The Power of One (Romper): Why This Outfit Made Me Feel Most Me
I’m not one for “favourite” labels—favourite food, favourite colour, favourite anything, really. I’m a mood person. I feel into things. Some days I’m about soft neutrals, other days I want loud prints and louder opinions. But if there’s one outfit that never fails to bring me back to me, it’s my tweed rompers from Good Addition.
Actually, I have four of them. And if I’m being honest, I wish I had five.
Why This Romper Hits Different
This isn’t just any playsuit. It’s got this magical combination of structure and softness, like it knows exactly what my body wants to feel like without trying too hard.
The built-in bra gives me shape—but not that fake, overly sculpted kind. It’s the “yes, I woke up like this” kind of shape. Effortless.
And then there’s the low back. Something about it feels… free. Like I’m giving a little wink without even trying. And the tweed fabric? Chef’s kiss. It adds just the right amount of polish so I can wear it anywhere, from a casual brunch to a night out, or even when I’m travelling—because hello, crease-free.
Seriously, I’ve thrown this romper into suitcases, backpacks, and carry-ons, pulled it out hours later, and it still looks like it’s been freshly steamed by angels.
The Skort Secret (And Why I Love It)
Let me tell you something about the bottom half—this is where it gets genius. It’s a short skort, which means I can hop onto a motorbike, sit cross-legged, dance (badly), and never have to think about flashing the world. It’s giving freedom with a side of legs for days.
I’ve always liked my legs. They’ve carried me through a lot—figuratively and literally—and I love that this outfit lets me show them off without feeling exposed. There’s a fine line between playful and “please stop looking,” and this romper struts right down the middle of it.
Why I Got Four (And Still Regret Not Buying the Pink One)
I loved it so much, I bought four variations. Not because I needed them—but because each one feels like a different version of me. And I still mourn the pink checkered one I didn’t get. You know that feeling? When something’s sold out and never coming back, and you realise you should’ve just listened to your gut? Yeah. That one stings.
But even without it, these rompers have become my go-to for when I want to feel playful, bold, and unapologetically myself. They’re not just outfits—they’re reminders. That I can be comfortable and confident. Structured and soft. That I don’t need to try so hard to feel put together. Sometimes, the right outfit just knows.
What Our Clothes Know About Us
We don’t talk enough about how our clothes can know us before we do. They hold energy, they shift our posture, our mood, our whole way of moving through the world. And for me, these rompers hold the energy of a woman who’s done trying to impress and is just here to feel good.
So here’s to the outfits that hold us the way we want to be held. The ones that travel with us, dance with us, and remind us who we are.
And if anyone ever finds that pink checkered one… call me.
