From Man Getter to Man Repeller, The Naked Dress

hahaha, love this! the naked dress 'as is' you can take any man to bed! =P but with a belt… very classy. i like! the end result however….

I'm not participating to your fabulous naked dress give away because I would never fit in it (you would really understand the meaning of "repeller" then ahaha)…

But I think that if you add a Borsalino hat and some dark nail polish to the last pic you're done, repelling full power. I would also change the glasses with some dark ones, like wayfarers or something like that. In my boyfriend's opinion they're super repelling but I love them (of course…)

And if you really don't feel like wearing hats these windy winter days, add the all-time favourite top knot and we'll love you even more!

ahaha I loved this post!

Fantastic

I would wear it with these super opaque black tights (from Betsey Johnson … so they obviously have little flowers all over) and the Sam Edelman Zoe (because they're on their way to me, at last).
Then, I'd belt it with a neon yellow skinny belt because I just like it and use it all the time.
I'd put on a tan, suede jacket that has huge shoulder pads … when my friends are tired and I'm wearing that jacket, they use it as a pillow.
And as far as accessories go, I'd use my Alessi Look No Hands! watch by Ron Arad because I love it (<3), my parrot ring, my little-people-fornicating ring and some other swirly ring.

PS. obviously, if it's cold (because the weather here is simply stupid), I'd wear off-white leather gloves. yayy hahahha

I would Canadian winter-ize this outfit to make it man-repellent. First, put on some long johns and then over that some thick cozy track pants under the dress. Put on some wool socks, and then some water-repellent, walk-anywhere Sorel boots. Cover up your top with a comfy hoody sweater and zip up (it's cold out there!) and then of course, thick knee-length (or floor length!) parka, scarf, mittens, toque. It'll be so man repellent they may not even realize you are a woman, and you can safely walk outdoors in the winter prepared for the elements! Because practicality is the most man-repellent of them all! (ie. birkenstocks, hiking shoes, track pants, etc)

the miu miu pumps are fabulous.. I think the nude dress speaks for itself in the first photo and doesnt need anything else

Haha, your posts make me laugh so much!

Love how you're definitely repelled the boys from the tiny little dress to layers.. yes layers = weapon of mass great repelling
I would take the dress and find a huge leopard print fur jacket (Carrie B inspired) and wear it over the top.
Some black suede wedge lace ups, opaque tights & a nice little turban! Not sure of the colour but something insane for sure.

To really repel a man I'd wear a pair of furry leggings under that naked dress. You probably wouldn't need more than that– the illusion of a hot naked chick with yeti legs is probably enough to turn most guys off– but for s**ts & giggles I'd add a super-hipster-y-Cosby-Sweater/Grandpa Cardigan and clogs. When I say clogs, I of course mean clogs with wedge heels so it looks like you're clomping around on some kind of hooves like a satyr with your hairy legs. As further tribute to Carrie Bradshaw I'd top it off with a tiny hat, like the one that Berger called ridiculous because we know that turns men off for sure.

I don't even want the dress. This game is fun.

(P.S. Birth Control Glasses?! I am dying.)

so great!

I love each piece and how you have put this together! However I am by no means a manrepeller. I love my bf too dearly to scare him more than I already do with my fashion choices. Keep it up.

I would pair the dress with the bone leggings seen here http://shop.blackmilkclothing.com/product/leg-bones

Because as I walk up to a potential man friend, I want my date to get the same view of me as airport security. The naked dress just screams, "I've got nothing to hide." However, as an extreme man repeller going on a date, I'm sure he'd also like the leggings that scream, "I'm not hiding a box cutter in my vaga-ga, but i understand that you may want to make sure by x-raying me"

This of course would have to be paired with a cane, bow tie, and top hat. Nothing makes a ween deflate faster than the idea of dating a skeleton doing the charleston. I love me a good theme, and the black kohl eye liner and exceptionally high cheek bones thanks to my extra application of blush can enforce the skeletal appearance.

I love your writing. Seriously. I wish I had been gifted with your humor! My boyfriend LOVES your blog because he feels like I have "finally found a reasonable voice". Haha. And I love it because, girl, you WEAR it! So see, it's perfect.

