The Revamp of Overalls

Hello everyone! To continue, in a sense, with the challenge, I decided against another post with three or four of my school outfits, and decided to be a bit more creative and show you all two outfits that I can guarantee you've never seen before (along with helping you create your own versions of them).

Now whenever I think of the word "overalls" I picture Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton with pitchforks, standing in the picture for their reality show The Simple Life. And believe it or not, that's not really the look that I'm going for when I have brief over-moments (or moments of wanting to wear overalls). In order to try and change the somewhat scaring image of overalls that I have, I had to wear a pair. Or better yet, make Miranda wear a pair (or a dress I should say).
For Miranda's outfit, we used my mom's old floral-patterned overall dress and a neon pink brandeau from American Apparel. To try and up the anti, she wore the dress folded over as a skirt, added a pair of Urban Outfitters socks, and heeled black boots from Topshop. If that doesn't change your view on overalls, then I don't know what will.


I learned a very valuable lesson today: if you wear semi-sheer tights, and you do the splits, they will tear. So, in conclusion: my outfit includes a very very ripped pair of semi sheer black tights.
For my semi grunge/semi alternative girly outfit, I paired the very ripped tights with a blue cutout skirt from Forever 21, an army green crop top from Target, and my favorite platform boots from Topshop. All of these lovely pieces all came together to form an outfit that would fly up every single time a car would drive past me (really recommend wearing shorts under your skirt).

I hope you all find inspiration in these outfits (as well as learn my little lessons) and I hope you all enjoyed this semi continuation of The Challenge!
xoxo, Paloma
