One Dress, Two Cities

So what do you do if you're shopping with a friend and you both go for the same item? Do you call dibs or let your pal have the coveted item of clothing? I'm sure how teenage you would answer that quiz in an issue of Seventeen says something about your personality.

As for me? I say we can both snag it! And I lucked into having great friends because Ashlyn found this dress first and she was happy to let me jump on her bandwagon.

So you want to talk about the dress? Cool, me too. In case you didn't notice, it's overalls. And a dress/skirt. So if you're super clever like me and Ash, you can call them skoveralls. It's a new word we've invented, but I expect it to be all over New York Fashion Week.

We found the brilliant piece of denim at a Zara in Chicago. We quickly realized we could wear them with just about anything — the perfect transitional piece from late summer to fall. (RIP summer I love you).

So here it is: one dress, two ways — or one dress, two cities — whichever you prefer. I styled mine "fancy" (or as fancy as denim overalls can get). Basically what I'm saying is, I wore mine to church (and coffee beforehand and brunch afterward and Aldi later that day). So, yes. Very fancy.

Ashlyn wore her skoveralls our last day running around Chicago together, so she styled it for more of a city day. A small, over-the-shoulder bag and sneaks are a must when you're walking all day! (RIP summer and RIP our feet, also).

Oh, so I'm sure some of you are wondering who Ashlyn is. She's my boyfriend's sister, and she's the best. She goes to school up in Chicago; last week Austin and I were able to go up and visit her. We had such a sweet time, and if teleportation was a thing and work didn't exist, I'd totally be hanging out in Chicago with her right now.

Oh, and the other sweet thing we found?? This mural in Chicago. That one's just self explanatory.

What do you think of this trend. Are you into it, or over-all it?
