Fashion Faux Pas

[Back]

So I get out of my car after succesfully getting to work early. My feet feel a little funny, I look down and... one black, one brown shoe.

Instinctually, horror was my first reaction. For a split second I wondered if I could make it home and back. No way. Then... hilarity. Even now, at my desk, just thinking about it makes me crack a grin.

Luckily, they are about the same tonal value, and texture, being soft leather. One is lace up, the other monk-strap. So far, not one person has noticed. It will be interesting to see who and if anyone does. I’m in a slightly giddy mood over the prospect. Its really made my day. I’d recommend it. :)

We’ll see how it turns out.

Describe your embarassing fashion blunders.

One time I wore one pink sock and one white sock to school. I didn't even notice. Someone pointed it out to me and I took them off right there and went sockless for the rest of the day.

Also...I've put my shirts on backwards or in-side-out and don't even notice until someone points it out to me. I COULD blame it on being a tired mommy, but I think I even did that before I had my daughter. :shrug: I think it's more from always being in a rush in the morning.

Rushing out the house without my bra on, is my horror story. I just had to go to the grocery store so it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I once wore a suit to work that had a hole in the crotch. I was walking around the office as if I had a stick shoved up my ass.

Thankfully, no one ever noticed.

My boss once cut my tie in half.. but that's a different story :)

[Caiylania]

Rushing from a nice lunch to the stable...... had changed clothes.

Realized I had put my nice sandals back on instead of riding boots. :P

[AnticorRifling]

I would notice.

When I interviewed at H&R Block a couple weeks ago, my first interview was 45 minutes... and as I wrapped up I glanced down and saw my zipper had been undone the whole time. I was interviewing with a woman, and was mortified... as she got up I put my notebook over my pants and held the door for her, then zipped up.

So I got the job... I don't THINK she noticed :)

She was so staring at the CACK.

I remember once I went out of my house and my shirt color didn't match my pants. I had to run in quickly to change.

Hmm which moment to divulge. I suppose the most recent, which would be about a week ago after partaking of drinks for labor day weekend.

Myself and two of my friends are casually (and a tad drunkenly) trudging home and, and as per usual we mock fight and push each other around and into various objects, such as trash cans, parked cars, mail boxes etcetera.
Long story short I get shoved into a chainlink fence and by some diabolical twist of fate, my right pant leg gets caught on a barbed piece of the damn fence and proceeds to almost completely remove all the cloth from my right leg.

Maybe you got the job because she did notice.

Guys look, girls can, too!

Once last winter I rushed out of the house with my pajama top on (actually an old t-shirt but definitely unfit to be worn at work). I had put on my bra and without thinking twice I threw on my winter coat. Fortunately I noticed when waiting in line at the coffee shop's drive thru and since the coffee shop, my house and my work are all within a couple miles of each other, I was able to go home and change and still be at work on time.

Only chodes and private sector employees worry about getting to work on time.

You really are a complete retard aren't you Arkans ...or are you just required to mock at least 10 people a day? :club:

One time in middle school I was wearing a long t-shirt (as was the style at the time) and a pair of shorts that were too short to be visible past the hem of the shirt while walking around. That got pretty awkward pretty fast.

[Sweets]

In high school I spilled something on the top I was wearing so I quickly changed before bolting out the door. Once I got to school I realized I have a navy blue bra on under a light yellow top. It wasn't stylish back then. I was mortified.

That happened to me but with boxers instead of shorts. I kind of wondered why anyone would be able to notice it in the locker room....

Definatly not thinking in the morning and wearing a dark colored bra with a light colored shirt ..And other days hinking you could care less if you look like shit for the day, then going out in public and starting to care.

[Back]

Well, made it through work and not one single person noticed. Or, if they did, didn’t say anything. Heh.

Now its school. Lucky its an art college so I can say, “Hey, its a statement about the duality of man and the dichotomy between the left and right brain yadda yadda...”

I may get out of this scot free. LOL

In high school, I did the classic tucking in of my skirt into my hose and walking around with my panties and butt showing. It only lasted five or so minutes before I realized what was going on, but five minutes can haunt you forever in high school. Since I was wearing cutesie Monday panties on a Thursday, I forever became the girl too stupid to remember what day it was.

[Shari]

Hehe, these are good.

Lets see, the worst ever happened to me in elementary school. I haven't had anything lately because I just don't think I give a shit anymore what people think about how I look.

Anyhow...I was wearing my FAAAAVORITE cut-off jean shorts in what had to be 5th grade or something. Only when I was in the bathroom on the toilet did I notice this HUGE hole in the ass, like not on the crack, but just down a bit from the back pocket so you could easily see my underwear. I was SO embarrassed I went around all day either sitting in a chair, or walking around with my hands clasped behind my back. I don't think anyone ever noticed.

Next worst...had to be later on, junior high. I forgot to wear a bra to school. I remember this, I was wearing a teal turtleneck and this sweater vest. (I know, I shudder now too). When I realized what had happened I kept the sweater thing on ALL DAY and sweated my goddamned ass off. Now I laugh because all I had back then were probably the equivalent of swollen ant bites.

Now most days I purposely don't wear a bra, cause those things can get damned uncomfortable, and it's just easier to wear those tanktops with the built-in shelf bra.

[Chyrain]

when i was in highschool, i wore this shortish skirt (i NEVER wore skirts or dresses to school. EVER) anyway, I walking to my car after school, and I guess I didn't notice, but my backpack had caught the edge of my skirt and had pulled it up so my ASS was in full view of not on the entire school, but the traffic jammed street one way arterial I was walking down to get to my car. I didn't notice until some kids drove by yelling something about London and France.

i'm such a :loser:

[Betheny]

I'm rarely mortified, cause I just don't care.

I have so many, but the most embarrassing was the elastic went out of my panties, they were bikini and just fell off. I was in college and it was on the way to a important exam, so I just stepped out, scooped them up (short skirt, so that in itself was tricky). I was so mortified that I had trouble concentrating BUT two guys who walking behind me also had the same concentration problem..heh.

Number 2..

The first time back to church after having a baby. I was in this a dress that was made of weird silky material, (only thing that would fit me at the time). Another baby in the congregation started crying and my milk let down, creating two huge wet spots on the front of my dress.

[Myshel]

Number 3

After my third child was born, my hubby and I decided to get married in the church, (our first was a civil ceremony). I was still in chubby mode from having babies and nursing them for 6 years. Being on the poor side, I searched and searched for a dress and finally found one. I primped and thought I looked pretty good. NOT.
A week later I got the pictures back and there I am in a too tight dress with 80's hair standing staight up, sweaty (I'm in florida and it was Sept.)with my makeup sliding down my face, my slip showing, a run in my nylons and a huge smear where one of my little ones used the hem of my dress for a tissue. I was so mortified when I saw that pic of me, I was depressed for a week. the funny thing is .. I really did think I had looked good, so I guess it is all in the atitude!

Ok, that got me hot. Thanks for uplifting my spirit and the pleasant daydreams this morning, Myshel.
