Denim Fridays: Why I love Overalls (and How to Wear Them)

I love denim overalls, like REALLY love them! I would wear them everyday if I could. Number one reason being they are super stylish but number two reason being that they are incredibly COMFORTABLE (bonus: expanding waist) and number three reason, well they're just really cool in a 70s french girl cool kind of way. And who doesn't want to look like a cool French girl?! 

Not everyone shares this enthusiasm I realise, but honestly you need to give them a try. The key to wearing them, as with most trickier items, is to keep the other pieces classic and simple: White t shirt, white blouse, striped top, turtlenecks.. you get the idea. Shoe wise anything goes from sneakers to an ankle boot.  Think french girl does denim et voila!

Please see some outfit ideas below:
