SPRING DENIM OVERALL DRESS
Spring outfit alert! I'm loving this-- such a cute option for daytime or a casual date night! Speaking of dates, we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday Monday night! I shared a throwback picture of us on IG (@TheKristenDiary) in case you missed it. He didn't want to do anything crazy so we just picked up Japanese and spent time together. I love sesame/teriyaki chicken with sweet carrots!! Do you usually dress up for date nights? We go out a lot but always keep things pretty casual! 😜
Okay so this denim dress-- it's like a cute, updated version of overalls! It brings a little more to the party than your regular jeans or shorts and in typical me style, has some distressed edges. What are your thoughts on overalls? I like both a dress or shorts style but I'm not sure that I could do the regular pant-length. You also have to find the right look + fit. I've tried some of the shorts ones before and have never found any I love. I like the dress style because you don't have to worry as much about how the shorts fit your body (things can get a little weird in the crotch area depending on if you have a short/long torso!).
My dress is actually an older style from Free People but they have this new version which looks almost identical. I also found it in black denim here. The blue is also the perfect shade-- I've been loving Free People denim lately! I also really like that in the new version there is a pocket on the front-- I wish mine had one!
The great thing about overalls is you can wear all sorts of different tops underneath. The one things I've figured out is that it's better to go for a more fitted top that isn't too bulky/frumpy. Because of that, I went for a bodysuit to keep things smooth underneath. I will link a few of my favorite options here, here and here.
Since we always love casual, I opted for white chucks! I love the bright, clean pop that they add to the look for spring. It almost gives the whole look a girly, youthful vibe which I think is fun for this time of the year. I also think it would look so cute with a pair of Golden Gooses or a short sleeve black tee underneath! My sunnies are from Gucci--- here is a current/similar style.
What are your thoughts on overalls? Let me know below!
I love sharing my style with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)
