Mommy & Me Outfit: Denim Overalls with Striped Top

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had the best weekend.  My son had Friday off from school, so we had a head start jumping into our weekend plans that included a trip to the Bay Area for a little staycation at my parents’ place.  Besides visiting with my Grandma on Saturday, we had absolutely nothing on the calendar and it was glorious! The last few weeks just felt like go, go, go so it was nice to step away from our everyday routine and lay low.  

Anyway, let’s chat about overalls!

I don’t know about you but ever since I was little, I have always been obsessed with overalls.  I had a pair in high school that I loved to pieces and another one in college that I used to wear all the time.  Safe to say, overalls were my jam and it was a rather sad day when I had to finally give up my pair for donation.  When I bought my son a pair of overalls from Walmart last year, I knew I could not resist buying a pair for myself too.  

Though I’ll be honest, I find it hard to dress for my body type.  At 5’0” and as someone who has broad shoulders, a small and thick frame, it’s nearly impossible for me to find jeans or clothes, in general, that fit me perfectly and overalls are no exception.  For me, shopping for new pair of bottoms is downright painful and frustrating.  No matter how many pairs I try on, it seems like there is something I don’t like about them.  If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably heard me talk a little bit about my struggle with jeans a while ago.  That said, I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair for months and when I saw these on sale at Macy’s, I had to give them a try. I am so happy I did because they are perfection! 

In terms of fit, I really love these.  This pair of overalls fits like a normal pair of skinny jeans and I love that the length hit right at my ankle.  The denim has a comfortable soft feel and has just the right amount of stretch while still holding their shape.  My son likes to move around a lot, and I don’t feel restricted in these when I go from sitting to running with a blink of an eye! It also has a convenient side zipper instead of buttons that makes it easy to slip on and take off.  You know anything to make life easier is always a plus in my book.

(*A side note, sizing runs on the smaller side since it’s from the junior’s department so if you are in-between sizes, I would recommend going up.  Also, some of the pieces we are wearing are old or sold out, but I linked similar ones for you below). 

Now getting to our outfit!

Here, we paired our overalls with a basic red, navy and white striped tee.  I love how the stripes pop against the denim and instantly add personality to our otherwise simple outfits.  For shoes, we chose to wear our white kicks because not only are they comfortable, but they are totally practical for me as a mama.  To add a little unexpected twist, I threw on my leopard belt bag to the mix, and I completed our look with our favorite sunglasses. 

So, what do you think of overalls? What are some of your favorite ways to wear overalls?

    Hi Maureen!
    This is adorable! You and your son in matching outfits! Love it. The leopard bag was a great addition! I used to have a pair back in the day, but they were a baggy style and not cut like they are now. I prefer this fit – it looks very modern and stylish on you. Looks great!
    Thank you for linking, enjoy your day!

    How cute are you both in your overalls?! And striped tees too I love it. I keep seeing cute overalls on others but haven’t tried any for myself yet (well, not since I was a kid anyway)!

  39. Bojana Krienke | 18th Feb 20

    You two both look adorable. I didn’t realize you were only 5′ and I can see how that would be difficult for overalls and even maxi dresses. You found a perfect pair! Hope you enjoyed grandma and grandpa.

    You are both so cute in your striped tees and dungarees! 🙂 I remember these from my childhood and I’m in no rush to recreate it – the bathroom was a pain and it’s hard enough with two little kids constantly trying to open the bathroom door in public haha!

    Hope that you had a wonderful weekend 🙂
