So I brought the $35 overalls home. Mike took one look and was all, “Baby, those are HOT! Keep those!”
(Notice he didn’t have the same reaction to the $300 turtleneck. Go figure.)
In any case, I think overalls look best with something a little polished or a little…fashion-y, for lack of a better word. The kimono was surprisingly perfect. (And heels, of course.)
Pax has been such a crack-up lately. The other day I heard his little running footsteps coming down the hall. He busts into my office, completely naked.
“MOM! You wike me wike dis? All Nay-Nakes?”
I sure do, Baby.
“O-TAY!”
And off he goes. I love how their self-worth seems boundless at 3. How he is so proud of his round belly and chubby little arms and legs which pump furiously as he runs ‘nay-nakes’ through the house. I mean.
wearing:
tank: J.Crew silk cami (I wash mine and hang to dry), $59
kimono: O’Neill Candice Top (on sale for $39)
overalls: Destroyed Slim Overalls (sold out – from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, ends 8/4)….or try these button-front overalls by the same brand. It looks like the same fit, just with wash and detail variations. Only $39.
shoes: old Betsy Johnson….love Aldo’s hot pink-and-wood wedges (on sale for $60)
So tell me: Overalls + kimonos….you wike me wike dis?
xo,
S
You look FABULOUS!!! Oh my word mama!!! It reminds me of something that Carrie Bradshaw would wear- casual completely glammed up in an unexpected way. LOVE it!!!!
And, love Pax’s stories. You are right- at that age they are filled with such unbridled enthusiasm for life in general, and such huge pride in who they are. Always makes my heart sing…
Awwww….thanks, Babe! So much.
Every time I’ve seen a pair of overalls, 90s me has mentally paired them with a baby T and Birks. This look blows that visual right out of the water. I think it’s more “wub” than wike….
OMG Maggie, this comment cracked me RIGHT UP! I wub it.
You just inspired me to take mine to NYC for my first hubs weekend! Yay!
If I weren’t 8 months pregnant I would go out and buy overalls right now. I wish I could tell what size I’ll be in a couple of months!
I just threw a pair of topshop maternity overalls in the maternity shop…..wait, you’re 8 months? Um, maybe not then. 🙂
Love the overalls on you. I used to have a major love affair with overalls. (Yes it was in the 90s). Maybe I’ll try some next summer after the baby weight is gone.
The pink Aldo wedges remind me of the Salt sandals. Maybe that’s why you like them? 😉
Yeah, probably. 🙂 And I also loved my overalls in the 90’s…I actually still have mine. But the new ones are much more flattering.
Love this look. 100%. From postpartum and nursing (my kimono is a great cover up for public feeding), to chasing toddlers at the park, to a date night- this look is fab. You rock it, mama!
Ooooo….that’s a great point! Thanks!
Uhhh you look AMAZING! I’m obsessed with kimonos and I love that you paired it with overalls! This outfit is adorable. I totally wike it.
I remember wearing overalls in junior high and being so grateful for them because they hid my butt crack. I obviously really needed a belt…
LOL – thanks, Tara. xo
I hope this isn’t inappropriate BUT in picture #2- you are looking super voluptuous, momma. Nice cleavage.
I’ll never tire of hearing about my rack. LOL
Are you actually wearing the large size in these overalls? Want to order the others…..
I’m wearing an XS….but am looking for more like this (and may have found some at Target), so stay tuned. 🙂
I’m wearing my TopShop overalls today and my 18 weeks pregnant belly is really pushing it- I have the top side buttons undone. I wear mine at least once a week- what do you think maternity overalls, good investment?
How funny – I just added topshop maternity overalls to the shop! Ummmm….18 weeks…at this point it’s a personal style question. If you find yourself wanting to wear your overalls a couple of times a week, then maternity overalls might be worth it.
I wuv you WIKE dat! Have fun on vaca!
Can’t wait for more outfits…you have a gift for fashion!
Thanks, Babe!!
Oooookay! I’m finally on board with the return of overalls, due completely and totally to your styling. Love ’em with the kimono, silk cami, and hot shoes.
Tricia – Yay! Thanks for the love!
I was so anti overalls for awhile. Over my dead body I said. They are only for children under 12 I said. But the cute styles I’ve seen this year were winning me over and you have officially worn down my resolve. Found a similar pair at Old Navy and they are inbound in 2 sizes. And 30% off until tomorrow, bringing them to less than $30!
Help! Love your blog. Ready to run out and buy a pair of overalls but don’t know how to size them. Should I go with more form fitting look or instead go baggy? I’m almost 40! Abercrombie has some nice ones on sale at the moment.
love the heels!
What size is cream silk cami from jcrew?
