You may remember my post from last week about the cool and (in my opinion) kinda fugly leggings I’ve seen sold on line.
Well, that certainly got a lot of to either love or hate me but I’m will to go at this again and give you the best and worst t-shirts I’ve seen sold online.
Remember, I’m not Anna Wintour and I never claim to have an sense of fashion whatsoever! These are just opinions and if you like the selections on my “fugly” list, stop being so sensitive! Like what I think is fugly should not be an insult.
In fact, its probably a compliment.
Anyhow, let’s examine the worst:
1) “Put Your Heads Together”
This shirt is from Modcloth (notorious for the unicorn leggings from my previous post). What bothers me most here is the not so much the skull, but the fact that its on the boob region. It’s a blatant attempt to draw everyone’s attention to your breasts. And the skull just reminds my of the sign for poison. Like,
“Look at my tits! Their poisonous! Tee hee!”
Well, I prefer people assume my breasts are non-toxic so I think I’ll gladly pass on this.
2) Money Business
I guess this is supposed to be funny.
Look, I do some stand up so I think I have at least a little sense of humor. But I also don’t think clothes should be hilarious instead of you. And this isn’t even funny, this is just kinda freaky and scary. Its from ASOS (which I normally love) and I bet the designers sat in a brainstorming session and thought:
“Ugh, I’m SO bored of solid colors and lame stripes on T-shirts! Lets put a monkey on it! A white monkey! Oh and for shits and giggles, lets hypnotize him because who wants to see a plain old white monkey with normal eyes?! Yep. Let’s make his eyes all crazy and shit. This is going to be so hot!”
3) “X Ray”
As you could tell from my last post about the skeleton leggings, I’m not a fan of wearing bones (and yes, my history with anorexia has something to do with it).
Some readers left comments in the last post loving the skeleton leggings and like I said, its not personal I just don’t want my shirt to be an anatomy lesson and make me feel fat.
The Best
1) Double Cross
I actually bought this from Nasty Gal and I love it.
Its also super soft yet kinda sexy enough to wear out or when you want boys to look at you.
2) Draped Back
Obviously, I bought this shirt as well since that’s me in the picture wearing it (excuse me holding the phone, I took the picture in front of a mirror because I didn’t have a human to help me photograph myself).
It’s from the clothing site Tobi which tends to be inexpensive. Its both comfy and sexy and comes in a bunch of colors. I should warn that the material is very thin so don’t wear it by itself when it’s freezing. It is great for she summer though.
3) Ice Cold Shoulder
This top is also from Tobi. I have this in a different color and I always get compliments on it.
Its great for showing off your shoulder.
However, not so great for tanning. This must make for some pretty hilarious tan lines.
What cool things do you like for some added spunk when it comes to shirts? What was the worst shirt you’ve ever seen (or what was written on it)?

Oh man, I gotta check out this Tobi site, looks like good stuff.
I’ve been on a bit of a cutting-ou-sleeves-and-neckline-of-old-shirts to make rocker tees bender recently. Which look wicked sexy hanging off one shoulder. In theory. Although this LA “winter” weather isn’t letting me wear them…
Okay so I just spent about ten minutes on the Nastygal website trying to find that gorgeous black top so I can buy like twelve of them, but I can’t find it. Is it gone?
(I love these posts, Eden.)
So I did search too and I see its sold out. They do restock their clothes though so check back every few days. I had the same issue when I bought the garder belt leggings. But if you look under their “clothes” tab, and then the “back in stock” tab, you’ll probably find it on sale soon. It’s seriously such an awesome shirt that everyone already wants it.
Thank you!
Do you think NastyGal stuff fits true to size? I never know wtf size to order from online places.
The site does say “true to size” but check the measurements anyways. They’re good about listing exact measurements. To be honest, I’ve sometimes disregarded the measurements and I’m sorry I did.
I love the t-shirts from your “best” list! I think a lot of women would look great in them as well (you look hot in the second one girl). I am a little self-conscious about my back and upper body, so I usually just stick with plain crew-necks and not-too-deep v-necks in solid colors. I try to avoid t-shirts with writing unless they are band t-shirts or sports t-shirts. The only really funny t-shirt I’ve ever seen came from a bar and said “The Liver is Evil and Must Be Punished”. Ha!
Haha, that’s funny about the liver! I hate shirts with bold brands written all over them. If I’m your billboard, I better get paid.
Is it just me or does that last model’s head look too big for her body?? o_O
The worst shirts I’ve ever seen were from Rocky Point, Mexico. It’s a touristy fishing town that’s a popular Spring Break/let’s get shit-faced drunk location. There’s entire shops that sell shirts that say things like “Will f$%k for beer” etc etc. They’re pretty trashy if you ask me.
But the beaches are lovely! haha!
I have a shirt with a skull cut out of the back of it – It’s sexy!
I don’t know how to dress myself all cute like you and Daniela, I could REALLY use guidance. Mainly it’s because of ye olde hips if ya know what I mean.
