wearing overalls past the age of ten

 

overalls are back!  last time i owned a pair i was sixteen.  i cut them in half and sloppily sewed embroidered material up the entire length of both legs.  and then i wore them to phish shows.  all of this is to say that i was going through an identity crisis then, and am certainly open to the idea that i might be going through one now.  in spite of this i can’t deny it, i love these overalls.  they make me feel young and cheeky.  BUT you won’t find me DIY’ing them!  i learned my lesson the embarrassing way.

side note:  i googled “overalls phish shows”.  i don’t really know why i thought that would bring to to a picture of myself at age 16 in some horribly crafted overalls, but i kind of did.  it goes without saying, no dice.  but i did come across this DIY overall, and if i’m being honest it does make me feel quite a bit better about myself.  so what do you think?  overalls: yay or nay?  xx- sarah {more after the jump}

    I love overalls! Plain and simple ones, not too trendy, not too grungey. I bought a pair almost two years ago, claiming they were coming back (at which my fiance scoffed), and I am so glad they have finally come back. Yours are super cute!

    I love the skinny fit of these overalls! I desperately wish I had kept all my overalls from back in the day so I wouldn't be buying any new pairs!

    These are really cute. I has some terrible DIY outfits when I was 16…I once went to a show wearing a vest covered in pin badges with slogans on…not good! xxx

    I love overalls (especially in black or grey), but I can never seem to find any that aren't dumpy. They're all so awkwardly shaped!

    We may be long lost soul mates. I was just gushing over overalls and totally had the patchwork giant pants AND overall dress with patchwork… But i mean, what else does one wear to spin in while dancing to Phish?

    Thanks Sarah! Do you remember what they were called? (I'm going to do an ebay search) I want to call it a friendship bracelet, but that doesn't seem quite right. Thanks again! :)

    hi again kristen! so sorry but i have no idea what they were specifically called. but they are kind of friendship bracelets and i think anyone trying to sell them would call them that! good luck!
