I remember when rompers first made their comeback. It was the summer of 2009, I was visiting L.A. for a month to see if I could actually live in this crazy city, and the heatwave was so intense that the Pacific Ocean was warm. Yes, the kind of warm that allows you to wade in the waves sans wetsuit or major goosebumps. It was glorious… and I needed some barely-there clothes to withstand the temps. Hence, my first romper. Well, “onesie” as I called it back then. I can’t call it a onesie anymore. It sounds too much like I’m talking about those white one-pieces that babies wear for the sole purpose of puking on.

Anyway, I’ve owned many rompers since that fateful summer, and aside from the fact that you have to basically get fully undressed to pee, I love them. Slip one on and you instantly look totally put together. Add a cute sunhat and a gypsy-inspired knit duster, and you’re ready to make an appearance almost anywhere in L.A.
