OUTFIT OF THE WEEK: OVERALLS AND A CROP

So, maybe this outfit isn’t really “motherly,” but most of what I wear would not be a Talbots or Ann Taylor staple.   This season, both spring and summer have given new life to an old look that impressed farmers back in the 1900s …. the overall.

This warm air cutie couple, the overall and crop was an overnight dream by a Manhattan Hollister employee, and when they showed up for work in the morning, they slapped it on, buckled, and it worked!

The overalls, are basic yet sexy, and even with a plain tee underneath can be toned down to wear to your next hoe-down.   They are supposed to be a little loose, so buy them a size up, since there’s a little, but not a lot of stretch to them.

The crop is a light chambray stripe, which can be worn on the shoulder or off, the way it is here.    It comes in a bunch of other colors and patterns including a really cute red bandana,  which looks really awesome when you’re mucking the barn.

I think I would pair this with a little sandal…do not do a tall gladiator…I just think it would look silly.   I’m not a sneaker type at all, but with this playful pair, I think something like this from my fave shoe showman, Steve Madden could work

or of course, the classic which the teen and tween set love to sport,
