Rompers!

So today we'll talk briefly about rompers.

I recently bought the romper above. Because a) I loved the print (the picture doesn't do it justice; it's covered in stars and planets and galaxies and constellations), b) I love Anna Sui, and c) it popped back up in my size (on sale!) mere days after I became infatuated with it, and I took this as a sign. Rompers have been kind of a contentious topic in the fashion world recently, what with most bloggers decrying them as infantile and unflattering, while designers send more and more down the runway. And they seem to sell pretty briskly, too. What's the deal?

Frankly I don't think they're all that infantilizing. It depends on the cut and style, of course. But in general I think they're pretty cute:


Adorable, no? Then again, I also love socks with heels. Hmm. This may also be a boy-pretty vs. girl-pretty issue, but I couldn't care less about boy-pretty anyway.

Also, they're light years better than jumpsuits. Just sayin'.

(Yeah, that's the end of this post. Not too insightful. I'm tired.)
