Romper Boom

I admit that when I saw rompers in stores and on celebrities last year, I was not a fan. I've always associated them with children's wear. And according to the Wikipedia definition of "romper," I wasn't completely off base.

A romper suit is a one-piece garment worn by children and sometimes women.

Also:

Somewhat similar to a coverall, it is loose fitting and usually has shorter legs that may be gathered at the end. Puffed pants are particularly associated with ropers. Rompers usually are meant as a combination of shorts and a shirt...

The Wikipedia entry also supports my claim that rompers made a comeback of sorts last year:

Marc Jacobs, Max Azria, and Mara Hoffman were among the numerous designers to showcase versions of the romper in their Spring 2009 collections.

But I digress... As I said earlier, I was not a romper fan. Then I came across this one on The Limited's website:

The solid ebony shade and bow on the right shoulder add a bit of sophistication that many rompers, like the one Blake Lively is wearing above, lack. There's no question that this style belongs on an adult.

Now it's your turn. Rompers− yay or nay?
