Overalls Overload

Remember overalls?  Aka Dungarees?  Big in the 90s and a fashion trend I had hoped was passe forever.  Apparently not.  They're back!  In fact, they're not just back, they are all over the New York, London, Paris 2013 runways and on the streets.  I am letting out a big sigh of dread right now. 

Like peplum, I refuse to succumb to this ridiculous fashion trend.  I am not convinced.  Haute Couture or not, I tried it in the 90s - and the overalls look did not work for me or anyone else who wore them.  Overalls will definitely not work for me now (and by that I mean, being able to wear them without feeling like a pudgy 70 year old farmer about to herd some goats).   There is one man, my uncle, (a mechanic by trade) who has worn overalls to work every day since the 90s (and probably before that) and he can pull them off.  I will have to let him know that he is leading the latest fashion trend.   Do you think you can pull of a pair of overalls?  Will you be putting on your heels and strutting down the street in these little numbers?