If I had this dress, I would first add some creme lace tights (since it's cold out). I would then add a pair of grey/creme socks I got from UO. On top of my sock would be my beloved black Litas (I still haven't found a single man who thinks they are sexy). I'd add a black belt to cinch the waist, and I would top the look off with a terrible cropped faux-fur coat that my Aunt got me at a flea market 2 years ago (it looks like a dead tiger). To add to the repelling power, I would layer at least 3 watches on my wrist, and add some gaudy rings. Beautiful, no?

I'd rock the nude dress with a fur vest, a couple (or more?) of skinny belts around the my waist (over the vest of course!) opaque tights w/ bright mesh tights over top, and platform wedge ankle boots!

Genuinely life changing. That belt does wonders, as does that sock and shoe combo.

A sexy nude number? There is only one thing that can save it from eliciting lascivious thoughts among those of the male persuasion: a hearty dose of the macabre. Well, and of course animal prints.

I would throw some Aurelie Biderman accessories over that bad boy. I’m partial to the severed hand necklace and giant studded cuffs. Add a crucifix or two. And maybe a skull ring (or, even better, an animal skull ring.) Cause nothing cause a general southern trend in the trousers of surrounding menfolk like being into death AND Jesus.

Under the dress let’s add some awesome leopard print leggings from blackmilkclothing.com, paired with some patterned socks. Preferably patterned with cats. Because, for real, death, Jesus and CATS. Might as well be wearing metal underwear. Complete the legs with some geisha-esque wooden wedges (a la Jeffrey Campbell’s 6” architectural wedges) and we have (no) liftoff.

Add a cropped jacket of…wait for it…animal texture. How about a little alligator. In a pleasing dark green. With shoulder padding of course. And to top it all off, one would, of course, need a hat of the kind of substance as to not be overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the rest of the ensemble. A hat with the kind of shape and restrained grandeur that would make Indiana Jones weep at its beauty.

I might also throw on some leather gloves. Y'know, if the mood struck me.

Katia Heinzman
k.m.heinzman@gmail.com

yes, I remember this dress and you should remember when you put it on without accessorizes your night would be very excited:))like Carry's night of course:))

I would throw on my giant ruffle that's like a vest/bolero hybrid because you know nothing shuts down a peen as effectively as looking like Victorian English royalty. Since it's still cold here I'd layer some tights, socks, and clunky boots.

futurelint(at)gmail(dot)com

Would wear with high gray socks and my Chloe ankle boots with horseshoes on the bottom…which my brother tells me are "baby deer shoes" because they make me walk like a wobbly deer on ice and I have huge giant feet with matchstick legs.

+ mink vest + long sleeve collared shirt

I'd wear this lovely dress with my brown Deena & Ozzy leather harness boots, thick gray J.Crew camp socks (scrunched), my cream Frenchi cardigan with sides that go down past my knees, and a very large snood scarf in some fabulous print just to ward off even the slightest implication of "the goodies."

How to turn a naked dress into a man repeller? Easy peasy!
Add a chunky beige sailor sweater (to lose the feminine and man attracting silhouette.) and roll up the sleeves
Then add a belt, well why not two? Who said leopard print? Well yes, lets add a pony haired leopard print and another one, let's say snakeskin textured. Hurray, we man repellers love textures and mixing thousends of prints, lets make those weeners go far far away.
Throw on some fur, the bigger, the better and put on a masculine fedora, add birth-control glasses if wished.
But we still need something repelling…what could be the finishing touch? Some ankle-high socks and man house slipper inspired shoes (as seen in Tom Ford).
And voilà, from man getter to man repeller in just a few tiny steps, why are you not repelling yet?

If i had it, i'd wear it with my ridiculously long pearl necklace (one part around the neck and the second one reaching to my waist- my bf always tries to make me wear sth else saying its ugly beyond belief – oh, bummer. Under the dress, just to confuse the heck out of male species I'd wear a thin black sweater that covers my neck. To add some weaponery i;d add some spiked black turban and some spiked frotte on my left wrist ( oh yeah I/ve forgot to mention my delicate vintage silver watch on the other). I'd topped it off with black opaque tights and some lovely black Nine West's hybride between 3inch wedge and super chunky heel (my mediocre height of 5 ft 6 + 3 inch heel intimidates men in here, dunno why.) Then i'd need just oversized vintage clutch and I'm ready to rumble!

