Ok, I did look at a pair of M&S boots that someone linked to, but they are also trying to get me to buy pair of Limited Edition faux leather dungarees! I mean wtf?
What in my internet history is telling them that I might be interested in these?
Please tell me that it's not just me.

Faux leather dungarees? Is this a "thing"? I feel like I've just learned something.

Yuck Hmm

Smilesandpiles · 12/09/2014 14:14

Ad block plus. Never see an ad again.

overslept · 12/09/2014 15:06

I kind of want to take ad block off just to see these monstrous dungarees Confused

TheVeryThing · 12/09/2014 15:14

I'll look for a link, here you go.

A thing of beauty aren't they?

OMFG!!! Those are hideous! And now I've made the mistake of clicking, it's going to be on my right-hand ad selection too. God I'm stupid. Sad

TitanicMoviesAlwaysGoDownWell · 12/09/2014 15:17

I'm interested they call it a "Dungaree" , not "Dungarees".

Wonder what that's about?

And yes they are foul. What do your cookies know about you that you have suppressed from your own conciousness? Grin

AnnieLobeseder · 12/09/2014 15:18

The model looks mortified to be wearing them.

AnnieLobeseder · 12/09/2014 15:19

That leather skater dress is something special too.

TheVeryThing · 12/09/2014 15:22

That's what worries me titanic Grin
I presume they mean 'dungaree' as in 'a shoe' or 'a trouser' , I mean they are high fashion after all.
Sorry Annie but felt I needed to share them with anyone who may have a gap in their Autumn/Winter wardrobe or a special occasion coming up

Those are truly grotesque. In fact the only time they may be appropriate ever is if you volunteer to be part of the cleaning crew for a bondage club.

I second AnnieLobeseder. The model looks most upset.

overslept · 12/09/2014 15:50

And I just realised there is a video Confused

If they look that unflattering on the poor model I dread to imagine what magic they could work on my derriere.

TheVeryThing · 12/09/2014 16:00

I'm so tempted to see if I can find them in my nearest M&S and try them on

They may be handy for stress-incontinence.
More annoying,to me,is the 'Talk' bar at the top of the page. I feel as if I keep snagging my tights on a splinter.

WildThong · 12/09/2014 16:08

Of God, they are evil Grin

who is going to buy them? Shock

ouryve · 12/09/2014 16:14

Did they look anything like this, OP?
:o

TheVeryThing · 12/09/2014 16:15

Nothing as flattering as that ouryve.
I have linked above but you may not want to risk it

It's made even worse by the fact that the ratio of the picture appears to have been compromised.

They have a seriously saggy arse.

overslept · 12/09/2014 16:29

TheVeryThing If you do you I think it would only be fair to post pictures as proof. Grin

overslept · 12/09/2014 16:32

"Twisting the trend for masculine tailoring, this edgy jumpsuit is a fresh take on traditional formal wear" Who the hell wrote this? and when are dungarees formal wear?! The mind boggles.

AnnoyingOrange · 12/09/2014 16:36

I am so tired of the random shite that keeps appearing in that box just because I have idly clicked on someone's link

Ad blocker you say? Does it work on an iPad? I need one

ArabellaTarantella · 12/09/2014 16:39

I use Ad Blocker - no adverts ever. 'Tis lovely.

atticusclaw · 12/09/2014 16:42

They were on a thread the other day, bet you clicked on it and the ad thing latched onto you.

TheVeryThing · 12/09/2014 17:53

Does that mean you don't even have to click on the link, then? I'm pretty sure I would have remembered these beauties had I seen them before

OP posts:
Sparklypants · 12/09/2014 19:05

Bloody hell! 60 squids for those??

Although...they would make an excellent Xmas pressie for that special someone you hate

KnackeredMuchly · 12/09/2014 19:33

Fuck they are incredible!!!

Really wish I could see the video and how naff they look in motion too Grin
