4 Ways to Style the Overall Dress

Overalls are showing up more and more - whether it's the traditional overalls, overall shorts, or my personal favorite, the overall dress! Though the overall dress may seem like a spring or summer piece, it's actually perfect for all seasons and can be styled endless ways. Here's how I style my overall dress (without breaking the bank)! 

For Spring I went simple with a floral t-shirt underneath my overall dress. Floral patterns are perfect for spring and add a nice contrast. I don't know about you but the second warm weather begins I'm ready to get the perfect shave and free my legs from those restricting tights, leggings, and jeans.

For Summer I went minimalistic with a grey tank and comfy grey leggings under the overall dress. I love this look because I'd wear it for so many occasions - shopping. out to lunch. I'm also planning a road trip for this summer and I think this is a perfect road trip outfit.

My Fall look is more sophisticated! I went with a black turtle neck leotard over black tights. Leotards are back in style and are perfect for under overall dresses! The loose nature of the overall dress can cause shirts to bunch underneath. Avoid this annoying occurrence by investing in some cute leotards!

Who doesn't love a good striped shirt? For the winter look I paired my dress with a long-sleeved shirt and burgundy tights for a nice pop of color. This look will go great with boots and a sweater to keep you nice and warm!
