Am I Wearing A Dress? The One Flowchart Every Woman Should Follow (PICTURE)

We've all been there before, and most often we don't realize until it's too late. No, I'm not talking about having food stuck in your teeth while giving an important presentation, I'm talking about falling victim to GLHD syndrome. For those who don't know, GLHD stands for "Girls Leaving the House Dressless," and it's become the downfall of thousands of women across the world.

But not to fear! From Lily Szajnberg and Keeli Davis comes the following lifesaving flowchart, based on Amy Sly's "Am I Wearing Pants?" infographic, another significant style quiz.

Together, we can help eradicate GLHD syndrome.

Let's burn some witches while we're at it.

I always remember an incident when I was in college. This girl, who had a good body, was wearing a very short skirt and no underwear as her behind was literally hanging out when she walked and the skirt kept riding up. A group of students just sat there and heckled and laughed at her.

Super yay! Don't wear it if it doesn't flatter you, either. Aside from the too short and the seethrough, there's the two-sizes-too small, what's up with that?

And if you're compelled to go really short, at least learn how to sit down in it without giving everyone on the subway a peep show, you're not resting on the bench in uniform at a volleyball or softball game.

Years ago my college floor mates and I were discussing what is the sexiest thing a woman can wear. The winner ... "My dress shirt... only my dress shirt."

Love the tube top comment. I saw three young women when I was out the other night and that is exactly what their dresses looked like. Extended tube tops that were creeping up their butts when ever they moved.

Almost like the pantyhose roll.

Two-faced tube tops will get you every time. Too funny!

On a girl with sufficient girl-age to hold one up a tube top is _always_ "two faced."
On other girls, it's an Ace bandage.

A flow chart? Not gonna happen. It gives me headache even looking at it, despite the cute commentary.

I like skirts and dresses. I mentally pick out a few different choices in the shower or before...then I start putting stuff on and taking stuff off until I feel comfortable--down to the jewelry. Sometimes I start with a certain necklace/and or earrings and work my way from there. It has to feel "right" for that day or night.

After all these years I've ended up an eclectic assortment--I like to be creative, look good, and feel comfortable.

Just glad I've never had to wear business suits.

Yeah, they suck...but they are a uniform that doesn't take much thought beyond accessories when you're stumbling around in the dark morning before dropping off the kids at school and commuting for a half hour.

LOL! Love it. I love dresses for the summertime especially since I don't wear shorts

LOL!!!
I will be posting this to my staff.
I posted "Am I wearing pants?"too.
Because some people need to be told and sent home.

Now that you are wearing a dress, find out how to ask for what you want on my HP column.

Love this. So over the pretending-a-shirt-is-a-dress thing.

But I've always loved dresses because they are simple, no?

She's not speaking against dresses, only clarifying what constitutes an actual dress.

If you are living in Utah, you can now be arrested for even appearing to look like a hooker. So there's another checkpoint. Look in the mirror, and ask yourself, "Am I advertising it?" If the answer is yes, then it's probably not a dress to wear to church.

lol! You should stand outside of a high school and hand out pamphlets to the girls walking in and out...I swear to God! my mother would have never let me out of the house dressed like the way teenaged girls go to school these days, not to mention parties or other things..

I know right! I drop my sister of to school sometimes and it's a wonder these girls are allowed to dress the way they do! It's like they're competing to see how can wear the least amount and tightest clothes
