The Romper!!! Good lord why do I love this thing so? The Two-Birds Romper ($128) by Sine is a rich royal blue in silk/twill. If a romper is wrong I don’t want to be right I’ve decided. I laughed when I spotted this on the rack. Must. Try. On. There are pleats galore on this thing to the point that I wondered just how the bottom would sit. It’s technically shorts on the bottom but it truly sits like a skirt.
I tried on a 6 and it fit very well. Or as well as a romper fits. The top was pretty flattering though it was creating creases between my decolletage. The wide waist band illustrated where a belt could go but was a bit annoying. It didn’t have to be there in my opinion. The pleated bottom created no line whatsoever; it just added mass. Since it resembled a skirt the floatiness was excusable. I kind of liked it. Okay, I really liked it! I was rocking my Warriers with it and I have to say the overall look was awesome. And by that I mean awesomely ridiculous. NYC is glorious in that everyone has their own style…could I cycle this juvenile joy into my wardrobe? Probably not.
I can easily imagine some of my friends pulling this romper off and I wish I could. I can’t see myself paying full price for it but I give kudos to anyone who buys this interesting piece and works it this summer.
