The Skinny Overall

I wore these overalls during Thanksgiving weekend and got a kick out of the fact that my grandpa was such a fan. He usually always makes some comment about what I’m wearing–typically teasing me about all of my distressed denim–but these overalls in particular he loved. He said he hadn’t seen this style since 1940–when he was wearing them, ha!

This slimmer style overall is quite flattering–more so than any pair I own. With my other pairs I always feel like I need to wear a heel or something to give me height, but I’ve been wearing these just with flat boots. I was also pleasantly surprised that as a shortie the length fit me perfectly.

I’ve been pairing them with this tissue thin turtleneck on repeat (as you can see!). Adding this uber cool faux fur (also from Madewell) for warmth.

I admittedly, sort of forgot about Madewell when we left New York. I would always pop into the Soho location when shopping around. But! we recently got one here in Sacramento and I’ve been reminded of how great and cool their basics are. Also, good news for those who live in Walnut Creek as they just opened a brand new location at the Broadway Plaza. A must to check out for holiday gifts!
