I honestly never thought the day would come when a ROMPER would make an appearance on my blog. But … here we are. I tried this on at the thrift store as a lark, but the joke was on me because it was really, really comfy. I can’t resist clothes that can be worn in public but feel like pyjamas. This romper was also kinda cute, even though it’s undoubtedly meant for someone a good deal younger. (It’s actually a “large”, so I’m almost positive that it’s from the junior department.) Still, for $5, I figured that the risk of looking like mutton dressed as lamb was worth taking. Did I mention how comfy this romper is?
In the interest of looking somewhat more age-appropriate, I added a casual blazer but this kinda defeated the purpose of the romper, which is to be the best thing to wear on a really hot summer day. So I wore the blazer in the morning, then promptly ditched it as the temperatures soared. I felt gloriously, literally, cool the whole afternoon … even if I didn’t look it, sartorially speaking.
I think it’s so cute! I did a similar thing recently – I tried on a pair of demin overall shorts for laughs, but they looked surprisingly cute and were so comfy. I wear them at least once a week with a crop top right now. Sometimes comfort wins in the dead of summer :).
Comfort wins 100% of the time, but especially in the summer. I’ve been seeing denim overalls all over the place (punny!) and I think they look adorable.
Love the romper. So cute. Cheers, Michele
I think it looks cute! It’s a simple enough design that it doesn’t look too young. And you have nice legs and so can pull it off. 🙂
I have been quite disdainful of rompers in be past but for a lark tried on a $12 jersey number in gap and ended up buying it in 2 colours!
Like you, my aim in summer dressing is publicly acceptable pj’s.
