Really, Gap?


This is currently being sold at Gap for $69.50. Seriously? Is this in style? A jean overall dress? For $70?? I feel like you can go down to your local Goodwill and pick up one of these exact same dresses for about $5.
In my opinion, overalls are never a good idea (unless you are an actual farmer, or 3 years old), and making it into a dress is even worse. Sure, I may have rocked something similar in 1991 when I was in the 7th grade, with slouch socks and keds with no laces. But in 2010, are we really going to be seeing this horrific thing come back in style? I just got on board with the whole cotton romper thing (I still think they are pretty ugly and unflattering to most people), but I cannot support this "trend".
Also, on the Gap website, this dress actually has 7 excellent 5 star reviews! So 7 people have purchased and LIKED this thing! They go on and on about how much they love it. That seriously blows my mind!

So am I that much out of the fashion loop that this is seriously popular now, or am I right in thinking this is hideous?

  1. I'm on the same boat as you. Except I probably wore mine with the 2 pairs of socks (coordinating colors, of course) and construction boots

  2. Oh no! Guess I should return mine? Kidding (thank goodness!). Wow, that's bad...although I do know a few people who could probably pull it off - they're all under the age of 5.

  11. I saw this the other day. Overalls are never a good look for someone over the age of 2.

  16. Ughhh, I'm having bad bad flashbacks. I went to a private Christian school for 12 years and had to wear skirts below our knees... this was something I never wanted to see again.
