Can you see that? It's my inner dork about to be completely and unabashedly released. (*Cue Oprah voice*) 

"I'm weeaaring overalllls!"

The funny thing, is that these "shortalls" were actually the overalls that my mom wore throughout the 1990's. So, I mean I guess you could say they're an oldie, but a goodie. One thing I love about overalls, (despite being overall, a very cute look *ba-dum dum!*) is that you literally can wear whatever you want and just throw a pair of overalls on top. While I haven't yet had a chance to find a pair I love, full length pant overalls are a fabulous look. My advice? Pick a slightly boyfriend-esque style to wear over a basic white tee or crop top with tan sandals or heels. 

Happy Friday, bandits!

It's safe to say that we've all planned outfits that revolve around a character or theme at some point in our lives. For example, perhaps your outfit for that art show is reminiscent of the 90's á la Rachel from Friends. Or, maybe you decide to kick it up a notch and channel Audrey Hepburn in a pair of tailored trousers and a turtleneck. Whatever it may be, sometimes it's fun to bring in a bit of an outside influence into your own wardrobe. 

That being said, pairing this starry vintage sheath with boat shoes makes me associate this outfit with the Hamptons. I'm not sure why,(in fact I have never even been there) however, for some reason this outfit feels like the perfect thing to wear for a stroll through the downtown area. Maybe I've just watched one too many episodes of Gossip Girl...

Summer and citrus prints? Oh yes. There's nothing like getting into the summer spirit like dressing like you just robbed a Hawaiian shirt store! To achieve this look, I paired a cropped, ribbed tank with a lemon print skort and turquoise jewelled choker. To top it all off? Black faux leather sandals and my favorite layered H&M rings. 

Personally, I will always opt for shorts over a skirt. While skirts are definitely stunning, I've just come to accept that I'm secretly a 12 year old boy and sitting like a lady and not running around are impossible for me. So, skorts and I are a match made in heaven. Thankfully, the trends have followed accordingly and now skorts come in a plethora of styles and prints (hallelujah!), not just athletic wear.
