Overalls in the winter time. I did it again. >;] Why? Well, because I can and I really like the comfort of overalls. Yeah. How you like me, now? Hehe. These vintage thick denim overalls provide the perfect defense against cold and wind. Well, from the waist down, anyway. :DDD The roomy legs are ideal for layering. I can wear thick leggings and two pairs of socks and no one would be the wiser, really. ;P

To keep things warm and toasty on top, I wore thermals underneath a plain black sweater and then tacked on a faux leather zipper vest. I love this vest so much. Best thrift find ever! I've had it for ages. The fur hood is detachable, too! I'm fond of putting unconventional garments together and trying to make them work. I haven't seen anyone wearing a hooded zipper vest with overalls, let alone in the winter, so I had to go for it. Hehe. I think I was able to pull it off. ;D I added the double breasted black coat for a clean finish and that was that! I like that, when the coat is buttoned, it looks like I'm wearing loose fitting jeans. I always try to hold something back to keep people guessing about the full outfit.

Yep. I'm pretty sure I scared a *few* people with this one or made them super uncomfortable, at the very least. My partner and I stopped at a coffee shop to get some much needed rocket fuel as it was -20F with the windchill. Yeah, dudes. It was deathly cold. >_< Anyway, this middle aged lady and her husband sat down next to us and she just couldn't stop looking at me. I tried to ignore her. A part of me wanted to laugh, but I was afraid that any sudden noise from me would give her a heart attack. o_O

Ya'll know I'm harmless. ;) Hehe. Anyway, I really enjoyed strutting around town in this outfit. I felt so comfortable and warm, not to mention just a liiiiittle bit avant garde. >;D~ I hope you dig this strange little concoction! Have a fantastic weekend! I've got lots of cool sh*t queued up for February! :P

Oh, hey dudes! What's shakin'? :DDD I had been holed up in the house preparing lessons for this week's classes. I always find it difficult to do anything--I dunno---fun or relaxing, if I have work to do.
My partner knows that I'll work myself to death, so he convinced me to go out for coffee and sweets.


Picture

Free coffee and cakes? Say no more, bro! Hehe. So, I kinda just threw this outfit together. The only thing I had in mind when I scoured my closet was that I wanted to wear my new vintage high waisted jeans. I finally have jet black high waisted jeans! I thrifted them for only $9.00! Yesssssssss. <3

Then, I decided I'd do monochromatic grey, again. So, I grabbed the grey winter hat, textured grey sweater and grey coat. I could have tried wearing grey pants, if I had the right color. The pairs that I had were a bit too dark. I don't care about the colors matching, but too much variation can be distracting.

I classed things up with the vintage wingtip tassel loafers and then added a punch of color with the red socks. I'm wondering if I should have gone with a different color or maybe something with a pattern. I've had the socks sitting in my drawers brand new for ages, though! I felt like it was time to stop being afraid of their bright color and just frickin' wear them. >_< So, yeah. I did it. There. Hehe. *^_^*
I realize that I've been wearing a copious amount of black, lately. I try to wear at least one bright look for every dark one that I succumb to. Either that or I'll try to incorporate some measure of brightness into the dark outfit. Still, I should probably do something super bright, soon. I'll see what I can do. ;D~
