Wear or Die: Shirt Dresses
It’s been a long time since we last played Wear or Die – the game where everyone’s a loser – so we thought it was high time we forced our readers to choose between two ugly items of clothing again!
For this Wear or Die, we’re dipping our toes into the murky waters of the shirt dress: for yes, readers, the two items you see before you are, indeed, dresses, not just ugly shirts. We’ve given you the choice here between two very different styles: the down-and-out option A (£60 at Topshop) , or the frilly, new-romantic style of option B (£25 at Desire Clothing). We wouldn’t want to wear either of them, personally, but what if you HAD to wear one? What if you had to choose one of these dresses: or die?
That’s the choice that’s before you now readers, so tell us: which one do you choose?

Guest Post: Stella McCartney’s confusing lace jumpsuit
The Fashion Police have been feeling under the weather this week, so huge thanks to Lauren of A Typical Atypical for arresting this item for us!
Lauren writes:
I am a sometime fan of lace, and a sometime fan of jumpsuits, but only ever when they actually work. I won’t for example, love a jumpsuit purely because it clothes me head to toe and makes it difficult to go to the loo – but I will love it if the fabric is gorgeous and the fit sublime. Which, I have to say, is not the case with this Stella McCartney jumpsuit.
You may look at the pattern and notice how delicate it is, but I advise you not to. Instead, I draw your attention to the figure hugging skintight fit, to the fact that it looks like you are naked underneath. To the big waist belt that makes even the bum and hips of the mannequin look huge! Oh, and then to add insult to injury, they have made all the edges into big zigzags, meaning that people who wear this end up resembling a certain woodland pixie.
Not a good idea unless you like looking like a naked toilet roll holder, Stella McCartney charges £2,865 for these!

Handbag of the Week: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
We have a feeling this handbag will be a little controversial, because this bag? Is made out from old seatbelts. Yes, seatbelts. The kind you find in your car. We probably wouldn’t have guessed that was the case: it’s definitely much nicer than most recycled fashion items, and we bet it’s very hard wearing, too.
Would you want to carry around a bag made out of seatbelts, though? If you would, these come in a range of colours and styles: this one is $97.90 from Zappos.
