Friends, what I love about rompers is part of my fashion paradox: I love wearing vintage styles, but I also like looking like I'm from the future. Rompers totally fit that paradox, as they are reminiscent of something (frolicking on the beach in the 1950's with your espadrilles?) and simultaneously seem to be from some futuristic space academy.