I'd guess that not only my size 6-8 ass would never ever it into your dress, but also you wouldn't ship it internationally. Agh, sigh. Im leaving my mail just in case, but the creativity of it was a reward in itself. rusted [@]o2.pl

Btw my bf says that only ur glasses are hideous and you look kinda hot – that he can see your lovely long and slender legs and just adores those shoes. He's turning into a perfect women! He even knows who Lacroix is (not to mention Karl Lagerfeld obviously)

I feel like this dress could be the foundation for a study in manrepelling in neutrals. I'd throw on a pair of leopard leggings (what, tan and brown isn't neutral?), a hip-grazing grandpa vest in grey or black, and my favorite cropped fringed leather jacket with strong shoulders. Because I'm still in the throes of winter and even socks-with-sandals make me feel cold, we go to the manrepeller of all boots, over-the-knee, not fitted, slouchy black leather flats. Don't forget the giant tote made of faux fur, gargantuan sculptural rings, or the top knot on top … although my Jewgirl curly hair makes it rather *not,* so my alternate hairstyle is down (frizzy, because that's my hair's natural state) with a big white Alice bow on top…who doesn't like Alice? Time for tea!

To turn this stiffie-stimulating frock into a wiener-wilting one, I would start by adding grey cable knit tights, wool socks and wedge sandals. Then I would throw on a leather harness and cropped printed sweater. Top it all off with a slouchy knit hat, bright red lipstick and my ysl arty oval ring (these two final items REALLY wilt my man friend's wiener), and voila! I am alienating an entire gender!

Amy Blaxland
amiblaxland@gmail.com

let me paint you a picture:
To the base ofthe naked dress, for, say, a casual brunch, I would add:
a hot pink satin robe thing with huge padded puff sleeves, white pleather belt with huge gold rings that clink together with every movement, green polka dotted socks layered under some bondage reminiscent wedges, and (lest I forget to add yet another texture to this veritable stew of 80's eccentricity), a cropped faux leopard vest. Add a modest dash of accesories (I think I'd go with my gold cuff printed with angry lions, a big honking cocktail ring with a real scarab beatle encased inside, and a necklace that looks more like a breastplate) and voila! even my platonic man friends probably wont come near me. Guess that brunch will just be me and my Simon Doonan book after all…

Perfection.

I would add nude tights, an oversized cable-knit cardigan, keep the glasses and socks, switch the heels for loafers, and add a tapestry bag. What is more man repelling than a grandma wandering around with her slip-esque nude dress flapping in the wind? Add a hoard of cats for good measure.

To turn this into a man-repeller, i think i would add a nice lumber-jack plaid, topped with a boyfriend blazer over that… then for sure stirrup leggings to cover up them legs. Tan oxfords for shoes with some grey socks. Lastly, i would either put a turban on my head-add some chunky cool necklaces..or better yet BOTH.

Easy peasy. Throw on my go-to gray knit Club Monaco sweater, some repellingly thick Wolford tights and the Frye engineers that make me look like a biker gone horrifically wrong. Throw on an old Prada turban, my chastity glasses and voila, man: repelled!

I would make the men flee by first pairing the dress with Doc Marten's, which equals instant confusion for those paired with the XY chromosomes. I would wear my red lace-fishnet red tights that I procured from the glory of Costa Blanca, also known as man repelling central for the poor. I would wear my hair in a top knot and throw on some gold hoops and a gold belt, using the light rays to further keep men away from me. I would then end it all by throwing on a grey hoodie and my Mackage leather jacket. This look can be classified as 90s grunge/ghetto hip hopper chic. We don't need men to procreate! That's what we created sperm banks for!

First, add chambray shirt, belted with a skinny black double wrap belt. Then, add black tights and black clog boots! YES – clog boots. Layer a silver chain necklace with safety pins embedded in it. Then wrap a silk blue/pink/grey pucci scarf around my head as a headband. Finally, it's cold in New York, so throw on top of the whole ensemble a fur trimmed military style parka and add the Alexander Wang studded leather satchel.

I would layer an extra long sleeved white C&C; thinnest cotton tee under the dress, so the fabric is all bunchy at my wrists, wear it over a pair of great fitting MEN's vintage Levis 501s (I love how the bigger crotch area fits on me (or doesn't fit, depending on your point of view- I assume a man catcher girl would nix these), cuff the 501s, and wear my Pierre Hardy for Gap wooden platforms with any one of my pairs of Antipast socks. (If you don't know Antipast, the easiest place to get them is at Barneys, but since they have begun their makeover, they are now tucked away on the 6th floor in the lingerie dept.) I have a borderline addiction to these socks- once you start with them, no others will do. And they have a vast collection of wooly ones, all the better to do the socks with sandals thing.) Over it all I would layer my gunmetal grey cobwebby mohair Margiela capelike slouchy sweater which has 3/4 sort of sleeves (it's capelike). This seems like a good time to break out my black silk Prada turban from several springs ago, which I have yet to wear. I occasionally wear glasses for distance and reading, so I would wear my tortoise shell Moscots (sorry Warby Parker, I had these before you launched). I may or may not wear my collection of Victorian jet bead necklaces, but that may be a good touch. And my Hermes watch with my collier de chien bracelet in black. The metal on these is silver tone.

I love the socks with the leopard! And the nude dress is adorable! I love how you mixed things up!

nothing repels my husband of 10 years like multiple layers of my handknit items. i'd wear grey cabled tights, with my big chunky charli clogs, and a big grey, turquoise, orange, and black shapeless native american sweater. for a necklace, i have a vintage gold owl pendant, a charm bracelet with different us states. oh, and to top it off, a big black slouchy knitted hat, gold feather earrings, my house of harlow turquoise locket ring, and giant sunglasses.

Love your blog and am so happy I found it. Great humorous break from the monotony!

http://nycfashionista1.blogspot.com/

Well, first things first, that dress is far too short for my man-repelling tastes, so I'd have to layer a nice, ankle length pleated skirt over the top.

Then, because no unbelted outfit is complete, I'd add a nice wide waist belt. With lots of bling. Possibly a few dagger-brooches pinned on?

For my feet, fairisle print tights and ridiculously tall hiker boots.

Top all that off with faux-Gorilla-fur jacket a la Urban Outfitters, and a studded turband for good measure.

All this accomplished, your Man-getting days will be long over. Repel with pride.

What would I do with this dress?
The question should be, what *wouldn't* I do with this dress.

Step one, and always the first step, throw on a lovely American Apparel bra under that sucker. Just for shits and giggles.

Step two, aquire disgustingly pastel, flower-printed tights, maybe a lace crinoline, and… Oh, joy of joys! Gray lace up wedges.

Step three, add a wide-ass gray belt. This might give the illusion of a girly waist buuuuuuut-

Step four (and my favorite part) throw on my denim button up, aquipped with zippers on the back (That do absolutely nothing but look kickass)
and then, as a final touch, add a fuzzy-wuzzy white vest.

Step five, because my hair refuses to be controlled by a topknot, rocking the fishtail. Top that off with the prerequisite birth control glasses and VOILA!

Picture in my head=Lady boner-inducing. Love you.

I love your blog and you're hilarious but I think your main concept is a little flawed. Yes, what goes down the runway is often too over the top and rarely form-fitting or even remotely flattering, but runway shows are supposed to be a bit exaggerated. They should be shocking and provocative but in the end they just emphasize a concept, they're not meant to be taken literally.

Hence, I think you're taking the easy path by claiming high fashion is simply man-repelling. It's easy to throw on a few bold pieces and declare your sex life a victim of fashion, what's actually challenging is finding a balance between being fashionable and still looking attractive at the same time. Of course just like in fashion, taking a concept to the extreme is what makes you stand out, and that's why your blog works. But in real life, the real winners are those who can do both

OBVIOUSLY all leopard all the time.
leopard swing coat, leopard pimp hat, leopard ankle boots, and chihuahua print socks from petco (thought i was going to say leopard print, didn't cha?) k.i.s.s. keep it simple susan.
susanmarrwilliamson@gmail.com

caticagomita@hotmail.com

Add black patent spike-studded oxfords (I mean, spermintolerant shoes + heavy artillery all in one!?) proceed with furry dark green vest and peacock feather print scarf as a turban- my only "procreation" potential is now resembling mother nature . Add tie-necklace (gets the weird dissaproving stares every time, from dudes only of course!) some serious stack of lucite bangles and a rainbow manicure: that shit gets the machos running. In the opposite direction of course. Oh, did I mention the ponyhair red leopard print belt and purple fingerless gloves? x

The two year old boy attached to my hip is the best man repeller accessory ever.

