Disney princess band-aid serving as leg swag here.
Diaper butt.
UNIONBAY, ladies.
Overall Dress (Vintage UNIONBAY from Urban Outfitters, similar here), Blouse (Topshop - old, similar here), Shoes (Zara, similar here and here), Watch (Marc by Marc Jacobs), Necklace (Dogeared), Bracelets (Madewell and Asos - old, similar here and here)
With the resurgence in the popularity of overalls this Spring has also come a resurgence in the popularity of all things that even remotely resemble a pair of overalls i.e. overall dresses, pinafores, rompers, jumpsuits, and the like.
That's where shrewd and ready-to-pounce retailers like Urban Outfitters (I've got nothing but love for you guys, I promise) come in to prey on our nostalgic propensities (in particular our intense and often flighty love of brands we used to wear when we were kids; for me this is UNIONBAY. See also: Lee, Doc Martens, Hush Puppies, ESPRIT...) and our tendency to call shit from 15 years ago "Vintage" so that they may rummage through the trillions of tons of Goodwill reject denim to bring us something like this little number at probably 5 times the price of what it would and should cost. (Urban, I told you! Nothing but love.)
Oh and best believe that shit worked on me like a charm. A refitted and resewn pair of "vintage" UNIONBAY overalls, hastily stitched as a dress and remarketed to me as a hip collector's piece for 50 bucks? SOLD. I most likely bought back the exact pair I owned in 2nd Grade, the pair I so vehemently discarded and banished to the Goodwill gods a few years later because HELLO, I WAS STARTING 6TH GRADE and UNIONBAY is obviously for babies, only now there's 3 feet less fabric along with no crotch, and my mom didn't buy these for me...and I'm totally fine with it.
But we're not talking about overalls, here. We're talking about pinafores. An entirely different beast. Suffice it to say that the last time I wore an actual pinafore I was most likely in OshKosh and finger painting. Because who wears pinafores in their adult life anyway? A lot of people actually. And that's because our moms knew what they were doing when they were buying our kinder-wear—those mofos are CUTE. Kyoot.
I've come a long way since my OshKosh-B'gosh-wearing-days, but I think Kindergarten Me would have appreciated this look (and my Disney princess band-aid).
