Overalls

I have a thing for overalls. It started back in college when it became my everyday uniform. I favored androgynous looks back then, which is to say that I dressed like a boy. Big flannel shirts, oversized tee shirts, Converse shoes, etc. Overalls fit into that aesthetic. Perhaps it would be considered anti-aesthetic?

In any case, I wore them all the time, in graduate school particularly. I even wore them out on a date. I was that clueless. I liked pairing them with a black cardi and Birkenstocks.

So these days, I've moved onto more grown-up, girly, even elegant clothes, but I still have a favorite spot in my heart and my closet for my overalls. They remind me of who I've been.
