THE SHORTALL OF IT

(Cotton On Clara Shortall in Summer Light Wash, Uniqlo IDLF Linen Blended Crew Shirt, Zara Animal Print Messenger Bag, MiuMiu Cateye Sunglasses (Similar), Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Red Sunrise.)  

So given my musings about Jumpsuits the other day, I figured it was time to talk about the jumpsuit's long lost cousin - overalls, or as these babies are so aptly named...shortalls!
One would assume that if the chic and sleek, jumpsuit is a no-go in the eyes of men, then farmer's overalls would definitely be off-limits ...but apparently not! These shortall's from Cotton On got a big thumbs up yesterday which was surprising to say the least. I'm not complaining though as they are super comfy, the perfect shade of faded baby blue and really easy to wear in LA. What can I say, Cotton On really know what they are doing when it comes to denim/chambray basics.

 Incidentally, speaking of Cotton On, Lara Bingle only last night launched her new range at the LA Santa Monica Store. Although I am a very long way from being a Bingle advocate ('Being Lara Bingle' was possibly one of the most painful reality series that I've ever endured), I do like the look of this new range of basics so I'll be sure to check it out and If you're in LA I would definitely recommend that you do the same.  

  

On another note re. inexpensive basics, this tee from Uniqlo is so good that I bought two of them... which is saying something. The last time I was seeing double in my wardrobe (via the acquisition of two of the same tees) was in the case of the Rag and Bone/Jean tee (here). That was a pretty special tee, which also came with a pretty expensive price tag but I think I am going to be so bold as to say that at only $12.90, I actually like this Uniqlo one better. It 's off-white colouring, sleeve length and scoop neck are all so perfect and the fabric is ridiculously soft.
