Ok so I’m sure you are wondering, “Is it socially acceptable for a late 20-something to be romping around in overalls?” Um, yes it most definitely is, and here is why I am all about them!
Oh the staple denim mini. You know what I am talking about! We all have one tucked away in our closet from those early high school days when we were starting to come into our own. Grade 9, yes that would have to be the year when my inner fashionista really started to emerge. Thankfully this denim mini is NOT from Grade 9, but I’m sure you can see where I am going with this!
I know what you’re thinking, why is she blogging about styling a black longline bomber for spring? Have you heard the quote “Women who wear black lead colourful lives” by Neiman Marcus? This would be why. For one, I love neutrals and black in particular. It is sleek, figure flattering, classic, elegant and looks good on everyone. In all honesty, more than half my wardrobe is black! Nothing against colours, but I tend to shy away from them.
So for the past 6 years, minus one, ok five, we’ll go with five, I have worked weekends. I knew that Flight Attendant’s worked weekends having grown up with one at home, but somehow I still didn’t realize that I was signing my early-mid twenties away when I took the job. Thankfully, I had WAY too much fun in university, which has helped me to do deal with all these years of FOMO. For those of you that don’t know what FOMO is, I’m referring to the ‘Fear of missing out’. Last summer I came across an article discussing why we need more ‘JOMO’ in our lives. JOMO is the ‘Joy of missing out’. Pretty sure this is someone’s way of making an excuse for their FOMO, but none the less I think it’s a great motto. It is ok to miss out on things. Life still goes on. Though you think after a while it would get easier, right? You wouldn’t mind missing out on your boyfriend’s birthday (4 years in a row) or your best friend’s bachelorette weekend, or a fabulous New Year’s Eve celebration, and don’t even get me started on Christmas, because I mean why would you care about missing out on all of these things!?
So to pay tribute to all those long lost weekends of fun being had, by what feels like EVERYONE I know, I created a top that I can wear that rare weekend I do not have to work. Best of all, it’s super cute and graphic tops are really on trend.
