Not your Grandpa's Overalls

True Story:  There is a photo (a photo which I cannot find--anywhere) of my grandpa and I wearing the exact same pair of overalls... I think they were Levi's.  Classic!  I was 5, it was the 90's, and really I was so adorable it didn't matter, but let's flash forward a few years...  

In 2013, overalls are back!  And in a BIG way!  It's a full-on 90s resurgence, but with every trend that comes back around, it's always done "With a Wink!"

The new overalls are more tapered through the leg to make them more fitted, and they look good with everything from silver heels, to roughed up booties, to Superga sneakers.  If you're really daring, try the shortall (the shorts version)!  

Try wearing your overalls with a loose tee or even a crop top.  A messy bun or loose waves would be perfectly boho for summer, or dress them up with silver heels for a casual date.

 

And with models like  Candice Swanepoel...

Walking on the Wild Side...Clare Vivier Clutch

Hope everyone is off to a wonderful weekend!  

I just had to pop in to tell you all about my latest purchase, which I am so excited about!  I have been wanting this baby for quite some time now, and now she is all mine!

Clare Vivier Foldover Clutch

I'm talking about the Clare Vivier Leopard Hair-On-Foc Foldover Clutch!  I cannot wait to style her! 

A clutch or purse is the perfect way to incorporate animal print into your wardrobe.  Accessories are an easy, non-committal way to try out the animal print trend.

Leopard is now being thought of as a neutral so anything really goes here--everything, that is, except other animal prints!  You wouldn't want to wear a leopard print clutch with a leopard print top and shoes...You'd have a real cat-fight on your hands.  However, you can totally wear the trend with any color!

Just look at how some other fashion bloggers have styled this same clutch...

 As you can see, leopard print has become a timeless classic print and it can even be worn with other less bold prints as seen in the middle photo above.  Leopard works great with bold colors, and looks equally great next to neutrals as the stand-out piece.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Summer is Here...Tone it Up with Ellie.com!!

So, I know it's been awhile since my last post...I'll let that sink in...Okay, it's been like FOREVER, but I am going to get back on track!  

As if you all hadn't noticed, summer is now upon us, which means the 3 most dreaded words in the English dictionary....SWIM SUIT SEASON!

To get me in the mood to strut my stuff in a swim suit, I have to first sweat it out in the gym.  And nothing motivates me to drag my butt to the gym more than cute gym clothes!  I recently found this AMAZING website Ellie.com where stylists will select an entire gym outfit for you each month for only $49.99!!!  

All you do is take a personalized style quiz so the designers can get to know you, and then every month you get a top and a bottom mailed to your door!  You can, of course, opt not to have the design team pick an outfit for you and instead choose for yourself, or you can choose to skip a month altogether.  Really, it's that simple! 

The company also is big on giving healthy eating and workout tips on their Blog and Facebook page. 

Here are a few pictures of some of my favorite outfits from previous months...

Supernova Tank and Galaxy Short

Double Threat Tank and To Dye For Capri

So now there's no excuse not to go to the gym!  

Thanks for stopping by Head to Toe Totally Chic!
