Would You Steal Your Baby's Style?
There are a zillion fashion trends I can’t even begin to wrap my head around, but the “adult romper” is the most incomprehensible one yet. We all have our weaknesses for using little kid-stuff (I have more than my fair share of Hello Kitty pens and Winnie the Pooh mugs), but no part of me yearns to sport an outfit best accessorized with a pacifier and bonnet. Sure, it looks comfortable, but so is a jersey dress or a regular tank top and shorts. The write-up on Shopbop calls this romper “retro-cool” but babyhood is a little too retro for me. What do you think?
I think any fashion you wore as a child should be banned as an adult! That is too much!

Yeah I had an outfit like this (actually several) when I was about 4 or 5. I go by the adage that if you wore it the first time around, skip it the 2nd.

I don't so much care that it looks like something I wore when I was three, but I DO care that rompers are just plain god awful. I have similar feelings toward "skinny"(IE: horrible, tapered, unflattering on 99.99999999% of the population) jeans.
Some things just shouldn't come back.

I wore something just like that. When I was 8.
