When the usual shorts-and-tee combo seems too casual but a dress feels too, well, dress-y? I rock a romper. This utilitarian-chic style from Ever is so good with gladiators, and I just wore this neo-preppy Marc one for Mother’s Day brunch. Not just for day mind you, evening-worthy rompers from VPL and Loeffler Randall are a sexy, modern choice for a night out. And when I’m feeling nostalgic? I reach for this strapless number from T-Bags. Reminiscent of something my achingly glamorous aunt would’ve worn, circa 1979, this style brings me back to a simpler time, when my mom slathered on baby oil before baking herself in the backyard and saccharine was considered a health food. (Can of Tab and Kool & the Gang 8-Track optional.)
