Style Journal | Basic Warmth

Here's a quick little OOTD for you all! Things have been hectic lately but I managed to snap this quick look of the day over my lunch break with a friend. Compiling together a bunch of my winter staples, I have my grey mock neck, thick black coat and H&M boots. I was very keen on wearing a skirt but it was a challenge because winter for me means covering myself as much as possible. I ended up going for black stockings with a dark blue skirt. This skirt I have had for awhile but I've been noticing this particular style on-trend lately with the 70s comeback: A-line silhouette with the buttons down the front.

Throwback Trends | Overalls

I am aware that some people dislike the fact that overalls are back in fashion, whether it is because they look childish or because they give off too much of a farmer vibe. Personally I love them, and they’re probably one of my favourite clothing items at the moment because they can be styled many different ways. In today’s look I opted for a more ‘city chic’ look because well… I was in the city, and I thought pairing the overalls with a t-shirt and hoodie wasn’t very suitable for going to the theatre (I watched West Side Story!).

My overalls are from a little clothing stall in Thailand, and I paired them with my grey cropped mock neck top, black chunky heeled boots and a warm black coat. I love this coat because it cinches in a bit at the waist to maintain shape, and the red lining on the inside gives my outfit a hidden pop of colour. I decided on quite a dull colour palette because neutrals just tend to look more mature, demolishing the childish image of overalls, and also to draw the attention to the denim.

Have fun, and stay tuned for a Lookbook featuring overalls in the near future!
