these photos:

Do you see it? If not, here’s a side-by-side comparison with other previously featured celebrities in rompers to further help you out:

Audrina Patridge’s romper has sleeves, which makes it much more appropriate for an adult. Just compare it with Nicky Hilton’s and Alessandra Ambrosio’s—even when styled with an expensive-looking bag and high heels, Nicky Hilton’s romper still looks very kiddie-ish.
Alessandra’s unflattering, loosely fitted, high-cut hips make her romper all the more weird to wear. The sleeves on Audrina Patridge’s romper make all the difference—mainly because they make the item look like two separate pieces, but that’s the whole point.
Audrina’s adult-appropriate romper is the Yumi Kim “Liz.” It comes in plenty of colorful summery prints:
