THEY CALL ME... MEME!

Remember these?

So when I was a little girl, back on West 67th street, we used to play in "rompers".  Well, my mom called them that, not sure if that's an official name.  They were one piece, elastic at the waist, and you tied them at the shoulders.  This look was quite fashionable, and if you look closely, you will see that it could also be worn with a nice white undershirt!!  Seriously...


Yes... here I am in all my glory.  The year was 1961 and the backyard was the place to be... bricks? and all.

Wow ... a few years later and we are still looking sharp in our "rompers"... matching ones... could this get any worse?   That is my sister, Frankie on the left, and yes, me on the right!  I have absolutely no idea who that is in the middle!  Will you look at the glasses... what was my mother thinking?  At least we don't have on undershirts!  So, I am shopping recently at Target, and I come across this little item.  I can't resist and I buy it for Molly.
                  She wears it well, don't you think??  
What do you remember wearing that has come back to haunt you?

Thank you for passing thru to my lil' place =)

I just wanted to say that I love rompers! I think little girls look so adorable in them (including you); and 2 year old lives in them. I'm so glad they're back!

I dont remember what was 'hot' back when I was a baby, but I think leg warmers were the thing back in the early 80s. Well, my three kids, including my 6 month old boy wears his leg warmers 'baby legs' for a cool night, or to just hang out on the floor. I love them!!

I sure do remember them. My mom called them rompers too. I'm pretty sure I lived in them in the summer. Thanks for the blast from the past.
