Overall I’m Doing Fine

When: November 11, 2020 // Weather: chilly but sunny // Real life: working from home

2020: When everything was already weird so I said, “screw it, I’m getting overalls.”

When you think about it, overalls were really just the OG jumpsuit. And you know I love a jumpsuit. Seems like a lot of us during this weird-ass pandemic era are looking for comfort and nostalgia — baking, reading, and doing puzzles on the regular for the first time since who-knows-when. I say let that extend to your style. If you used to love wearing overalls as a kid (or scrunchies or bell bottom jeans or whatever), there’s never been a better time to put them back in the rotation. Embarrassed about other people seeing you in your blast from the past outfit? Good news: you’re not going anywhere anyway.

I’ve been following along with a style challenge this month organized by Dressing Dawn. Why bother? Hell, I don’t know. Because there’s a pandemic and my entertainment options are limited. I spent spring and summer naming all the bunnies in my neighborhood, but now Daisy and Peanut are hibernating and I need something else to do.

One of the challenge prompts was “this is so me.” So I put on some stripes, some (faux) leather, a bright color, and feminine shoes. And it was so so me that I decided to take photos on a real camera and preserve them here for posterity.

If you were going to put on an outfit that was “so you,” what would it include? Try it out tomorrow and see if it improves your mood.
