Back in the day, I had a cute little terry cloth romper like the one Jessica Simpson is wearing here on TRL:

Mine was blue, and I wore it every summer when my best friend Cheri and I went to her parents' time share in Laguna. Usually I wore it over my bathing suit, which was a neon pink and black striped one piece, accessorized by giant pink buttons. I did not wear it with giant wedges, but rather with flip flops, because it's hard to run through sand in wedges. It was 1982, and I was seven years old.
I hope the reappearance of the romper means that other items I rocked back in second grade are going to come back, like Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls or suspenders modeled on those Mork from Ork wore on Mork and Mindy. Because if nothing else, it'll give us tons of material here at GFY.