I consider myself somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to style so I would only add two things to this dress to perfect it's man repelling capabilities. 1) A cross necklace because what man wants to find God when he's searching for tits. 2) My mini me man repeller aka my daughter. If the cross doesn't work a small child demanding constant attention is known to defeat the most persistent suitors.

Next month I'm going to the horse races aka boner central and not those pleasent lady boners we all love. And this dress would be to die for.

Step 1: White button up long sleeve shirt (preferably mens)and uber stunning dress over the top

Step 2: Check Ralph Lauren bow tie the bigger the better

Step 3: Striped clown blazer minus the ruffles which also helps the single status

Step 4: Vintage glomesh white clutch

Step 5: Khaki ankle boots with luxe herringbone socks

Step 6: Top knot for added non sex appeal

Recipe:
Add gray tights and black wedge booties. [Remember those studded Jeffrey Campbell Tick booties from a season or two ago? Those. In black. It's hard to repel-up a mini skirt but those booties do it well. Magical.]

Toss in a long-sleeved American Apparel t-shirt underneath it.
Wrap it all up in a big, loopy scarf. Leopard print? Stripes, maybe? Zebra? Yes, that's it. Zebra.

Sans belt, please. No need to see my dainty waist.

Garnish with a bunch of H&M; bangle bracelets and some big earrings. Something spiky or feathery. mhmm.

Top with dark birth control glasses (I've been sporting them since 2004.)

Done!

Hi kimberly!

i would definitely take the first outfit and add a giant fur coat–ranging from topshop to the russian sable fur coat by dior, add some red wine lipstick with oversized sunnies preferably by karen walker, and replace the shoes with ankle strapped heels either by prada but nina ricci would be even better!

thanks for the contest!

This dress just has so much potential! First things first – I would definitely add a fur collar. From there, your one belt is nice, but I think 2 more would really do the trick. Then I would add knee socks, combat boots and oversized sunglasses. I don't want anyone to see my eyes! To keep it classy – just add a temple topper. Voila!

Jessica
jessica1214@gmail.com

usually i might prefer a naked jumpsuit that i could embellish with my bejeweller gun salvaged from a 99% off bin at joanne's fabric (a la britney in the toxic vid) but a naked dress would do.

especially because the gun is getting lonely. after my denim vest, le sport sac backpack, tube socks, tee shirts and even (dare i say it) a pair of pleather shorts have been turned into sparkling repellers of men (and my mother)… it's time it give it something a little higher class to work with.

Stephanie, livingthelifeonabudget@gmail.com
I would add a long skirt under and and oversixed cardi and a million necklaces

I actually tried on this outfit last night using a pink slip in place of the naked dress, just to be sure of its repelling power:

First, I'd start with the cropped sweater I just bought at H&M; — did I mention that it is a beautiful shade of burnt orange ("wtf is that?", my man friend proclaimed when I brought it to the register). I'd also pull on some silvery-black leggings, preferably with some sort of subtle snake skin print on them. Then, I'd layer my big ol' faux fur vest over the sweater, to be sure that any semblance of womanly figure was thoroughly disfigured. I'd probably slap on this random chunky wooden necklace that I have, because at this point there is no point in trying to be dainty with jewelry — or anything else for that matter. Next I'd lace up my awesome pair of cracked metallic oxford flats ("clown shoes", as man friend lovingly calls them), and top it all off with a wide-brimmed floppy felt hat which will obscure most of the face, repelling even those few men who give a shit about seeing the face. Et voila, the perfect Man Repelling ensemble!

OK so first, I would put a long sleeve black floral shirt UNDER this dress. The dress is a little low cut don't you think? I need to Mormonize it up. The shirt would definitely have to have a high neck as well, like mock turtleneck height.
In the winter, my next step would be a faux fur vest, something nice and shaggy. Tights would be a must as well, I think my favorite argyle patterned ones would work well. While I love your choice of socked sandal, I think I would wear my black granny boots with their pointy/square granny toes.
I would finish the look with my three-finger brass knuckle ring and snake earrings, because I love dangerous weapon jewelry, but I also love me some dangerous animal jewelry.

