The Overall Conundrum: When is it okay to dress like a farmer?

Can someone explain to me the appeal of overalls. I used to have a pair back in the day that I wore religiously (of course this was back when I was living in Walden, a hick town which had live pigs in the grocery stores, no jk). My mother would but them on me so that I wouldn’t get dirty while rolling around in the mud so I guess they served some purpose.

Yesterday I saw some misguided fashionista walking the streets with a pair of overalls that reminded me of Laney Boggs from She’s All That. Her hair was tustled, her pants buckled tight and she was trying oh so desperately to rock stilletos. Did I miss something here or have overalls been deemed cool by the fashion god Marc Jacobs?
