Do You Want Fries With That Shake?

I guess I'm ready to do some farming, today. :P  I missed wearing these vintage denim overalls. They're so comfortable...like wearing pajamas in public. Hehe. The weather was gorgeous, too. So, I thought that would be a good enough excuse to dust off these babies and take them out for some fresh air.


Picture

I think this might be as close to a rustic/girl-next-door look as it will ever get for me. o_O I really like this style, though. Don't get me wrong! I just find it difficult to pull off that type of look. I'm surprised I came this close. :DDD I included some of my favorite colors: mustard, deep orange and olive. This is a rather casual outfit, but I feel like the styling made it look feminine and...dare I say...pretty. Heh. >_<

Picture

One of my favorite bits of the outfit is the deep orange cardigan I wore underneath the overalls. They have huge flaps at both shoulders and, you know me, I'm a sucker for little, weird things like that. The pointelle print and large buttons are really cute, too. To make things a little more interesting and to highlight those awkwardly awesome shoulder flaps hehe, I just pulled them over the straps of the overalls. I think doing so gave the outfit a little more of a retro flavor? I'm not sure. I dig it, though! :D

Picture

So, some of you probably already know this about me, but I'm not much of a meat eater. I'm an inept vegetarian in that I will eat eggs, cheese and fish, but that's it. The number of hamburgers I've eaten in my life can be counted on one hand. Seriously. The last one I had was eons ago, at that. So, let's just say that I wouldn't really wear  socks with a hamburger print on them. Hehe. Of course, my sponsor, Sock It To Me, didn't know that I was a pescatarian and I'm not offended in the least. My only concern was that the socks wouldn't get worn often. I hate receiving something and then hardly wearing it.

It always feels so much like a waste, you know? Fortunately, my partner loved the socks when I initially showed them to him. When I told him about my reservations concerning long-term wear, he asked if he could have them.
Now, he wears the socks like every other week. So, problem solved. Haha. ^_^ <3

Picture

Anyway, you'll notice that, instead of dwelling on the print, I focused on the things I liked: the color and those cute sesame seeds. When I'm just standing, you see a little bit of beige and those white dots. However, when I sit down and cross my legs, you can see that those dots are seeds and that they're part of a burger bun. :P I like the spectacle of that little reveal when I'm wearing printed socks. :D~

Yes, you may dare saying you turned the look into a feminine ensemble, for sure! I love it and would love to be able to wear it! I mean, the cute cardi with the nice collar, yes, but the denim overall is my dream to wear - I love denim overalls, but for me, short and with some extra kilos, I look like a barrel :) So it's lovely seeing it here and the way you style it! The socks are so sweet, hahaha! I am a vegetarian since I am a child (by choice and the only one in my family) and I would have also thought of burger socks", but as you said, your sponsor couldn't know it and it's sad when something is not worn - good that you solved it with your partner! And I have to say, they look great! At first I thought they were dots, then lemons and finally, seeds :) You look gorgeous!!!!!! Another of my favorite outfits of yours!

Gaahh. That's not true, though! You CAN wear overalls. I know you can, girl! Did you see the link I sent you the last time you said this? Haha. Here I'll post again:

She looks better in those overalls than I ever could. That's what proportions can do! :D I feel like I just want to go shopping with you for overalls and try a bunch on, because I swear you can. Don't sell yourself short! <3

Too funny about the hamburger socks. Love the boots!

We are almost twinsies in what we eat. I haven't eaten red meat since I was 13 I think. Just don't like it although I can do extra crispy bacon every once in a while and chicken sometimes if I'm in the right mood. I used to LOVE cheese but found out I'm lactose intolerant. That was a sad day.

Oh, no! Cheese is like my favorite thing in the world. I mean, other than tofu, cheese is the only thing that gives the food I eat that savory quality and makes me feel full. I would miss it so much, if I couldn't have it. Plus, I live in the land of dairy, practically. Hehe. I would have to move somewhere else. >_< <3

I love those socks! The cut of the pants/shoes is the perfect way to subtly show them off:)

I love that those socks get such a reveal, that's so fun! I at first thought they were just polka dots too, and I'd be delighted to see they were burgers haha. I can see why your partner wanted to snap em up. And check you out all adorable in your overalls. I looove overalls and am always looking for fun new ways to style them. The sweater added such a cute touch.

That "check you out" part made me laugh so hard. Haha. I felt like blushing. I even heard you say it, even though I have no idea what you sound like. How's that even possible? o_O O_o Thanks! <3

There's something about the colours of your outfit and those boots that make me excited that Autumn is here (New Zealand). I can't wait for cooler days and cosy knits!

The hamburger socks are so cool! I'm glad someone is getting some use out of them now. I like them with this outfit too though! Your overalls look incredibly comfy and cute. I really like the deep orange sweater paired with them.

You look very nice in this colour mix, love orange tones and even if you've eaten less than 10 burgers in your life socks are really hot

I definitely couldn't pull this off as I'm not even a fan of overalls. However, I like your take on them, great use of colours as well. I love your shoes and it's great that your partner likes those cute socks.

I haven't worn overalls in forever. I actually grew up on a farm and I wore overalls and army surplus combat boots to do shores in. Heee!!
