Overall Assessment

IMG_5224



So, I knew overalls were going to be a hard beast to tame. They're generally made for toddlers and farmers, of which I am neither, though I have been known to act like both at times. But, Urban Outfitters was having this SUPERMEGASALE the other day, and while browsing through the site, I came across this pair of corduroy overall shorts for a very reasonable price. My excitement over the combination of corduroy and overalls outweighed the rational part of my brain, which is already weak anyway, and I raced toward my debit card to claim them as my own. This outfit went through, oh I don't know, fifty stages before these pictures were taken. I switched tights, cardigans, undershirts, and shoes, and eventually settled happily upon this combination of yummy fashion ingredients. Did I feel a bit like these guys from the Ocean Spray cranberry commercials? Of course. Was that a problem? Of course not, because I love cranberry juice and would actually LOVE to work in a cranberry bog because they fascinate the hell out of me and they're wonderful to look at.

    I can't even believe I'm saying this. But, those overalls are so freaking cute. I have never wanted overalls before in my life. It's a strange feeling, but I'm okay with it. I can't wait to see you remix this again.

    Aw, I really love these on you. I on the other hand, could never in a million years pull them off. You look dear and you really managed to pull together the perfect pieces to complete them....the color is lovely and I agree, working in a cranberry bog would be extremely fascinating and quite fun. Let's quit our day jobs...haha. Have a lovely weekend. xx Marisa

    Wowwww. This is so cute and such a chic way to wear overalls! I wish I had known how to wear them like this back in the day when I was obsessed with them! I love the camel color and how you layered a lace top underneath and then wore bright blue tights :)

    i think this looks adorable - the lace blouse underneath makes them much more feminine and the color is definitely unique.
