aisha aisha aisha.
dungarees, overalls (i wanted to do a
stylistic list of all the names here but that’s pretty much it covered, isn’t
it?) how much power do they have?
it’s a good question - I have a feeling you already know
the answer, but let’s go through the evidence anyway:
1. problem: i want a lie-in but styling an outfit
in five minutes is too hard. solution: dungarees.
|
as you can see, they're all in one |
let’s start with the obvious – it’s a top and trousers all
in one.
all in one. it's like the
soup (drink and food all in one) of the fashion world. how can this be a bad thing? you wake up in the morning and
you decide ‘today I’m wearing dungarees’ and that’s pretty much it - the top
half already matches with the bottom because it’s
all in one. if you want, that's your whole outfit done, or alternatively, you can also wear anything underneath. that's right - anything - because the top
already matches with the bottom, because
it’s
all. in. one.
2. problem: I don’t have enough money to buy new
clothes for every occasion/season. solution: dungarees.

canadian president stephen harper wishing he wore dungarees as well
|
you can literally go to any occasion wearing
dungarees and you will look great. i challenge everyone to find
any other '
clothe' that can claim this.
work – white shirt and dunagrees
3. problem: i spill shit everywhere. solution:
dungarees.
|
someone trying to cover up a spillage for no reason |
aisha, you don’t have to worry about spillages
any more! the bit that goes up from the trousers is actually
called a bib so it’s
basically just telling you to go wild and reach for that jam doughnut you've been eyeing up.
4. problem: i don’t suit loads of trends out there
because the media says these things don’t suit my body/face/gender/race/class/hair/ear
lobe length/voice pitch. solution: dungarees.
|
as malleable as ya get |
there will literally be dungarees to suit
you even if you are a 1cm
micro-organism or something else that probably can’t just
slip into the latest nasty gal
mini dress.
unlike bodycons,
dungarees offer a style that suits anyone. baggy, tight, short, long, denim,
cotton, and lets not forget the dungaree dress which literally looks great on
everyone c’mon.
5. problem: I don’t know how to be cool but I really
want to be cool. solution: dungarees.
|
look at her go |
you will look cool without having to think
about what you’re wearing
6. problem: sometimes i worry my top will just fly off
and then i’ll be really embarrassed. solution: dungarees.
|
whoops. oh no wait it's fine |
unlike
most other tops, if this one falls off then it’s totally fine cause you can
totally wear it like that as well. totally.
7. problem: sometimes I don’t have somewhere on my
body where I can transport a tampon to the toilet without just holding it in my
hand. solution: dungarees.
|
i've got two flapjacks in here for later |
you're sitting at your desk at school/
work/prison and you wanna go sort yourself out. now you could be one of these women that just takes her whole bag to the toilet but c'mon you might as well just carry a packet of always with you if you're gonna do that.
girls clothes don't have pockets**. but dungarees do, usually many, for all the tampons you need.
so aisha, i think the conclusion here is pretty darn obvious
if you ask me:
of course dunagrees won’t solve all your problems. i don't want to be the bearer of bad news but a lot of problems you will face over your life
time will be out of your control. we both know a piece of material is not going to stop you getting diarrhoea on the day of your wedding or fix your boiler or get your sister
to forgive you for gradually stealing and then losing her hair slides*** is it
aisha?
this has been emily.
*note: for some serious dungaree inspo check these two ladies out, they've got it covered.
**note: no this is not an exaggeration.
***note: don't worry this is not a prediction, hopefully none of these will happen to you. especially the wedding one - it's weird that statistically that situation has happened to someone before though. maybe it was the woman in the dungarees with the veil. maybe she thought dungarees would solve her food poisoning but it didn't. who knows aisha. who knows.
