Dad probably could've used some help dressing his baby for daycare

This dad's fashion sense is nothing if not innovative.

Brooke Hawley-Basso, a mother living in Terre Haute, Indiana, was headed to a job interview one morning, so she left her husband Jeremy in charge of dressing their seven-month-old daughter Olivia.

Little did she know Olivia would soon become an avant-garde fashion icon.

We're not entirely sure what inspired Jeremy's choice to dress Olivia in overalls with no shirt, but we're guessing he either panicked or is passionate about the movie Minions.

Brooke, of course, thought the outfit was hilarious. She even posted a photo of Olivia to Ellen DeGeneres's Facebook page, where it's been shared over 53,000 times.

Other parents are also weighing in with their own dad fashion fails — including several stories of dads accidentally dressing their kids in clothing meant for toys.
