Win a Makeover for Dad in our JC Penny “Slob to Suave” Contest!

**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER JC HARISON WHOSE HUSBAND IS IN DIRE NEED OF A MAKEOVER AFTER LOSING 150 LBS!**

Some people call him Stan.

OK, most people do except for me. I call him “Dad.”

My father is a retired petroleum engineer and lives in the Great White North. For 10 months out of the year, he is buried underneath a layer of fleece.

Suffice it to say, his summer wardrobe is rather lacking.

That’s why I was thrilled to set dear ‘ol Dad loose at JC Penny for his very own “Slob to Suave” makeover. The end result was a man ready to ditch the land of frozen tundra and celebrate summer.

Now, it’s your turn. Tell us why your husband or father needs a “Slob to Suave” makeover and you will be entered to win a $100 JC Penny gift card. Please go here to enter. Contest deadline is Father’s Day.
