Overalls...Seriously

 Stripe shirt: H&M, Overalls: Thrifted, Heels: Loft (old), Accessories: Karen Walker sunglasses, Forever 21 hat, necklace via Gilt (old), Alexis Bittar, Honestly WTF x Baublebar, Alisa Michelle and vintage bracelets, Casio watch, Nike FuelBand, Loeffler Randall Rider bag

Clearly, I'm channeling the '90s more than I realize (as proven here and here). I've been back and forth with the comeback of overalls. I have vivid memories of wearing overalls in school, specifically a bit baggier than normal (I was more of a tomboy with my apparel) and even with one of the straps hanging off in that ever so cool way. Yikes.

Now, overalls appear a bit more chic than dorky. Of course, the key is pairing modern accessories to the look but I truly think it can work. I'm not saying that a few months from now I might look at this and shudder at the thought that I dared to wear overalls again in the 21st century but I've also been known to state, "never say never."

  23. Your overalls are super chic! Not brave enough to rock dungarees just yet but perhaps I'll get there - if they look as good as yours does I just might :]
