Still Chuckling
Posted by Diane Badden on 23 Apr 2010 | Posted in: Life After School, Teachers and Teaching
Yesterday was a blur—a great day, just a busy one. After a full day at work, I made a mad dash to be at the veterinarian’s office by six o’clock. Then, with pooch in tow, I zipped into the grocery store and a neighborhood hardware store, gassed up the car, and headed home. Why am I telling you all this? Ha! Well, at about nine o’clock I glanced in the mirror. My first thought was, “I don’t remember this top having such an unusual neckline.” But that wasn’t it at all. All day long I’d been wearing my top backward! Yep, you read that right—backward! I’m sure I’m not alone here in making a fashion flub. Have you arrived at school only to find yourself in an embarrassing fashion situation? We could all use a good chuckle at the end of a busy week!
Your fashion diva,
Diane

Thank you so much! I can’t remember the last time I’ve won something. So many choices of prizes…how will I ever pick one?
My sister and I lived together and I left in the morning about half an hour before she did. We each got a nice pair of knee high leather fashion boots. Yep, you guessed it. I arrived at school wearing one black boot (mine) and one brown boot (hers). As I changed into shoes for the day, I didn’t notice until it was time to put them on to go back home - the way I came, on the bus. So there I was, on that cold, blustery day, trudging through the snow to the bus stop without any boots - And, worse than that, in my embarassement I forgot to take the mismatched boots home, so neither of us had any boots to wear the next day either!
You can say that again. Am from West Africa to be precise Nigeria. i got to Church only to find out that that I had tied my wrapper inside out and the rest is best imagined. in between caring for children and rushing out not to be late things like these are bound to happen and thanks to the new trend of fashion we do get away with some fashion blunders.
I too have left size tags on shirts and worn mismatched shoes but the most unusual incident of inattention happened after church one morning. I direct the choir and wear a robe during services. You know that feeling when people seem to be looking at you strangely? No, I was not wearing the choir robe but I had left on the collar. I realized why others were giving me funny looks in the K-MART when I got home and went to change my clothes. I think of things like this when students do absent minded things.
I have done the same!! Don;t feel bad…
A couple of years ago I arrived to school realizing I wore two different sandles! It was to late for me to run home and switch, and I lived to far to make a quick trip anyway. You see, I get dressed in the dark as my husband sleeps later than I, so when I picked up the black pair that were the same heel height, I had no idea! I tried to remain quiet about it so know one would notice my fashion “mis-step!” I laughed about it then, and still chuckle about it now!
That is funny. That has happened to me before. Then you realize and wonder why no one told you…not even collegues.
I once was told by another customer in a store that the front of my shirt still had on one of those long tapes with the size posted on it. Having worn it to lunch and then out shopping, I was quite embarassed.
I just went to the eye doctor after school to pick up my new eyeglasses. I was informed that I have paint on my nose and my cheek and ear. Thank goodness, I didn’t flirt with passing cars that day. I can just imagine what other drivers were thinking.
One day I had to leave extra early in the morning for a conference. I actually put my sunglasses on and walked outside and suddenly realized it was still dark outside. I’m glad nobody was there to witness me looking cool in my sunglasses.
I have went to school several times without a slip or underwear. Not too bad when your the only one who knows. One day I went one step further, I wore my slip and NO skirt! Yes I did go home and get it!
I run a home daycare center in my basement, and had taken laundry to the clothesline during nap time. A bra had been in the wash, so I left it in the basket right at the back door. That night after several parents had picked up, including 3 fathers, I noticed the bra in all its glory at the door for all to see.
