Elements of Kaylee’s Outfit

1. Colorful Fjällräven Backpack

I actually love that Kaylee’s mint green Fjällräven backpack isn’t brand new and has scuffs on it. It has character. Some things just look better when they’ve been worn out a bit. 

2. Buttons & Overalls

How cute are Kaylee’s buttons on her overalls? Pins and buttons are one of the most slept-on accessory trends — and more people should be rocking them! 

If you are not much of a jewelry-wearer but still want to accessorize, buttons and brooches should be your go-to. You can tell so much about a person based on the kind of little accents they have on.

3. Doc Martens

When in doubt, call the doctor. Doc Martens 1460s are the perfect shoes to save any outfit from basic-ness. Kaylee decided to pair hers with some dark gray socks and scrunched them above the boot. This small decision added a subtle something extra to her outfit.

  1. I don’t mean to be mean, but the glasses, yellow shirt and blue overalls kinda reminds me of the minions from Despicable Me…
