Yea or Nay: Denim Skirtall, $25.00 at OldNavy.com

Hey, Old Navy,

I know that your parent company, Gap Inc., is struggling a bit financially, but that’s NO excuse to let kindergarteners design pieces for your stores. Skirtalls? Come on now. The last time I wore one of these I was still writing letters to Santa.

Now, I’m not saying that all skirtalls are bad. The teen shop dELiA*s has a cord version that would look adorable on a 13 year old. I suppose even this version (available in misses and plus sizes) could look half way decent over a black turtleneck and black tights. But there’s something about a Skirtall on a 25 year+ woman that just doesn’t seem right to me. I could be wrong, so I posed this question to you dear readers.....

Old Navy Skirtall? Yea or Nay?

NAY! Over the weekend my friend (2nd Grade Teacher) and I (Adult Reference Librarian) vowed never to wear skirtalls. We also never to wear sweaters with themes on them (like Christmas or Winter themes, Halloween, Valentine’s Day etc). Yuck.

I would say nay.  It’s more dowdy than anything.  It kind of look like a denim apron that escaped from the 80s.

NAY! NAY! NAY! The skirtall DOES NOT compliment a women’s body at all! Whether you’re petite or plus size. Skitalls should not be made for adult women. They should be worn by little girls in pigtails only!!!!

I vote NAY.

Also, why is it described as a strapless dress when it clearly has straps? A catalog writer messed up.

Nay.  I try to avoid clothes that give me the figure of Ms. Potato Head.

Absolutely NO WAY! Unless it’s part of a Halloween costume and you happen to be dressing up as a 5-year-old . . . .

NAY!!!! If you’re old enough to pick out your own clothes you should not wear things like that.

Oh dear god, NO! These things remind me of my second grade teacher, whom I adored, but who had little to no fashion sense.  Put the skirtall down and back away slowly.

Nay! Good grief, Old Navy. Please learn the distinction between children’s and women’s clothes.

NAY!!!! Nay all day!!!
This is the sort of thing that a misguided elementary school teacher might pair up with a holiday themed sweater and run the risk of scarring her pupils for life with.
The option shouldn’t even be available - in the wrong hands, this nightmare could actually become lethal.

Awful. Atrocious. Right up there with the belted jumpsuit from several seasons back.

Definitely a “no”! No skirtalls, overalls, or shortalls for adults. And no skorts either. I’m cringing at the thought.

NAY!!!  I’m a teacher and we still giggle about some elementary teachers who think they are cool (we call them jumpers) with a holiday turtleneck and white tights.  Down to all skirtalls!  Let’s not back track our fashion sense when we’ve come this far.

This is wrong on so many levels.  Only a woman hater would design this..horrible.

Looks like something Paris and Nicole would wear on The Simple Life.

I say NAY you fool! Why? Why subject women to this? It is hard enough finding clothes for the over 17-too old to be wearing clothes that are blinged out-too tight-too short-set. So why would one design such a frumpy outfit.  They should let ME design for the GAP, Inc.  I’ll make cute little outfits with teddy bears and butterflies on them!

Hell NAY!  WHAT WAS OLD NAVY THINKING?  I guess these types of designs are why their 4 quarter profits are in the toilet!

Ewww.... that’s a big old NO on the skirtall.  They think that it will be bought just because they put them on the shelves. 

This is why I hate the Gap.
