oh yes...I live in these things. I don't think I ever stopped wearing them. I have variations from (what could be considered in L.A.) "formal" to, well..."rompers".
The ONLY problem I have is the public restroom issue. You've got to get, like, completely undressed to have a seat.
No, that's not my only problem...I remember reading an article last year(?) after rompers hit the runways Milan/Paris and/or later stateside/NYC. Many a fashion editor was giving them the "thumbs-down"...way down. Then, barely a few issues later, it was all about rompers! The PERFECT outfit!
WTF?
Then some collage of pics of "celebrities"/"celebutantes"/whatever splashed all over wearing these (once) "fashion atrocities" daytime! nighttime! anytime! It's all about how you accessorize! So versatile! So chic!
Uh. DUH.
My "problem" is that young Hollywood has been running the fashion world for too long and dictating to the designers and consumers "what's hot" and "what's not". And coming up with their own lines of clothing, accessories, whatever. The last decade of "fashion" has been a "dump of decades past". Everything is "IN". We've reached an all-time fashion low in terms of creativity. Lindsay Lohan wears a scarf, then "oooh scarves are HOT". HELLO? They haven't gone anywhere! They're a wardrobe staple. But whatever.

Love, love, love them! Used to be a bit dubious of them but I've changed my mind! I've bought a bright red Mango one for £20 - one word: EBAY!
Seriously, it might take a while to find something on there that fits the bill but if you want cheap go there - as they say "one man's trash is another man's treasure"

cuuuuuute!! i always have a hard time with finding ones that fit right (my proportions are whack!). i want to find one like your long one for work, because its trendy but looks comfy too. i did manage to find 2 short ones, but my god they are short (im like 5'10 which is why finding ones that fit are hard, if its long enough to not be higwaters then its to big i the torso, if it fits my torso then chance are the pant leg hangs to high). i got one that zips up the front and has a little faux belt with a silver ring in the center, the front is fitted and rouched and it has a very charlies angels/bond girl look, the other i have has detachable straps, so you can wear it sleaveless like a bustier or with the strapsit has a retro look, with cuffs on the shorts and i wear it with a big stretchy belt (to hide muffin top heehee). i got them both at DOTS i love that store, i get the best work clothes there for cheap. im trying to slim down, maybe if i can lose a few more inches off my hips and thighs i will find a long one that looks right.

They were fantastic when I was a baby, but it is not my style now.

i wore it to work today for the first time and it was sooo comfortable! i jazzed it up with lots of gold jewelry (we all went out after work tonight) and i got lots of compliments. i'm only 5'4" and it was like 4 inches too long, so i had to shorten em. but i've got a but, hips, and thighs FOR SURE and it made me look a lot thinner. they might carry em in tall lengths.
i got it at arden b.
