Comfy Style in a Veiled Beanie and Distressed Denim

I am a total hat gal but no style is quite like the brimless beanie to me. Not because it looks best on me but because it’s an ultimate Winter staple for me and I’m assuming for you as well?

Why the heck not, it’s functional by keeping your head warm while hiding messy hair (Ha!) and fashionable by adding a cool yet effortless vibe to a look. A beanie can also give that undeniable edge to a look that a fascinator, a sunhat or any kind of hat for that matter won’t and can’t ever achieve.

From one Winter to the next, beanies continue to enjoy the spotlight and recently upgraded to Veiled, no surprises. The best thing about veiled beanies is that you can take your good ole beanie and jazz it up yourself with a piece of lace of your own choosing. What’s better than being able to choose a color or style of lace that you like to create the perfect illusion of 'mysterious and powerful'. Great DIY!

I’m wearing an effortless distressed denim, another go to of mine, a basic long sleeve tee underneath a vest and black combat boots for the ultimate cool girl look. I had previously styled this pair of jeans with the same boots and top here.

Your thoughts on this casual look, SLOPPY or STYLISH?

Wearing overalls could be tricky especially if you are not a construction worker, a farmer, a painter or a toddler for that matter.

Overalls were originally designed in the 1700’s as protective clothing to prevent work related wear and tear due to their durability. They have since evolved from that to being worn as casuals because of their comfortable nature.

Today I’m showing how I gave my overalls a street style makeover, adding a modern twist with my top of choice and my accessories to a classic comeback, very versatile and seasonless trend.

How comfy and dare I add sexy (yes overalls can be sexy) does this boyfriend overalls look and feel! Denim overalls in particular are a perfect go to for style and warmth in the cold months. The tomboyish slouchy silhouette is great for effortless layering without looking like a blown up by product of Winter.

Just like any other piece, there are no right or wrong ways to style your overalls. Balance out your basic overalls with print tops for an added fun and oomph. Wear with a crop top and cuffed legs finished with boots as shown here. Are you a fan of chunky knits? Worn on or off the shoulders, those make perfect layering pieces for overalls as well. Throw in a chunky scarf, the perfect accessory or layer a jacket over and you're good to go.

I accessorized this look with a pair of combat boots to add a tough touch and balance out the girly vibe from the midriff baring ribbed pink crop top, a veiled beanie which I literally live in (it’s beanie season after all and you'll see this one many more times, Ha!) a tritone bag that catapulted the laid back look to a whole new level, a pink tattoo choker that’s becoming a uniform for me and mirrored sunnies for an edgy finish.

Don’t you just love sunny Winter days!I read a post over at Modaodaradosti a couple weeks ago that did mention sunny Winter days. I live for days like that so I related! Cali weather is so deceptive and stays cold even when it’s sunny. It’s been very cloudy, rainy and stormy lately so when a hint of sunlight broke out from behind the gloomy skies, I was all over it. Umbrella in hand. Savoring the rain and the perfect California Winter sun.
