Trend Spotting: The Casual Pant

Do you ever find yourself hating really hard on a trend and then out of curiosity you try it and then realize that you've been such a fool because it's actually a super comfortable and awesome trend? Yeah. That just happened to me. I really disliked that "casual pants" trend but then i found a pair with a really cool pattern AND they were on super sale so why not right? Then I wore them to work and I was completely convinced! Super comfortable and super easy to dress up if you're worried about looking way too casual in the workplace--although, you shouldn't worry since wearing pajamas out is de rigueur nowadays. Anyway, now that I'm convinced I want to only wear chill pants like this alllll dayyyy errrrr dayyyyy! If i had the dough, here are some pretty good options:

Trend Spotting: Overalls or Over it?

Overalls. I've tried to ignore them, but you really can't deny their comeback, because they are EVERYWHERE I look! I still can't get around the whole trend, but I will accept that there are some people who do overalls well--I'm just not one of them. While I think the tapered overalls can only be done well by slim girls, I feel like the more loose fitting they are (like the ones on Free People"4") the more forgiving they are for everyone else. Although, I still don't think it's something I personally will be trying soon.

However...when we start talking overall shorts / overall dresses (or jumpers) we jump into a whole new territory. I feel like these are the most forgiving types and if you are wanting to jump the trend bandwagon but aren't too sure you can pull off tapered overalls, this is a good place to start. My favorite way to get a touch of the overall trend is the Urban Renewal Overall Dress "8", it's perfect! You get the trademark top part of overalls, but you can wear it as a cute dress! I feel like this is a win-win situation. Overall shorts are also pretty neat and can feel pretty effortless. I find them a lot more forgiving too! Although, i'm not too sure i'm ready for overall shorts, I find myself leaning more towards overall inspired dresses, pinafores, and jumpers like the ones Erin of Calivintage "11" and Mara of MLovesM "12" have been sporting lately.

This was the last time I was seen wearing overalls:
