Somehow I started receiving the Metrostyle catalog recently-- I think it had something to do with placing an order from Boston Proper, otherwise known as the catalog for women who favor low-cut tops. I flipped through it distractedly while waiting to pick my daughter up from the bus, and found most of the items to be cute and cheap-- an H&M for the catalog set, if you will. However, there was one piece that really stood out, and not in a good way.
This "Short City Romper" is truly a one of a kind piece. Where else can you find a bustier-bodiced unitard in black eyelet lace, no less? For a mere $59.99 you too can look like you made a combination hooker/workout outfit out of curtains from a Goth baby's nursery. The ad copy in the catalog trumpets that it has a removable waist tie for two different looks! (Exclamation point theirs, not mine.)
"Screamer of the Week" will be a new regular feature at Ten Pretty Girls, so in honor of the first post in this category (which is going to be a hard one to top!), here's a contest to get us started: the first one who can tell me what the origin of the phrase "Screamer Of The Week" is will win a $25 e-gift certificate to Sephora.com. Here are a couple of hints: (a) the phrase was originally meant in a positive way and (b) the place where it came from can be found on my Facebook profile. Place your answers in the comment section and be sure to include your e-mail address.
