To the women of the world: A note sent on behalf of everyone around you October 21, 2007

Attention Women:

If you look in the mirror and you have to ask yourself for even one second, “Is this a shirt or a dress?”

Then it is always a shirt.

I know you really want it to be a dress. But if it were a dress, your ass cheeks wouldn’t be hanging out. Do us all a favor and put on some pants.

Thanks, 

Charming

P.S. I realize that us Southern Gals are all about dressing up for football games and tailgates. I, like you, wore a little knit dress and appropriately colored accessories (chunky beads) to celebrate on Saturday. But let me offer some friendly fashion advice. Please, for the love of all things good in this world, stop wearing four-inch stilettos to football games. You’re just going to twist an ankle. If you’re too good for a pair of flip flops, invest in ballet flats. (Seriously, it is almost November and it is still flip-flop and knit dress weather here. Cherish this blessing.)

Ha! Well put! At the game Saturday I saw two girls with just tights and football jerseys! The jerseys weren’t long and the tights weren’t thick…..and the girls weren’t thin either!

Amen! I am sick and tired of people wearing stilettos to football games - it is ridiculous! I hope they all read this. =)

phew, you just saved my dignity there. I was JUST about to go out in that shirt, without the pants. But pray tell - what of my skirt? If I think it might be a belt, should I discard that, too?

Wiscoblonde brings up a good point. Not only is there a time and place for certain articles of clothing, but an ideal body type as well. Dress your weight people! If your belly hangs over your belt, for gods sake don’t wear the babydoll tee that lets it all hang out!

LOL!
I LOVE THIS! I couldn’t agree with you more! I have seen MANY women walking around in a shirt, thinking it’s a dress! Even worse is when they choose to wear the shirt, as a dress, with heels! I say, if it is a shirt and you want to wear it as a tunic, say…..put some tight leggings on underneath!

As for the heels at the sporting events?

Amen, sister. Not only is not conducive for walking around, but they look like fools! It’s casual. Not like going to the Kentucky Derby or something!

Kentucky Derby not casual? Apparently someone’s never seen the infield crowd. X/
