Changing Things Up A Bit!

Hello All,

     They're back!  Over the past few years we have seen the return of some very groovy fashion trends of the '70's and '80's come back to life.  First up -  the stirrup maternity leggings (this time around being worn by the skinny minis), then we move on to the flowing maternity-like tops (again, adopted by the skinny minis) and lastly, believe it or not - OVERALLS!  At first I thought the new trend was the start of transforming everything maternity and making it be acceptable for women of all ages and sizes to wear, but when the doily socks and overalls started to grace the pages of Vogue and Elle I knew I was wrong.  Just when you thought every trend that could be resurrected had been resurrected, the double strapped denim painter pantsuit comes back to haunt us, or in my opinion to smother us with comfy love!

     Overalls, are making some kind of comeback this year, folks.  I mean we aren't just seeing your regular denim Joe's here.  They're landing in silk ditsey's, sleek leathers, acid wash shorts and even suede, yes, I said suede.  And don't think that plain white tee's are the go to companion of these age old agricultural uniforms.  You know that saying, anything goes?  If you're feeling a little daring, on the trim side and ready for the warm weather, try them with just a bandeau (avoiding all caloric intake for the day).  If it's cooler and you are going for a more formal look, throw on a nice button up with a blazer on top.  Or if you are trying to channel your inner yet, fashionable artiste, then throw on a great old, classic graphic tee and let the one strap slip slightly off your shoulder. That has to be my favorite look... super cool!
     There you have it.  Overalls are, well, cool.  They get the two thumbs up.  I bet if your parents are a product of the 70's or 80's and they were remotely cool, you can go into their closet and find your mom's old, tattered Levi overalls or your father's for that matter!  Try it out.  They are nothing if not super comfy!  Isn't it true... everything old is new again? Scary how true this is! And simply amazing how talented designers and stylists continue to reinvent and invigorate these trends time and time again.

Overall-ie fabulous!
