Parent Fashion for Summer: No More Frump Jeans

Assuming you're already wise enough to avoid the tempting but terrible vortex of 3/4 shorts with washed out denim and 9 inch zippers (aka: Mom Jeans), let's move on to the most important upcoming fashion challenge: Summer.  Fashionable mama (& owner of Divas & Babes online boutique),  Tonjia Cloverdale advises mamas to unleash their inner divas by avoiding the usual old t-shirts, sweatpants, ball cap routine. 

But let's not leave out all those parachute/sweats wearing dads out there, shall we?  I mean, what is with all the "George Michael ate Kentucky" big daddios schlumping around the grocery store waving the white flag and all but yelling out "I give up!! I am no longer an attractive man! I care nothing for my appearance!"

Why do you think the mean people made up South Beach?  For every hardworking gorgeous MILF-y mama out there, there are 800 "I can wear anything I darn well like and still ask you for some lovin'" daddies out there. 'Nuf said. 

Say it with me, men: "Just Say No to Frump!!"

So quickly we forget. It wasn't even a week ago that the sun set on Mother's Day -- meaning the trash is piling up again, the Diaper Genie is feeling ignored and about to just change itself and don't even get me started on foot rubbing. You

We've covered the mom jean and the anti-mom jean at length here at Strollerderby. In fact, we've zipped that topic all the way up and over , if you know what I mean. But what we haven't covered quite as thoroughly is the attire that allows
