Admittedly a blue t-shirt and don’t really look like a jumpsuit, but I thought that a tee in a similar colour would at least give the impression of one.
This was a thrown-it-on outfit for a weekend walk and jolly to the supermarket (hey, my weekends are crazy!!), and although the outfit has a touch of the painter/decorator about it I’m really not bothered… I love dungarees.
I have a little tip for styling dungarees: Whatever top you wear underneath, either make sure it’s a close-fit (like a vest top/tank) or quite long. After wearing various different tops and tees with my dungarees I find that if it’s a loose fit and about the same length as the top of the trousers part then it’ll keep popping out and you’ll have to constantly tuck it back in. This was a nice extra long t-shirt so I didn’t have to worry about popping-outage (my word).
Have I converted anyone to dungarees since my last outing with them – I know many of you were considering them?!

Thanks Lauren – it's the most basic way to wear them but sometimes that's the best way…!
You look amazing in overalls! I might just pick up a pair now!
Another convert…!! Thanks Tracy x
I did love my dungarees in my twenties, must admit a little afraid now but you pull them off effortlessly, I am tempted!
You'll never go back if you do get some, Steff!! Thank you hun x
catherine you look so young and youthful and so so prettyyy!! I am on the fence with dungarees, of course you rock them, but i have a pair and don't love them on me.. jumpsuits however, i freakin' love.. currently on my 4th purchase and i just can't be stopped haha! XX Happy friday my lovely xx
Hehe isn't that funny, Rachel – I'm the other way round when it comes to jumpsuits! Just don't feel right in them somehow: I've hardly worn the one jumpsuit I have. But thank you my lovely xx
I just love this look. Your dungarees are gorgeous and look great with the white sneakers. Really lovely but still looking casual and relaxed – great. Lorraine x
Aww thank you Lorraine…!
I so couldn't pull this look off! You look ace! x
Andrea you're a sweetheart, thank you x
You can pull these off so well! Me…it would just look so sloppy. Love the laid back look on you!

Hope to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion linkup.
Aww thanks Alice – I think a lot of it is how you feel in something… I get that dungarees aren't for everyone! x
I love this! You look so fresh and funky. This is my day-to-day type of look….. Although, with my cropped hair and small bust, the dungarees can make me look like a teenage boy (with a few wrinkles!!) hahaha. I had never thought of going so casual on my own blog, you are such an inspiration.
What blusher do you use? I like the warmth it brings to your face.

Samantha thank you, what lovely comments!! I can imagine you'd actually look amazing in dungarees – I think the red crop would suit them!
I *think* the blusher I used here was a Barry M powder blush which, now that I've looked on their website, doesn't seem to be available any more. But it's close to the "Make Me Blush Powder Blusher" in Knickerbocker Glory – hope that helps…? It's a very peachy-orange colour that used sparingly comes out nice and warm 🙂
