the wonder of Overalls. for me anyway. memory lane monday.
after sharing my rocking engagement pic with everyone i decided it should come out. how about MEMORY LANE MONDAY? it's been a long while.
Oooola la! I loved me some overalls.
they were the best pants ever.
or shorts.
or OOOOOHH! capri overalls.
seriously there was nothing better back in the day.
let me tell you why.
i liked them when i was young because they were roomy, and comfy, and they hid my RAD butt that for some reason attracted guys to smack my butt. RUDE. and considered sexual harassment now. i was all about hiding my assets. which at that point i didn't know they were assets, if i'd known how fleeting those assets were , i would have flaunted them instead of hiding them.
i liked them when i was pregnant. they didn't squish my gut, my always nauseated belly.
i loved them for the pockets. they were the perfect pants for a new mom or a mom with 3 kids 2 and under.
cell phone, keys, bottle, burp cloth, bottle. yeah. that was me. Overalls were PRACTICAL.
i have pictures of me in Junior High, High school. single, newlywed, pregnant, new mom.young mom.
if only i could find them. (the pictures i mean) my album has gone missing. and i'm not feeling the desire to dig through boxes right now.
i still have a pair in my closet(overalls). capri ones. like Julia Roberts in Runaway bride. or was i the only one that thought that was darn cute? yeah . i don't wear them, (mostly because i realized they are SUPER NOT FLATTERING,nor where they ever flattering) but yeah i keep them, because i love them. someday they will make a comeback. right?
NO? what do you mean?
ok, maybe i should let those go. some homeless woman can buy them at the goodwill and use the pockets for holding her loot. Who needs to drag a grocery cart full of crap, when you could just fill your pockets?
i had Dickies, my own adult Oshkosh b'gosh ,old navy, Gap, and who knows how many other pairs. denim, plaid, khaki, polkadot, black. YEAH i LOVED overalls.
i should really dredge up those old pictures.
you should dredge up yours too. you know you loved overalls back in the day?! didn't you?
OH remember the Guess ones from the '80s?
OH i loved those with the heart bib? meaning not straight across on the top, ring any bells?
OH HELL YEAH . i think i wore those in my 5th grade school picture. SWEET!
seriously need to dredge up the old pics.
k i found one(and it's not great but i do have overalls on). maybe i'll find a couple more.
do you have pics of you in overalls? show 'em to me baby!
i dare ya!

Too cute - no pictures of me in overalls - I think for me it's more of pants rolled up because they were too long!!!
I loved overalls. I was so sad when they became hard to find at the stores. Is that the sign something is not cool anymore? I think the last pair I bought were for post pregnancy(8 1/2 yrs ago), awesome for not putting pressure on healing c-section incision. Before that it was preggo ones.
I loved them in highschool cuz they added curves that I didn't have then. They don't have the same cuteness when you have a plethora of curves.
NO overalls, I couldn't stand them back in the day, and infact, I have nevah bought them for my children either!!
wierd I know!
I think you look totally cute in your pics. I still have my overalls too. I don't know if I have any pics but I will look. They are so comfy! If I could fit in my old ones, I would wear them style or not. I go for comfort nothing else. I think I need a makeover ;)
I also loved (still do) overalls and I too still have a pair stashed away in my closet. Ahhh, memories!!
I never owned a pair of overalls.... Cute picture
I almost snorted laughing when I read this. I used to love overalls, young married and young mother. Alan told me he did not love them. I found a picture of myself in them the other day and well they were HORRIBLE! I look so much better now, what was I thinking? Sweats truly are better than those things. I totally had pant and capri ones too.
