Styling the Simone Overalls
The overalls I finished last week have been working their way into my wardrobe.
I realised I haven’t worn overalls since I was a preschooler – all those years missing out on such a comfortable garment!
I had a fun time trying the overalls on with different things to see what looks best.
(Do you do this? Some fashion designers do. When their range is almost finished, they have a session trying everything on. Clothes sell better as outfits rather than stand-alone items, so they need to see any gaps and look at how the collection sits together.)
I tell you, afterwards the bedroom looked like a clothes bomb had gone off on the bed!
So I tried on lots of things, then pranced around in front of the camera…
While it’s often seen as patriotic depending on your address, red white & blue worn together always looks fresh.
Do you think the hat is too much?
Continuing the red white & blue theme, this is the Cendre top. Any top with big sleeves: tick.
I think it needs a bolder lip.
Grandma-knitted jumper with Scandanavian clasps and beret. I quite like the knitwear-under-overalls look. Also think greys and neutrals work well with red overalls.
I beefed up the lippy.
Cheers!
Looking fabulous ‼️
Thanks Lisa, it was pretty fun!
Funny how tastes are different. The look that I like best is the one you called a failure. I love the bright blouse with the red overalls.
Maybe it looks better in the photo than in real life haha!
