Styling Overalls






- outfit details -

scarf || Ross

booties || Ross

I probably haven't worn overalls since my elementary days (which would make sense as I grew up in the 90s!) and have truly enjoyed their recent comeback! Styling overalls can be a lot of fun because there's a lot of fresh inspiration floating around as you'll see on this special Pinterest board I've created in light of this post. Layering is a styling technique that can be applied just as easily to styling overalls as it can with any other outfit. Overalls by their very nature are a very casual piece of clothing but adding a blazer and a pair of heeled booties automatically raises the sophistication! Adding other accessories like scarves, headbands, clutches, etc. is another creative way to "dress up" this casual clothing piece (you might recognize that head scarf from this recent post - I love how versatile it is!).

If you haven't given overalls a chance this season, I encourage you to try! They're really comfy and can be used to create many more outfits than you might think!

If you have other ideas on how you've styled overalls, I would love to hear them! Or if you have questions on how to style overalls for YOU, I'd be happy to offer any help I can! Thanks for stopping by!

Denim Shirt-Dress

 - outfit details -
dress || Target (similar)
wedges || Marshalls (old)
bag || Francesca's
hat || Target
lip color || Cover Girl Lip Perfection - "Hot - 305"
 

Even though these photos were taken back at the beginning of the summer, this an outfit that can easily transition to fall by switching the shoes (I'd go with either a pair of heeled ankle boots or closed-toe flats) and throwing on a scarf &/or light sweater! Also, a red lip is another great addition to your fall outfits, as it provides a great pop of color against fall hats and scarves. 

Also, a shout-out to my handsome husband below! :) He's truly my best friend for life. Thanks for stopping by!

Sporty Chic

- outfit details -
dress || Lucca ($15 clearance!)
heels || DSW
bag || Target
sunnies || Target
cuff || Kohls
 

This fun, sporty number was hiding in one of the clearance racks at Lucca recently, and I was thrilled to see it was only $15! I was a sports girl all through junior high and high school, so I definitely gravitate to athletic-inspired clothing from time to time. This was also my first attempt - and I do mean attempt lol - at a fishtail braid. Definitely not perfect, but I guess that's kind of the point with braids these days! If you have any "exposed shoulder" tops or dresses, I recommend experimenting with any type of side-braid hairstyle - it'll complement your overall look, especially if you're wanting a relaxed, romantic or whimsical look.

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day! :)
