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

HA HA I love this moments…the ones where you look around to see if anyone is looking at you…..I have had many wardrobe malfunctions….from wearing 2 different shoes to having my zipper down it is as bad as falling in front of a group of people or accidentally passing gas. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in the wardrobe malfunctions!!!
Ha ha! I have “fashion faux pas” on a regular basis. I really have, and use, a mirror, but somehow arrive at school with sweaters in-side-out, mismatched earrings, blue shoes with black pants etc. It’s too bad our district won’t spring for a dresser to help me!
i am so glad you guys are so cool about your embarrassing moments one thing you guys have not mentioned is putting your shoes on backside
I have done that!!! I also have walked out of my apartment still wearing my slippers. I didn’t have time to run back to change, so it’s a good thing I teach kindergarten!
How funny! I remember once after a very busy day I went to a fabric store only to be told my top was on wrong side out! I feel your pain!!!
Years ago, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital after an accident. I worried aloud about my underwear. The nurse said the undies passed, but I was wearing 2 different socks.
Worse yet, I went to an interview wearing a skirt, blouse, and vest. I didn’t realize until I came home that my vest was buttoned wrong! I did get the job, It was a SPED position!
More than once I’ve thrown on a new sweater only to take it off at the end of the day finding the price tag and extra button pouch still attached.
I share your embarrassment! I got to school one day and had two different shoes one. I wondered why my feet were hurting. LOL!
I don’t think I’ve ever had any fashion faux pas at school, but I have worn my name tag upside down for entire days. None of my students have ever pointed it out. I’ve always realized it on my own. It is surprising because kids are usually the most honest and are the first to point out when your hair is sticking up or you have something on your face.
I’ve worn 2 different colored socks and worst of all no bra only once so embarrasing (had to wear a jacket the entire day) thank goodness it was a black shirt. I’m way too much in a hurry
One day when I was late I ran for my tennis shoes. I realized later that I had 2 different ones on. No one said anything and I decided that since I teach preschool that I just looked like one of my students who had dressed themselves.
I was glad to see that I am not the only one.
One of my most memorable fashion flubs occurred several years ago on picture day. Fridays are normally jeans and school T-shirt day at my school. That year picture day was on a Friday. I, of course, totally forgot. I am on the front row with my class wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, and my hair in a pony tail. Not a good look, but a memorable one.
