The Everywhere Romper: She Will Show You Better Than Tell You (Thank you Jess!)

When I tell you the Everywhere Romper lives up to its name, I mean it—just ask Jessica Moye Tallman. She’s a personal friend, a brilliant writer, and one of the funniest people I know. After an impromptu trip to Aruba, I accidentally left the romper at her place in Brooklyn. Let’s just say…I didn’t see it again for a while. She wore it so well, I couldn’t even be mad. (She eventually purchased two rompers 😂.)

Jessica has a gift for storytelling and a knack for finding herself in rooms full of very important people (she’s famous or something—don’t let her modesty fool you). And no matter where she goes, people stop her to ask about that romper.

I asked her to write about it, and she delivered the way only Jessica can. So sit back and enjoy her take on the romper that’s been coast to coast, across time zones, and probably already in someone’s group chat.

On a birthday flight to Aruba. To a fashion show in Brooklyn. To dinner in Buckhead with my grandmother. To Radio City Music Hall for Michelle Buteau’s “Full Heart, Tight Jeans” Netflix special taping. Everywhere I go wearing the Everywhere Romper, I have to be ready to talk. Because everywhere I go wearing the Everywhere Romper, people stop me. And I get it. The Everywhere Romper is a universally flattering piece that wears itself and pairs itself. An instant wardrobe staple, simultaneously classic and fresh. When Terrell Dominick described this piece as “...literally my favorite…,” I trusted her. And I was right to. The romper has been good to me (correction: great to me), and I happily return the favor. How? By giving the people what they want…the link. When stopped, I’m ready with the intel. Never have I ever seen people more instantly relieved than when I say, brightly and quickly, “I’ll text you the link. What’s your cell?” Every text is the same. Copy, paste. “The romper! Everywhere Romper by Terrell Dominick”  I have texted the link to…

• a Hollywood costume designer who approached me at an after party 

• the guidance counselor at my sons’ elementary school drop-off 

• someone with a 218 area code (the northern part of Minnesota!) and someone with an 832 area code (Houston, Texas, baby)

• a Black grandmother named Ms. Ellington who stopped me on the sidewalk in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. She told me “my friends are going to want this, too.”

• a coworker who ordered it immediately for a summer wedding

• …and on and on

It’s been a pleasure to be an unofficial brand ambassador for the Everywhere Romper, and I stand by Terrell Dominick’s “7 Reasons to Make a Romper Your Summer Wardrobe Staple (And 1 Thing That Work On Our Nerves lol)” I would only emphasize Terrell’s position that the Everywhere Romper is a year-round staple unmatched in comfort, effortlessness, and versatility. Without a doubt. Speaking of doubts, while you may have recently heard the claim “We will show you better than tell you” and have been suspicious (valid), in the case of the Everywhere Romper, no suspicion needed. She will show you better than tell you. Blessings to all.