Now for the spring, I would replace the fur vest with a denim vest. I would also replace the tights and granny boots with some leopard wedge boots.

Both winter and spring outfits would be completed with a crazy high top knot and some blackberry colored lips.

Um… I forgot name and my e-mail… Rachel, raecaldas@hotmail.com

This blog has become the highlight of my workday!

I'd kick this dress up a notch with thick scrunched heather gray cable knit socks under dark green, maybe velvet? platform sandals. Men never appreciate a good green shoe. Thin sailor-stripe long-sleeved tissue tee underneath the dress (what goes better with vertical lines than horizontal stripes?) and chunky gray open sweater vest over the dress. Thick brown leather belt to cinch it all in. Finish it off with loads of painted floral wooden bangles and a wooden tribal bib-like necklace, because nothing repells wood… like wood. (and folk art)
bam.

You are hilarious. I have a serious addiction to your blog.

As for your challenge…

The first thing I would do would be pair this darling dress with some kind of "chastity-like" thick belt, preferably black with gold studs. Not the cute little ones, but sharp ones. It would toughen up this little number perfectly, while subsequently giving off the message of "Look, don't touch or you WILL get hurt. Literally." But of course we can't stop there.

Grab the closest fur vest you can get your paws on (pun intended), because you need to stay warm on those chilly nights. Motto for this outfit: the bigger, the boxier, the BETTER. Next pull on your high-thigh stockings. Not the sexy black ones, I'm thinking more electric blue or emerald green. As for shoes, well that's easy. They must be black (with gold accents to "match" the belt in a sense. duh.) lace-up above-the-ankle boots that look like a cross between a hiking boot and chunky sky-high heel. Any fur on this shoe is just a plus.

We can't forget the jewels! Since we're channeling Carrie Bradshaw aka Queen Repeller (yet somehow managed to snag Big, but whatever), we have to take some notes from her- Remember the millions of tiny gold bracelets she had stacked up her arm at her rehearsal dinner? Well I think that would be the perfect addition. So you're constantly making a racket by clinging and clanging with every move you make. Even if it is just to pick up your cosmo. (Can you say audio-repelling?) Perfect.

Now slick your hair back into the tightest pony tail possible (because we all want the back of our heads to resemble a horses rear end), add some giant gold chandelier earrings, and ladies don't expect to be hit on for the next oh 48 hours or so. (The men are gonna need some time to recover).

Hope you enjoyed this little rant!

kathrynhcunningham@gmail.com

I would add a mongolian scarf with big black satin bow around neck – MAJOR REPELLING. Black tights and sky high Alejandro Ingelmo stripper platforms. For the last touches, hot pink polish and lips. Possibly super winged out liner.

A-duh. I would repel men in this dress with relish. Actual relish would also work, but I'd go with my vintage (Nana's) suede fringe boots, DIY light blue miu-miu collar (made from an old men's shirt with iron-on applique), thick gold rope belt, a frayed denim vest and the proverbial cherry on top– hair in the top-knotiest of top-knots. Mucho leather/gold jewelry and aviators (mainstream shoutout).

Mackenzie
Mlbrilling@gmail.com

hahaha pure perfection! You are hilarious!
I would wear it with my beloved green lace edging ankle socks (I have them since I was like ten), beige oxford shoes, camouflage printed and short sleeves parka, leopard pinted belt, little beige leather shoulder bag and voila! My very own argentine version of a man repeller outfit with the naked dress…

A literal armor of man repellent accessories is where I would start. My fave Carmelita Couture woven metal armor piece would hide any hint of lady bits and get the man repelling started. Just in case a man is still intrigued by my individuality I'll add to the medieval cock block with a few hinged armor/claw rings.

To shield my legs from a disastrous man magnet moment I would throw on a pair of sheer panneled leggings in black. Even with the sheer panels my man repelling armor is in full force and will only become heightened by these "could have been man getting but were styled by a man repeller "leggings.

And to finish off the look would be by a pair of leopard print Giuseppe Zanotti platform wedges. It would be my only cat-call of the night but would make a loud statement whilst in a sea of man getters.

So maybe I'll be thrown to the back of the bar and be forced to buy my own drinks, but it would be worth it to stand up for man repellers everywhere!

