The Teal Blue Mini Romper - jessjamesjake on Etsy

Sorry if this entry comes out weird-looking, I'm on a strange unfamiliar laptop and the images are pasting wonky! Anyway. One of the neatest things about rompers is that sometimes, they look exactly, unimpeachably like dresses....except if you do a pratfall, or sprawl out on the grass, then SURPRISE there's a secret pair of shorts underneath and you don't gotta flash nobody! Keepin it classy so you don't have to. Here is one such specimen, a hot teal romper masquerading as a scooter dress. Like a secret agent superspy.

And now here we are, at the end of Romper Week. Seems like we've only just begun! It's funny... not long ago I turned up my nose at rompers, scoffed at the very idea that they could be fashionable. How times have changed. This may be the end of their week, but this is not the last romper you'll see on this blog. Their noble legacy lives on.

Just got back from a concert of Emma Hunton at Joe's Pub, and she did a cover of this song as her encore! I got really excited cos it'd been years since I'd last listened to it...




Melanie Safka - Brand New Key

(Lyrics)

Silly homemade video by some random kids, but I think it kinda works, haha. Melanie's a singa from the sixties and seventies (she performed at Woodstock!), so maybe she would have liked the look of that mod romper up above...

PS: I'd forgotten her last name so I googled the title of the song, and as a result I found a cool little bio page all about Ms. Safka and her music, and the song "Brand New Key" in particular! Here it is click click
