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.

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?

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.

Didgeridoo'nt wear this as a dress...

A loyal reader in Australia sent in this pic, aptly titled "Lingerie and Heels." Sounds like a bad cop duo.

"Oh G'day mate - Who are those shelias fighting crime on the streets of Sydney?"
"Oh, G'day mate as well - that's just Lingerie and Heels. Blah blah blah shrimp on the barbie."

Isn't my Australian awesome? I totally worked at an Outback Steakhouse for a summer in college. Anyway, back to this picture of a bunch of shelias (not fighting crime - more like committing crimes of fashion) skanking it out with their bums hanging out (wonder how you say "skanking out" in Aussie? Anyone?) I realize that not everyone in this Shirtordress Gang is participating in the debauchery, but we've got some contenders in there. Namely, Boobs McGee in the front row. Seriously, I can see down under. Ah, c'mon! You knew I was going to use that one.

I'm really glad her legs are crossed...

Also, I think I her shirt is see through. Classy.

Sexy Vs. Skanky: Black Shirtdress

What's hot? Wearing a long, belted, black shirtdress.

What's not? Wearing this ridiculous creation. As previously mentioned, lace tights aren't pants.

Get the look!

FTW Friday

Yes, you can wear a shirt as a dress? I really, really like this look. It's cute and fun - the shirt is long enough and the belt gives it a nice shape. Do you think this is a win?

Here they go again...

I don't think there is enough material to really constitute these as dresses, especially since they don't have backs either. 

They are just very very very short.

They also look as if they are in the middle of a girls on cars montage in a bad 80's hair band music video. In fact as I write this post, I'm listening to Quiet Riot for inspiration. True story. And I want to bang my head against the wall after seeing this picture. 

Short-tee Wants Bottles in the Club...

To be fair, it looks like her friend is wearing a lace top and lace booty shorts so what do we really expect? Birds of a feather...

I miss the Apple Bottom Jeans....boots with the fur...

Now Apple Bottom Jeans makes Shirt Dresses! I can't handle my excitement. Ugh. 

The whole club would DEFINITELY be looking at her when she hits the flo'....

WTF? I'm sexist?

Apparently, I'm a hateful bitch. And a sexist! And a dude! Um... even though I don't like to show it off in da club, I have a vagina. 

Anyway, back to the part about me not being a sexist. Here's a dude that looks like a total slut bucket.

I'm not sexist, see?! 

More slut bucket dudes.

Shirt or dress or Completely Appropriate for a Lap dance?

Girl needs some money so she can buy more shirts to wear as dresses!

*I had another picture where she was standing up and man was it was bad but now I can't find it. If you submitted this picture, please submit again!

Shirtordress FTW! And Disclaimer.

A disclaimer: I am not a hater. I don't want or need to bring people down. I do however find shirtordresses comical. Sorry. I make fun because it's funny. I don't do it because I feel the need to "put people in their place," I simply want to try to understand what makes someone leave the house without pants. Generally, shirtordresses don't give anyone - skinny, fat, athletic, etc - a good look. Some people can pull off this look, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone pull off an elegant and sexy look off in a shirtordress. Minidresses, yes, but not anything we'd be voting on here. At any rate, I think anyone can look and feel beautiful if they have the confidence from within and they certainly don't need to show off their lady bits to achieve that goal. So ladies, stop trying so hard. Save the overt sexiness for the bedroom. Leave a little mystery. With that said, I'm posting a shirtordress FTW today. 


I came across this blog entry detailing how to wear a shirtordress and was super impressed. Shocking, someone wearing shirtordresses the correct way. I think she did a great job, thoughts?

Who Wore it Worst?

This shirt, apparently, can be worn as both shirt AND dress. Or can it?

Get the look!

Shirt, Dress, or Garbage Bag?

Yay for more reader submissions! Said reader says this chick is a chronic offender and this is one of many (I hope said reader sends more!)

First off, so many questions! Why would someone wear a white garbage bag as a dress? Is the girl in black mini dress girl pregnant? Why did the one girl steal my grandma's tablecloth and what's she so damn pissed off about?

Maybe I should poll y'all on what brand you think it is. But I think it's obvious to us all that it is indeed a tall kitchen bag (probably unscented with convenient draw-string closure).



Now Crochet Bitch, give me back my grandma's tablecloth!

Please Finnish Your Outfit.

Shirtordress is international!

Yea I'm from Finland :--D And I don't think I'm the first "international" follower of your blog since it's been linked to lamebook :)

Let's learn some vocabulary, shall we?

Shirt = paita
Or = tai / vai
Mekko = skirt




So in Finnish, "Shirt or Dress" would be "Paita vai mekko?"