Well my first order of business would be adding a nice layer of black tights, can't have too much skin to show. And adding to that, a short grey sock to pair nicely with some clunky heeled nuetral colored shoes. One must not add to much color or look to shiny, must keep to the basics. I would then pair with an oversized men's blazer in some form of nuetral/brown tweed – the kind that voids a women's natural shape. Clearly finishing it all off with oversized frames, an awesome top-bun, extra blunt bangs, too many chunky rings and an extra-heavy purse in which I will never locate my ringing cell phone!
Sounds ideal to me!!

wearingareindeerjumper@gmail.com

haha this is hilarious, and the dress is awesome

so here is my exceedingly evil plan to burn the retinas of men everywhere:
1.)don a pair of dark grey tights
2.)don some crazy-ass, patterned black tights
3.)nullify the girly feel of the dress with a full, mid-calf skirt. make sure that said skirt reveals not a hint of your leg. though it may be encased in odd legwar, your leg is still a leg
4.)skin a furry leopard and drape it around your neck. or, if fur just isn't for you, throw on some crazy fur. everyone's doing it. just ask miuccia. [< --shameless (ok somewhat shameful) name drop]
5.)if you are still not satisfied with the utter fabulousness that is your current outfit, feel free to add jewelry that resembles fruit, birds, or violent weaponry.
6.)plop a top knot on your head, swipe on some red lipstick, et voila

Why not add some bright orange Hunter boots, to really set off the nudity of the dress? And a fuzzy shawl to embrace my inner Gramma.

Let's be serious.

If one wants to achieve the man chaser-cum-catcher effect, one must style it as though she just came from having sex. The Kimberly Taylor nudey dress and I are rockin:

- a jet-black cropped leather bomber jacket for the "Walk of Shame/Fame" home
- hosiery, not tights, with more runs than the Yankees
- his socks stuff in my peep-toe loubitans (my tootsies were cold last night)
- a stack of flea market bangles 6 inches high on each wrist
- hair in a lop-sided ponytail that says, "Yes. It's noon, and I just woke up. STFU"
- a clean face with leftover plum eyeliner smudges and a nudey gloss that matches the nudey dress
- nothing underneath. gotta go commando under the nudey dress. two birds with one stone…
- Eau du "I JUST HAD SEX. REPEL THIS."

To turn this into man predator I would wear my back Alexander McQueen boots (which i've been told i look "intimidating" in) with rainbow socks peeking out above black and grey houndstooth tights.

A red lace turtleneck underneath. An asymmetric Alice + Olivia cardigan (the dudes dig asymmetry) on top. Hermes scarf on top of all this.
Silver knuckles and dangly silver earings. yay shinies.
A Chanel bag to finnish (< --- they see me rollin' they hatin' / bitch move)

Optional mustache drawn in eyeliner. The men-peoples won't know what hit them… or didn't hit them.

My boyfriend, who doesn't go to the same university as me, actually prefers it when I dress in a way that repulses other straight men. I don't think he has anything to worry about; guys don't spare me a second chance when they see what I'm wearing.

Inspiration: my repressed childhood manifests itself in bright colors and clashing patterns.

I'd wear this dress with:
Polka dot cable-knit knee highs from Target
Beige oxfords, because heels+classes across campus do not bode well for my ankles
Bright pink long-sleeve henley underneath
Sisley knit midriff sweater with giant crocheted bell sleeves. This sweater won the dubious award of "most awkward" at an ugly sweater party…
Dad's vintage ski jacket from the 80's, complete with popped collar
Long bronze-metaled earrings that resemble fish dangling from my earlobes
Glasses (not the hipster-y fake kind, I'm legitimately vision-impaired)
Haphazardly gathered side bun

and to top it all off? some purple lipstick. Go big or go home.

Thanks for reading this, I really do admire your tenacity and perseverance at this art of man-repelling!

hmmmm

what would I do…

well,
I would probably start by putting on a pair of purple/frilly mary-jane like, cream coloured socks paried with the black classic Marni peep-toe wedge! I would then continue by adding a cozy knit sweater, followed by a black long burberry peacoat and a dries van noten leopard/furry scarf (maybe – haven't fully decided). Then, I would add my chunky gold swatch watch and throw my hair up into a loose messy bun. I would finalize by putting on some thin gold bangles and perhaps a ring or two!

