So, after I decided to keep the black version of the Nadia overalls instead of the blue, I decided not to.  Actually, I felt like the black overalls were tighter, not stretching much, and this pair did, which makes them much more comfortable, and easier to get up and down, if you get my meaning.  Anyway, I have a lot of black in my wardrobe (obviously) and thought I could do with something a little different.

I wore these three days in a row the week before we left for vacation – and I didn’t suffocate from the heat.  It’s the linen top I think, keeps me cool (I love the overalls with my linen tank too).  I do also play around a bit with the tie waist, and try to cinch it up a bit more; I think it’s a little better looking that way, but movement, lots of sitting/standing, etc. loosens it up, making them look slouchier as time goes on.

I’m so happy with these 🙂
