During my last trip to New York City I packed my favorite pair of comfy denim overalls and a bright and colorful sweater. It was the month of October and the seasons were still in transition from summer to fall. It was warm enough to wear overalls and flat sandals in the daytime, but it was nice to have a sweater for those chilly breezy moments.
At the time I was 6 months postpartum after having my daughter and I wasn’t fitting back into my pre-pregnancy clothes just yet. Overalls were the perfect maternity staple, and also awesome for my postpartum wardrobe.
Both my overalls and sweater are from Modcloth, which always has amazing colorful and trendy clothes. They especially have the best rainbow styles!
In this guide you’ll find all kinds of style tips and inspiration for your own sweater and overall outfits. From season to season, this wardrobe combo is an easy to wear and can be worn to all kinds of daytime events.

For Halloween some people like to dress as comic super heroes with tights and capes. But there are real life super heroes who are flesh and blood humans and I personally prefer to honor them with my Halloween costumes.

I’m a big fan of wearing sparkly sequins and New Years Eve is the perfect excuse to add all the sparkle you want to an outfit. There’s something magical about staying up late to ring in a new year, especially when the fireworks show starts as the clock strikes midnight.

The struggle with dressing for New Years is always the same - how to look fabulous while still keeping warm.

In this guide I will give you some clever and fashionable tips to make your New Years Eve party style cute and warm at the same time. These pointers will also come in handy for any late fall or winter evening events where you may be outside (like a Halloween party for example!).

Fashion trends come and go throughout the years, but iconic staples from decades ago always seem to come back in style in new, reimagined ways. It’s not a new phenomenon either; a write-up from Today on nostalgic fashion notes that even ‘90s and ‘00s fashion were heavily inspired by the styles of the ‘60s and ‘70s with a newer, modern twist.

Eyewear is no exception, and with trends skewing towards the styles of 20 years ago and earlier, glasses and shades with unique frames, colors, and styles are currently the “in” thing.
