The Core Look

You'll own the day in this absolutely adorable combination that's giving me major festival meets street style vibes! I'm obsessed with how the tie dye shirt brings those dreamy swirls of blue and pink together under distressed denim shortalls. It's the perfect blend of casual cool and artistic flair that I know you'll rock!

Style It Your Way

Let's talk about making this look uniquely yours! The sprinkle inspired lip art is giving me life while you might not recreate it exactly for everyday wear, I'd suggest going with a bold coral lip color that matches the cheerful energy of your outfit. Keep your accessories playful with that edgy black crossbody bag with cute patches and hearts (I'm literally in love with those details!).

Perfect For...

I can totally see you wearing this for:

  • Summer music festivals where you need that perfect mix of style and comfort
  • Casual weekend brunches with your besties
  • Art gallery hopping on a sunny afternoon
  • Street fairs and outdoor markets

Comfort & Practicality

Trust me on this those denim shortalls are a game changer for all day comfort. I'd suggest wearing bike shorts underneath for extra comfort when sitting. The tie dye tee is breathable and perfect for those warm summer days. Those white sneakers will keep you bouncing from spot to spot!

Mix & Match Magic

Here's what I love about this outfit it's super versatile! The shortalls can pair with any solid tee when you're not feeling the tie dye vibe. The tie dye top would look amazing with high waisted jean shorts or a skater skirt too.

Budget Friendly Tips

I know this look might seem expensive, but I've got some tricks up my sleeve! Try thrifting the overalls they often look even better with a bit of wear. For the tie dye shirt, you could totally DIY it at home (I've done it, and it's super fun!) or check out sales at stores like Target or H&M.

Sizing & Fit Notes

When it comes to overalls, I always recommend sizing up if you're between sizes you want them to have that perfectly relaxed fit. The tie dye shirt should be slightly oversized to nail that casual cool vibe I'm seeing here.

Care & Keeping

To keep your tie dye vibrant (because we want those colors popping!), wash it inside out in cold water. For the overalls, spot clean when possible and wash sparingly to maintain that perfect distressed look we're loving.

Style Psychology

This outfit radiates creativity and joy it's perfect if you're feeling playful but still want to keep things stylishly put together. I find that wearing something this fun instantly boosts my mood, and I bet it'll do the same for you!

Opinions and Perspectives

Love those overalls!

I totally need those denim shortalls in my life! Has anyone tried styling them with a cropped tank instead of the tie-dye? I'm thinking of getting a pair but want to make sure they're versatile enough

The tie dye is everything!

I've styled similar overalls with a plain white tee and it looks super clean and classic. The tie-dye gives it such a fun festival vibe though

Can we talk about that amazing crossbody bag with all the patches? I'm obsessed with those little details

Perfect summer look

My tip for tie-dye is to hand wash separately the first few times. I learned this the hard way when my white shorts turned pastel

Those white sneakers complete it

I love how the distressing on the overalls adds character! Anyone know where to find similar ones?

The colorful lip art is goals

I actually made a similar tie-dye shirt at home using a DIY kit. It's such a fun weekend project and saves so much money

Would this work for a concert?

The patches are everything!

I styled my overalls with a striped tee and it gave such a different but equally cute vibe. That's what I love about them - so versatile!

Has anyone tried these overalls in hot weather? I'm worried they might be too warm for a festival

The overalls are actually super breathable! I wear mine all summer. Just make sure to get the right size so they're not too tight

I'm thinking about recreating this look but with pastel pink sneakers instead of white. What do you all think?

Such festival vibes!

The bag really makes it pop with all those cute little hearts and patches. Really ties the whole look together

Would black combat boots work instead of sneakers for a grungier vibe?
