Frumpy Farmer Called, She Wants Her Overalls Back
When I heard of The Parent Bloggers Network's latest Blog Blast, I knew I had to participate. They've teamed up with Harper Collins and issued a challenge to reveal clothes in our closets that we should have donated or trashed YEARS ago.
Just a few weeks ago, I did just that. I cleaned my closet and donated two enormous boxes of high-waisted pants, no-pocket-on-the-butt jeans, shapeless shirts, shirts with horizontal stripes, and many other frumptastic articles of clothing. Please note that I said many and not all. I did save two things. And I'm not at all sure why.
I don't know what I was thinking, either. First, I don't enjoy farming/gardening/landscaping activities enough to warrant TWO pairs of overalls. And second, my tubba-lubba rear-end doesn't stand a chance in Hell of fitting into those clothing anomalies. (Seriously? A one piece outfit? In 2007? Gah!) And last, but most definitely not least, ONLY the 0-5 crowd can pull off this look successfully.
Carson pulled it off much better as a 10-month-old than I ever could have at 32. Actually, I probably didn't pull it off when I first bought them either. Pitiful.
Why did I save these again?
Why don't you reveal your frump-o-rama mommy clothes, too (after you participate in Haiku Friday, OF COURSE)!!! You could win a $250 gift certificate to Coach! Just link PBN and Harper Collins in your post. Be sure to include a picture of your need-to-be-donated clothes.

I think I'm hanging onto to a pair of overalls too. I don't know why either.
let's ditch them together!
Oh, Lordy. Yeah. I had some of those too. Fortunately, they are now gone.
I just want to say that your post title cracked me up when I saw it listed on PBN. And Carson is ADORABLE!
I have a pair of maternity overalls hanging around. Wow, nothing is worse tehn a HUGE belly in overalls!
I had a pair of overalls for years!
In 1993, I wore them to work. With. A. Straw. Hat.
And no, I did not work at a gardening nursery, which is why two of my co-workers collapsed into hysterics and attempted an intervention.
I gave up the hat. But the overalls? Hung onto them for several years.
I've got a pair of overalls. Why? I don't know. How many times have I worn them? Too few to count.
And you're one step ahead of me. I've been meaning to clean out my closet for three years now!
Oh those overalls - it's a love/hate relationship. Love them when I wear them. Hate them when I look in a mirror.... :)
I haven't had overalls in years, but I'm still wearing most of my maternity clothes (with the delusion that this is not really my body) and I'm getting frumpier by the day.
You must bring the overalls to NY and we can take pics of the two hicks freaking out all the big city normals.
I had a pair of jean overall's in college & thought I was the bomb!! Thinking back...I'm pretty sure I looked ridiculous!!!!
Thank God I ditched them!
I got rid of mine a while back. Should have told me something when my 3 year old was refusing to wear them!
oh, I have vague recollections (surpressed) and probably photos of my old overalls. they shouldn't be allowed to sell them, I swear - except for the 0-5 set, of which your is adorable!
I've got a pair in my closet. I have no idea why I'm keeping them.
Overalls are comfy when you're pregnant and you're in that "I don't fit in my maternity clothes yet I don't fit in my skinny pre-pregnancy clothes" stage.
