Outfit Post: Distressed Denim Dungarees

Zara denim dungarees (sold out - similar option here at a fab price)

Led Zeppelin tee - I'm wearing a medium because it runs small

Sole Society sandals c/o (old - try these)

Spicer Bags metallic cork crossbody bag c/o

Moon and Lola mix-and-match charm bar necklace (gifted)

Sole Society metallic cat eye sunglasses (old - almost exact dupes)

Christian Paul "Whitehaven" watch (gifted)

Some weekends you just want to put on some overalls and flats, sip a cocktail and pretend like summer will never be over. I know I talk a lot about how much I can't wait for fall to arrive, but it's days when I get to wear outfits like this, that I appreciate the summer heat so much.

I've debated the overall trend and when I finally decided I wanted to try it, I couldn't find any styles that worked for me! Enter in distressed shorts - duh! Because they're frayed and somewhat loosened, the hems didn't feel tight on my thighs like other overall options have. I also love the straight bib style which alleviates the top heavy bulkiness I had experienced with pockets. Now I feel like I #CantStopWontStop wearing these bad boys. Mine are sold out but I found a fab pair from Nordstrom Rack!

Side note: how freaking cute is my charm bar necklace from Moon and Lola? I put it together while at #TBScon a few weeks ago. I love how each charm (I chose a pendant with my lower case initial, a mini pink tassel, rhinestone ball and my zodiac sign) represents me in a fun small way. It's a perfect way to show off your personality and pick exactly what you want. Holla!

Hope you loves are having a GREAT week! xoxo

Pinspiration: Overalls

I can't even believe I'm typing this post. When this trend began to emerge again I thought "There is NO WAY I am ever wearing those again" Well Nikki, better open wide because I'm about to eat a huge mouthful of my words. Read My Lips: I've fallen in love with the Overalls Trend. However, the new versions that I'm referring to aren't your typical pair of 90's dunagrees. For 2014 it's all about skinny legs and slimmer fits. I've rounded up a few pinspiration photos with ideas on how to rock this style as well as some super rad options for you to shop. You know, for when you're ready to dive back into the overalls pool. Let's go through them together shall we?

Now these dark denim overalls are definitely a piece any lady can get behind. The darker the rinse and the skinnier the leg, the more modern they look!

Love the idea of black denim in the form of overalls - the cute sneakers & gingham button up are icing on the cake!

If you're not sure about the overalls trend, maybe try a different material than denim. This maroon leather option, paired with a printed top and statement necklace, keep the outfit fun and fresh.

If you're wanting to sport a pair in a lighter wash, use tailored and feminine pieces to revamp an otherwise casual ensemble. The use of a structured bag, polka dot blouse and forest green pumps, like above, are ideal for a patchwork distressed pair of overalls.

I adore the idea of a chambray tied around the waist - so 90's, yes I know. Pepper in chic accessories like cognac ankle booties and a striped long sleeve to transform your look from flat out nostalgia to fabulously reminiscent.

This last look is one of my favorites. Combine rinses with an ombré light to dark pair then top off with lots of sparkling jewelry and metallic pumps. Again, notice the slim cut leg? Makes the entire outfit seem much cleaner and more put together.
