Kitschy, Kitschy Cool
I'll let you in on a little secret. Little boys have very poor fashion sense. My two darling bundles of boy, for example, would live in their ratty, hand-me-down Spiderman shirts, eschewing their closetful of hip, trendy boy outfits any day of the week. And let me tell you, they would shout joy and praises out loud if I ever allowed them to get those hideous cartoon-character tennis shoes that all the rest of their friends (who apparently have much nicer and less controlling mommies) have, and that they so dearly want.
But we're finding some common ground. For example, my five year old and I are both huge fans of Babesta. I love their kitchy, vintage-cool tees and onesies with designs like Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs, JFK, the Doors and this Scrubbing Bubbles one I received recently. This tee is my son's new favorite. He calls it his "Scrubby-Man" shirt and waits with breath abated each time it's in the laundry. The day he got it (and promptly put in on) he said, "Mommy, WHERE did you get this shirt? They make the best shirts ever!" Everyone we come across seems to share that opinion, because this tee consistently draws comments every time my son has it on. People love it!
In addition to the tees, Babesta has a host of super-cool accessories, music and more for your modern tot. Mommies With Style readers can score 10% off through December 31 with the code MWS10. Shop often, as the merchandise is always changing to add new and unique stuff. Make sure to sign up for Babesta's newsletter to get the heads up on sales, new products, special VIP offers and more.
And just between you and me, if you see my son, please don't tell him that Scrubby-Man is not an actual superhero. I don't think it will ruin the magic. But I'm not taking any chances.
Reviewer's note: I found that the tees run small, so take that into account when ordering.

I can't seem to get the discount code to work. Has anyone else been able to use it?
