shortall1th.jpgI don’t know if you’re aware of this but I’m a Momma who’s proud the way she looks. The best thing about that is I do it affordably. Meaning, I don’t dip into my kids’s college fund. With that fondness and vigor on this particular niche, Bargain Styling was born. A blogging topic that suits me perfectly, hence I can do this blogging job with my eyes closed :) . Anyhooo, if you are wondering what that does this have to do with that awful picture you are trying not to stare at, well let me tell you. On April 12th, I wrote about how ugly it is and begged fabulous Momma’s like me to please stay away from this Shortalls or Dungarees. I was particularly appaled that OLD NAVY of all places is selling it. Well. apparently not everyone(oh imagine that..LOL) stumbled upon it coz my life flashed before my eyes last Saturday. So while S was looking for a battery for the lawn mower, me, C, and the baby were looking at seeds that we’re going to plant in my garden, when this woman walked into the store wearing Dungarees with sneakers.

Oh My Gawd. I almost fainted. I wanted to go to her so badly and start with my plethora of style jargons. I wanted to introduce her to(watch out, links ahead..LOL) smocked tops, belted tunics, wedges and heels, polka-dot dresses, bold prints, multi-print skirts, LBD’s, the classic trouser look for under $100, frilly blouses, and even just a regular tee with jeans, and that during winter you can definitely wear a dress/skirt with a pair of knee-high boots, and so on and so forth. My superficiality, or vanity, whatever you want to call it was in an active mode. BUT of course I didn’t wanna get a beat down from a stranger who probably couldn’t care less whether I’m alive or not, let alone my unsolicited advice on being stylish so I just minded my own business and went on with my seed-searching task.

*PS: I wasn’t really going to faint, I have a flair for the dramatics so just ignore my blabbering mouth ;)
