Oh the 90's. Much music. Big Shiny Toons. Columbia House. Over sized Club Monico sweatshirts. Backstreet Boys. And overalls. I had these gray corduroy overalls back in the day (see picture below) and oh boy they were comfy. Now that they are back in style and I am older, I am all over the comfort they provide and the good feels they bring back. When I put these on I feel like a younger, more fun, exciting and free spirited version of myself.
Over the Easter weekend we went to my in-laws, special recap post coming on Monday, and we took all the kids to the park. We played on the play structure, swings, in the sandpit, and of course we shot some hoops. I am not very good but I enjoy playing anyway and being active with my family. These overalls were perfect for moving around and chasing the littles all over the place. I paired them up with my new converse sneakers which I pair with everything, skirts, shorts, rompers, jeans, etc, because they are so versatile and comfortable. Since we had the camera with us, I decided we might as well do pictures right then and there. All natural look, minimal make-up (just foundation), high pony-tail, totally functional, day-to-day, real mom look here today.

| Grade 8 and rocking my overalls. |
So I found the overalls at the Gap and couldn't resist buying them. They were 40% off so it's a super sweet deal at $50. I grabbed a size small and they are perfect, relaxed but not crazy baggy, that look doesn't work on me. I also like that they are cropped making them perfect for spring, summer and into early fall, while not being too long and having to hem them because I am only 5'4.
What 90's fashion or trends would you love to see come back?

My favourite overalls were Esprit short overalls...I should have kept them. These look amazing on you!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes the Esprit store. I forgot all about them. I was going back and forth on the long or short overalls but settled on the long one because I figured I would get more wear out of them before they go back in the fashion vault 😆
DeleteLook at how cute you are!!!! I loved me some overalls back in the day... now, my 40 year old bladder cant wait to get the straps off to pee :) haha
ReplyDeleteLMAO. I totally know what you mean. The pee dance is a daily occurence for me, I find one price bathing suits the worst. 😁 .thanks for atopstopby.
DeleteLove these! I like how they're cropped. I was having kids in the 90's - ha - and I don't think I ever owned a pair of overalls!
ReplyDeleteWhat?!? They didn't have maternity overalls back then? :)
DeleteI never wore overalls, they were a big hit in the 80 s too. BUt they look very very good on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. I cant recall the 80s as much, probably because I had little choice or interest in what I wore. It's funny how things always make their way back around. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteYou are rocking those overall's! So cute on you! I loved my overalls back in the 80's but don't know if I could still pull it off! Your photos are so fun! Love the action shots!

You totally could. I can just see it with your long legs! You would look fantastic in them! Thanks for the kind words.
DeleteWhat a fun outfit! Cool photo shoot too: not easy to look good when moving (I tried pictures on the trampoline once) and you look great in all of them!

Thank you so much. The trick to movement pictures I've learned through this course I am taking is high shutter speed. Trampoline pictures are really hard though, because the movement is so fast and big. :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHaha it's hilarious that you wore the same look back in the 90s. I think it's so fun to see different styles come back in!

I know. As I was writing the post I remembered I had these overalls way back in the day. I can't believe I actually found a picture of them.
DeleteI have so debated grabbing a pair! loved my overalls in the 90's. You look adorable and fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved my overalls in the 90s! These are so cute, love these photos!
