All Sass And No Class

Oh, hey! What's shakin'? :D Check this out, brah. I'm stoked to show off my new vintage shortalls! I couldn't believe my eyes when I thrifted them. It was love at first sight. The longer shorts, big chest pocket and odd straps were a dead giveaway, but I looked up the label on my phone just to be sure.

My quick internet search revealed that this little number is likely from the early 90s. It actually has a kind of nostalgic look and feel to it. It's my first pair of shortalls and so obviously it is my favorite. :D

I've never worn overalls or shortalls before until now. I know! I'm weird. You wouldn't believe the number of things I haven't consumed, worn or taken part in that most "normal" people have already experienced. Hell, I don't think I had root beer until a few years ago. I'm just a sweet, sweet anomaly. :P

So, I was trying to figure out just how the heck to wear these without looking like some boring country bumpkin. Haha. I opted for a suit jacket that I've had for almost 10 years.
As you can see, the jacket looks like new for being a decade old. Anyway, I don't think you're supposed to wear suit jackets with overalls. Haha. So, of course I just had to do it. I'm sure I'm upsetting a ton of fashion gurus, right now.

My advice to the gurus: Take some Robitussin and sleep it off. You'll get over it. Hehe. :D

I added a super cute bicycle print t-shirt and some dried flowers I picked up from the farmer's market then finished the look with my favorite boots from UrbanOG.
In so doing, I think I created something comfortable, fun and interesting (and maybe even a little bit perplexing haha). Mission accomplished!

Shortalls? Aw man, you have slain me again. I love it. All of it. I think the boots are what do it for me --- they remove any possibility of being a country bumpkin. Instead you look like fierce ass-stomping girl with a flair for fashion.

OMG the bicycle shirt is a perfect pairing!

I'd just like to say now that when I was in 9th grade I had dark red corduroy overalls that I wore all the time with a stripey turtleneck. Oh yeah.

And Root Beer?! Seriously it's AMAZING. Here in NZ they don't have it (they have ginger beer instead which is obviously completely different. If you want root beer, you have to buy it in the "international food" aisle for like $2/can). I introduced it to my bf - mostly in the form of root beer floats - and have officially converted him to the deliciousness that is root beer. :D
