TGIF!
Just dropping in to end the week with a little fashion advice!
Having worked in the fashion industry for years, I’ve seen fashion trends come and go and then come again. One of the fashion statements that has come back into the fold for spring is DENIM OVERALLS. Just the other day I was at the mall and within 20 minutes I spotted three young women wearing overalls. What caught my attention most was not the fact that seeing overalls took me back to my high school days but that there is obviously a right and wrong way to wear this look. Two of the three women I saw got it right and looked super chic, comfortable and fashion forward, the third woman got it wrong and looked like she just stepped off the farm and came to the big city for the day.
With that said, I know many of you will be sporting this look for spring so I thought I’d give you my take on the RIGHT and WRONG ways to look stylish is denim overalls.
oh so WRONG way…
Overalls that are too oversized and slouchy just look dumpy. She looks like she has on her dad’s overalls and is not happy about it!
Again, too slouchy and the length is way to long.
Never ever wear overalls with just one strap fastened. The last time I saw someone with this look I was in the back woods of Oklahoma, his name was Bubba and he was in the process of skinning a raccoon so it could be BBQ’d (no lie)!
This look is only for females ages 8 or younger. Stay away from patterns and go with solid denim only!
the RIGHT way…
Slim fit overalls with a cuffed leg look super chic. Pair your overalls with a simple tee and wedge sandals or flats for spring.
Overalls are the one place where I think the faded look works and pairing them with a soft blouse will keep the look feminine without being too cutesy!
I love the look of striped tee with overalls. Black and white stripes are always classic and will allow you to accessorize with punch of color. {A little more conservative shoe would be my suggestion}
A win, win look is to pair your overalls with a heel. Heels add style and a touch of glam. And again, cuffed bottoms are the way to go.
And for the men that read my blog, the fashion advice I have for you is…..NEVER, EVER WEAR OVERALLS!

Need I say more!
Have a great weekend and stay fashionable!
Personally, I love my overalls to be baggy and too big. In fact, the hems are shredded from me walking on them. Fit some reason my boyfriend love it when I wear them when they’re so loose on me (he’s the same with my flare jeans, they also cover my feet and drag behind me)
