Eleven of Fifty-Eight

Wonder where wears 9 and 10 of this shirt went? Probably not, but I'll tell you. I've posted a few of the less blogworthy outfits on Instagram @olivineopal. Follow me there for a few thrift finds and a (somewhat) daily shoe shot.

I love fashion but it really does have to function or it's useless.

And I'm kind of tired of this challenge already. I'm not going to push it to 58 days in a row. Just 58 wears within the summer time frame.

Three Of Fifty-Eight

Free People tee (exact)///thrifted necklace (almost exact)///F21 skirt (exact)///Steve Madden boots///thrifted bag (same feel)

 

I'll be honest, this much boho + jersey made me feel more than a hint of mutton if you catch my drift. I'm turning 35 this year and it's got me thinking a lot about what the next ten years will look like. Professionally, spiritually, emotionally, and sartorially (since this is a style blog, we'll keep it to fashion-talk only). I remember Stacy and/or Clinton from What Not To Wear asking one of their victims why she would want to compete with the 18-year-olds, since those 18-year-olds were going to win every single time. This was several years ago and it always stuck with me. Why not be the woman in her 30s that younger women hope they look like at that age?



Two Of Fifty-Eight

AE overalls (similar, similar, similar)///Free People top (exact)///UO loafers (similar, similar, designer version)

 

Anyone that knows me knows I love a good overall. I'm a little torn on their sudden popularity. On one hand I'm pleased that I have a lot of new inspiration to wear them but on the other they're so trendy there's now an expiration date ticking down.

 

I should have taken a photo of the back but here are some instructions if you want your flowy top to, uh, flow out the back (works best with a wider neckline, no crewnecks). Pull on overalls and put just the back straps over shoulders. Put on top. Pull bib portion up while tucking the front of the shirt in. Thread the back straps through the neck hole of top and attach to bib. Et voila! I think I made it sound complicated but if you're like me and mime along to written instructions you realize it's nothing.
