Romp It Up, Part Deux!

Yesterday's post about denim overalls gave me food for thought and lead me to the conclusion that a much safer alternative to denim overalls would be: denim romper. I actually thought of this as I was creating the denim overalls post, but wanted two separate posts in the end. Anyway, Free People has the cutest denim romper.
 

It is also an astronomical amount for a romper. Baby Phat has a pretty cute one as well, below. (Side note- I didn't know Baby Phat was still in business!?)
 
 Further, ASOS, quite possibly my new favorite online store, has some out-and-out overall shorts. They are all over this trend.  I think these are my favorite because they stay true to the denim overalls concept, which is what has me intrigued. And, to top it off, they have it in a different color!

Romp It Up!

The other day I was online window shopping at my second favorite store, Urban Outfitters, when I came across this throwback gem:
 
  
No, your eyes do not deceive you. You are 100% looking at denim overalls. I am undecided about how I feel about the reemergence of denim overalls. My manager wore a pair the other day and I thought it was novel and rocking...on her. It seemed very fitting for her personality. For the masses, myself included? Debatable. That being said, if I were truly truly interested I would 100% promote exploring options that included the following: a unique back detail, as those above do, and a tapered leg, versus the straight leg above. Asos has a pair I favor that do both things I mentioned, pictured below, but they literally have two sizes. Little details like that are going to be key to make this comeback work instead of looking like you are going to rake out pig stalls, or worse, displaying 6th grade nostalgia. Salud!
