Apple Picking

As you can see, Spring is taking its own sweet time getting here. There are barely any leaves on the trees; it rains pretty much every day; and on this particular day, rays of sunshine were intermittent at best. At least it was 60 degrees. Heh. :D
Ahh, yes. Gotta love seasons. If only the rest of the country could be like California. The weather this week is supposed to be erratic (i.e. 40s some days, 60s on others). It will likely be this way through May, so I fully expect to have people (probably from California or some other part of the country) comment on how "layered up" and "warm" I look for Spring in some of the outfits I wear in the coming weeks. All I can say is: not everywhere is like where you live! ;)

Picture

Now that I've gotten THAT out of the way...Haha. Look at me being all trendy and wearing overalls. o_O My first ever pair! I feel like it should have come with a pitchfork or something. I certainly felt a lot like a country bumpkin boppin' around the farmer's market in this outfit. I felt suuuper comfy, though. Despite how juvenile overalls and shortalls may seem, they really are nice for all-day wear. :D I give them that.
The top I'm wearing underneath is.....wait for it.....a dress! :P I got it from my swap group and I'm so happy to have it. I pined after it for soooo long and watched it bounce around from person to person. Finally, I found someone who had the dress but in a different size (medium instead of small) and when I received the medium, it fit me great. So, I guess it just wasn't meant to be until that moment. I think the size small I had wanted would have been too tight. Even the medium is a bit snug at the shoulders.

Picture

Anyway, I'm sure I will wear the dress in all its beautiful glory one day and take some photos for you guys. :D For this time wearing it, I simply tucked and folded the bottom portion into some seamless mid-thigh tights. I find that it really helps to have a relatively short dress in order to pull of this trick!


Picture

Oh and you probably noticed something sticking out of my vintage overalls at the front pocket. That would just be my cell phone. :D In the other pocket, I had my wallet and trusty chapstickums. ^_^

Picture

I carried my picnic basket like a purse. :D I thought it made a nice accessory given the look and feel I was going for with the outfit. You'll also notice that I'm wearing my awesome ankle booties. I'm not sure why they're classified as boots, though. Maybe it's because they have a heel on them. They just look like fancy sandals to me. Heh. That's what I was looking for when I had bought them. :P

Picture

There you have it! Nothing complicated, this time. This outfit is simple, comfortable and (hopefully) kinda cute, too. ^_^ I hope you had a great weekend and that your week is off to a good start! <3

That top/dress is adorable! All about the fruits now (and peter pan collars, always). Leave it to you to style a dress as a top. Too cute with the picnic basket and the overalls.

I KNEW from the post on your Instagram that this would be a kick ass outfit. I wasn't wrong! This is such a treasure! The sandals, the picnic basket, the super rad overalls are extremely neat pieces and put together form a unique ensemble. Loving the top, that is actually a dress, can't believe how brilliant this is! :D

Bah! I love the way you wear overalls. It's like they were made for you. I feel like I only know how to do cute things with them. You give them an edge that I admire. I'm going to keep at it! :P

Oh, aren't you darling. This is a cute, yet not twee, outfit. In a way it reminds me of Ann of Green Gables.

And totally hearing you on erratic weather. It was in the seventies on Monday, rained all day yesterday and I woke up to snow today.

I love that this outfit brought that story to your mind. I really do! <3 I had a pen pal when I was little (I know..kinda crazy I guess haha) and she used to send me those books whenever she finished reading them.

You just blew my mind. Whenever I style my overalls, I always go for tops and it ends up very boring, because very few of my tops look right. But now that I've seen this outfit, my overall styling knows no bounds! I cannot believe I never thought about wearing a dress under overalls.

Yeah, man! Totally <3 I never saw the point of having two garments with the same print (unless they were meant to go together). So, rather than buy a cute apple print top, I just finagled the dress to suit that purpose. I have so many dresses (yeah, I can hardly believe it myself heh) with awesome prints. As much as I'd like to have tops with the same print, I feel like wearing those dresses as tops creates the same effect, saves money and makes room in my closet for more awesome stuff. :D <3

What a cute outfit for the farmer's market ;) Love how this dress looks under the overalls and those booties are so fun. I'm from SoCal and would trade my 90 degree weather for your 60 degree weather any day haha. It's actually been pretty gloomy this week though so we've been somewhat bundled up here as well.