I'd start out stying my hair into a combo Snooki poof with something like a top knot bun (it sounds impossible, but I've pulled it off before), slapping on the contraceptive eye glasses that my mother wore when she was a nun, and now wants me to wear; they are roundish with green striped tint on the frames. To wear under the dress, I have a black satin blouse with long bell shaped sleeves, cuffs tight around the wrist, and a collar so high and prim around the neck that would make Anthony Comstock and his Vice Laws of the Victorian times proud-and to make it even better, it has strips of material attached to tie into a big bow at the neck, or fashion into a masculine tie. Too constrast the somber coloring of the dress and top, I'd wear tights in some obscenely bright color, preferably with a print that could have been the creation of an artist on a cocaine binge whose artistic inspirations are are weird combo of Dali and Bosch. To take a page from Taylor Swift, I have a pair of heavy black leather boots with a 3 inch thick heel that I'd wear with the dress; a stark contrast of delicacy and biker babe. To finish it off, I'd pull on a reddish-brown rabbit fur coat, and put on the obnoxiously large and long crystal chandelier earrings that I only bought for to wear in a musical production

I'm a big fan of naked dresses and I would love to see one in my closet. Hair in a tight bun, add a black jacket with blue feathers and what look like real cat tails. A pair of printed black tights and nude heels should finish off the look!

I only recently found your blog… and I find it so inspiring it has begun to scare my boyfriend! For this dress:
I'd have my long hair in a glorious top knot, framed with a turban, preferably leopard print, to keep the ears warm.
Next, I'd layer a fair isle print thermal under the dress, and a cropped, short sleeve giant cowl neck sweater over it. I can't tell you how many times a man has asked me, "why bother wearing a sweater if it has no sleeves?" The answer, of course, is that it is most important to keep your vital organs warm!
On the bottom, I'd throw on a pair of leopard tights under a pair of black faux leather snakeskin leggings. On my feet would be platform peep toe lace up booties, because men don't understand "the point" of wearing a boot with no toe and a giant heel, especially when there is snow on the ground. That is why I'm wearing tights, and taking baby steps when I can't jump between ice-free patches of sidewalk, duh.
To top it all off, I'd go for a vintage cape, because when I got caught eyeing one on eBay, my boyfriend immediately said, "Are you a superhero? Do you fly around beating up bad guys at night?" It was immaculately huge with an equally huge fur collar, pure heaven, but I lost the auction (the hunt continues).
Finishing touches are an assortment of two-finger rings shaped like various weaponry and joint rings that look like suits of armor for my little fingers.

Thanks this is so much fun!

My style is a lot simpler than yours, but equally as man-repelling.

Take 1 nude dress and add a fluorescent pair of orange skinny pants, then layer a fur drop-waist vest cinched with a yellow belt. Top it off with a turquoise chunky bead necklace and a pair of oxfords.

I would wear a sheer black maxi skirt under the nude dress to give it some layers, worn with the Jeffrey Campbell Litas – the pony hair litas, an oversized thrifted cardigan, unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled, thick knit preferred, a belt to cinch the waist, and a nice black hat a la Frou Frouu. I would also wear some old rosaries as necklaces.

doesn't matter how man-getter the entire outfit it, add socks and sandals like that… and you immediately become the sexual equivalent of a nun.

props.

i'm madly in love with this post. you obviously didn't repel me

i love how you showed the "typical" way to wear the dress but then how to make it more fun and cool and oh so unique.

obsessed. and thank you.

I'd use it as a slip for my wedding dress ;]
marissahopkins@tfc.edu

absolutely love this!

i love it! i really like the sweater with it. so i would probably do a little of that!
boon1211 at gmail dot com

Ok so I'm going to start off by saying I love this..
Anyway, how I would turn this into a man-repeller? Easy!
First, add a nice Betty Jackson black leather crop top, and then a vintage tasseled vest.
Then add a Ralph Lauren fur cape (this one right here http://www.stylebop.com/grafic/product/122/144/122324.jpg)
Some patterned tights, black socks and Elie Saab blue wedges.
Then a turban and some birth-control glasses and for the finishing touch some bright red lips.

Just for you here is a bit of a visual representation, seeing as I'm no good with words:
