ideeli, youd be selling dresses and not shirts

I was browsing the Savage sale on Ideeli today and saw this:

Vandal dress? Apparently they vandalized it so much that it is now a shirt. Not to mention it looks like a garbage bag - it even has a drawstring! By the way, I love it when shirts that are being sold as dresses are on sale. Totally supports my argument.  I mean, you have to slash the price when it's half the clothing, right?



If you haven't checked out ideeli, check it out.

Just Snook It

In honor of the Season 2 Premiere of Jersey Shore tonight, I've prepared a little homage to our girl, Snooki. Oh, Snooks. You serial offender, you! I've said it before and I'll say it again - I just want to take you home, pet you on your poof, and feed you pickles, Snooks! Don't think I could afford the vaccinations, though,

Snooki out on the town!

Snooki gettin' down!

Snooki wearing black with brown?

Happy Watching!!!

Tanks for nothing, American Apparel

Honestly, I think they're just f***ing with me now. Sigh.

OKAY, seriously even the model knows this is a shirt.  She's obviously wearing pants with this, even if they do appear to be jeggings.  But it's clearly listed as a dress!  GAAAA!

Exactly. I'm really hoping it's a typo. Anyway, this belongs on FAIL blog.

Shirt-tle Beach

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been traveling a lot lately, most recently I spent the weekend in Myrtle Beach with some girlfriends. Anyway, of course I saw PLENTY of fashion faux-pas including interesting hair, rompers galore, and of course SoD's. I really need to start taking better pics, but here's one of a woman (who obviously dates a Mullet) who set off a major Shirt or Dress? alert in my group.

I know it's hard to see but let's just say, it was this style, but shorter, and I could see ALL her cellulite. Ladies, we all have cellulie but we don't need to always be showing it. Again, you don't need your ass hanging out to work it. Especially at the beach. C'mon.

James and the Giant Peach Shirt

We already discussed my attempt at getting a good picture at a beer festival a couple of weeks ago (and me failing horribly). However, we did not discuss my successful stealth picture taking skills. This gem was found at the same festival. Thanks again to my accomplices AB and JT for posing soooo well. Ha!

So I know it's long enough to wear as a dress. But it looks like she took the wardrobe from Precious (based on the Novel: Push by Sapphire) and decided to wear it sans pants. I mean, it's a little big. And stupid looking. She's a small girl and she doesn't need to drape herself in a peach garbage bag. Why can't people wear clothes that fit them. Argh. It's either too small or too big. But it's always perfect for this blog. So... here's the poll.

From the trenches...

Occasionally, I actually step away from my computer and make an appearance in regular society Shocking, I know. With the weather warmer, it's impossible not to notice the scores of SoDs out there now and when I see blog material, it's hard for me to not try to get a picture of the offense. Which led to a little crazy seeping out this past weekend.

At a local beer festival, I was telling my friends JT and AB about my blog as well as my disdain for rompers. They were EVERYWHERE. These two already love to people watch, but they took it to a new level after this conversation. Also, Romper Drinking Game was created. JT spotted several SoDs including a particularly heinous one, and I pulled out my iPhone and went on a mission. Meaning I followed this girl halfway across the festival. I'm talking from Beer Station #4 to the stage. I blame Romper Drinking Game. And this is all I have to show for it.

Total FAIL.Nice thumb. Just imagine a black dress shirt with a belt around the waist because that's basically all it was. HORRENDOUS.

Fun With Twitter!!

As you OBVIOUSLY probably already know, we're into social networking. You can find Shirt or Dress? on Twitter, Facebook, and at beer festivals. Any who, I use Tweetdeck to track all the SoD happenings on the interwebs. Love the search functionality. If you mention wearing shirts as dresses in your tweets, I will find you! Here's some fun stuff.

 Thanks to readers who tweet material such as:  @dazzledsteph, who said:

@shirtordress When I saw this postcard on PostSecret today, I immediately thought of you... http://bit.ly/cc3adW

 I lose my faith in humanity... 

@onedancinblonde: this is a shirt, but....I'm going to wear it as a dress, is that okay? if its not, i'm still doing it.  http://tinyurl.com/2fyyapz

 Here's the garmant in question, BTW:

...And regain my faith in humanity, like when @ChristineMiX  tweeted:

Remind me to buy a shirt and wear it as a dress. Apparently, it's all the rage right now. #Geez

@A_Slaughter:

Pleasedo not wear: 1. White heels 2. A shirt as a dress 3. Heels w a denim skirt or 4. Your Halloween cat woman costume to a bar. 

 And finally, I laugh a lot. Like @love_lely who has this as her profile pic:

I showed this pic to Jami of Date Wrecks fame/@DateWrecks.The consensus between us was shirt. Or shorts pulled up to her shoulders. Anyway, it gets worse. She also tweeted:

Prof: do u usually take your boyfriends shirt put a belt around it & wear it as a dress? Me: do you usually pay that much attn to me?

Professor give that girl an A! That is, of course, assuming that she's taking a class on how to be defensive and vain.

You're Not Blake Lively...

...But your ass IS hanging out.

Blair Waldorf is going to own you for this!

Your boob job isn't helping

It's a shirt. Put on some damn leggings. Thanks.

Shirt, Dress, or Trainwreck?

As Hollywood Gossip so adequately reported, Tila Tequila is ridiculous. Apparently she is signed up for Celebrity Rehab. There are plenty of shirty photos of Ms. Tequila floating around, but this one my favorite. Read: most nauseating. I don't even know if this qualifies as an article of clothing. I mean... what is it??

From the city who brought you American Apparel...

I was in LA for a couple of days last week and saw some major SoDage out there. After meeting up with some friends for brunch in Santa Monica and some shopping/people watching/singing along to street performers singing Disney tunes on the Promenade, I had my camera out for a group photo while SHE walked by:

BTW, her romped-out friend on the right isn't helping her case much either. Just sayin'...

Eat your heart out, Adam West

As if men with mustaches weren't creepy enough. Now there's this:

To the shirtmobile!

Shirt, Dress, or Bat?Market Research

If a Walk of Shame could be at all elegant...

Over-Sized shirt isn't code for "don't need pants!"

Shirty Gonzales

Ah, Cinco de Mayo. A day when Americans shamelessly exploit a date that's really not too big of a deal in Mexico's history (no it's not Mexican Independence Day) by drinking margaritas, downing tequila, and making really bad Mexican jokes and use of Mexican words/cathphrases/whatever. Seriously if I hear "Si Senorita" or another Three Amigos reference today I'm going to go loco. 

This, my friends, is a poncho.

I say this is not a dress. Comprende?

Shirt or Dress? is on Facebook!

And so is "Your XXXL shirt looks like a dress... you're not gangsta or fresh."

Does this picture make anyone wanna JUMP! JUMP! Kris Kross'll make ya do that, I hear. This truly rivals wearing your clothes backwards though....







Become a fan of... sorry "Like" SoD's Facebook page!

*Random Kris Kross reference. Kudos if you got that. You must have been in elementary/middle school in the 90's. :)

From the People Who Brought You Wearing Sunglasses In Da Club...

THIS.

I wish Ed Hardy would stop making clothes. Please stop making belts. Stop making shirts. Stop making hoodies. Stop making douchebags and douch-VAG's.

Here's what they say about this.. uh... "article of clothing" :

"Sexy Ed Hardy Women's Long Shirt that can be used as a dress."

Used as? Also can be used as skank rag, slut grabber, and coochie reacher.

Dress: Australian for Shirt

Foster's isn't actually Australian for beer. Despite the claims of the ads, apparently it's not widely enjoyed in Australia. Liars. 


Okay... so today I'm back again with the Aussie humor. I'm sorry, Australia. REALLY I AM. Although you really shouldn't be complaining. Y'all have koala bears and men who look like Russell Crowe walking around your streets. Bite me. I'm just MIFFED by your Supre store. MIFFED. 


Here are some samples of Supre's "Dresses."

And this nightmare... which doesn't look really bad until you realize that the shirt is see-thru and her tights are showing. Listen, Supre.  I know that water spins differently in your toilets and stuff down there, but seriously!? Seriously!?!

TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS!

Who looks good in this crap? The models don't even look good in this crap.

Crotch-adile Dundee

Yesterday's Aussie post was so fun, let's continue the bad jokes, shall we? I've been informed of a really awful store in Australia called "Supre" which, in my opinion, is the worst thing to happen to Australia since the movie, "Australia." Anyway, Everyone remembers this scene brought to you by the legendary Paul Hogan:

Dear Supre:
This isn't a dress.

THIS is a dress.

Cue bad 80's music soundtrack. ANNNNNNND scene.
