I don’t have much to say about this outfit. Except that sometimes you take a chance on something and it works out, other times it doesn’t. I don’t believe in worksheets, or “uniforms,” or signature styles (eye roll), or that you can predict with much accuracy at all before you buy, what you will wear and love for x number of years. If you let it, clothing can be surprising, and building a wardrobe can be an enlightening adventure.
I am lucky that I can try things others may not be able to. And I have an excellent resale outlet for things that don’t work out. There are always costs involved, though, and I try to avoid buying things that are questionable in the first place, but sometimes you just have to buy the overalls.
In this case, I am happy to say, I love them.
How do you like the GG sneakers? I see them often in your posts and I love them, but the $$$ has me wondering if they’re worth it, or if I’d be just as happy with the Frye Ivy Low sneakers…
Chance well taken. Those overalls look fantastic on you! I agree that sometimes you need to take a chance with your wardrobe. You never know how it is going to work out but it’s fun trying.
i have tried several pairs of GG sneakers, mostly secondhand, and i didn’t find any very comfortable until these – maybe it’s the platform in them? i don’t know, but i like them a lot. they’re so expensive though, and i was lucky to get them with credits at Shopbop – i’m not sure they’re worth paying full price for – or buying new. i’d try them secondhand first…
i do love all the colors GG offers though, now that i’m into color 😉
i do have to add that i know that lots of people really rave about how comfortable GG is and have several pairs…obviously everyone is different in terms of levels of comfort though too
Thank you for the feedback! Yes I love the colors too and I’m really drawn to the metallic ones — a big stretch for my strictly earth-toned wardrobe! I’ll admire from afar until I find a pair $200 or less (which seems like a big ask — maybe I’ll keep an eye out on eBay 🙂 )

i’m not sure what that means!!!?
