tommy ton for style.com, we the people
My mum gleefully regaled the dinner party at our house last night with tales of my childhood sartorial decisions. When I was a kid I loved overalls - so much so that I wore them to the exclusion of all else. I had a raft of crayola-coloured overalls (short, long, denim, chinos, patterned) that I wore every day, day in day out, for about 2 years. I also had a page boy hair cut and a fierce love of pokemon cards. This was around about the same time that I started to really read voraciously and there are hundreds of photos of me at this time, curled up on the couch in overalls and a hoodie, cap on backwards or lying by my side as I devoted my entire attention to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It's all very hip like Greta Villiger - my I was trendy aged 11. I've always wanted to wear overalls again now, but I've never found the perfect pair and they kind of require an Alexa Chung-esque body shape. Still, in 2 days (2 days!!) I embark off to Hong Kong and Paris, and it's worth day dreaming of languid summer days in a an overall dress with a criss cross back and a big oversized oatmeal coloured sweater and bronze limbs.
