What Not to Wear

Things I Have Inadvertently Worn in Public:

1)   Two different earrings. Long dangly ones. With short hair. In other words a near-sighted-eye-patch-wearing pirate with a cataract could have spotted them a mile away. Wore them throughout an entire shift at work and did not notice until I arrived home. Not ONE customer or co-worker mentioned it. Am I that weird that the public just figures it is part of my 'fashion' sense?

2a)  A t-shirt front-to-back. And not one of those plain t-shirts where it might be hard to distinguish. Oh no. This had a pocket on the front. Which now was on my back. Where a sign saying, 'Help! I Cannot Dress Myself!' was placed by a bystander.

2b)  To complete the above outfit I was also wearing my yoga pants inside out. With tags, seam stitching, etc, visible for the entire public to see. And yes, it was a day that required me to do errands after leaving the gym.

3)  Two different shoes to work. And no I wasn't wearing pants that may have covered them. . . I was wearing a dress.
And a red face when I finally noticed.

4) You know those sizing strips that you see on some garments? Long skinny tags that denote the size? You could have seen them on my new jeans.....size XL....when I was out doing errands all. day. long.

5) Price tags. On various garments throughout the years. Interestingly no law enforcements types ever stopped me on suspicion of shoplifting but I always wondered why people would say, 'Hey, you got a new top!' and then be able to tell me where I bought it and what I paid for it.

I could be an entire season for Stacey and Clinton.
