Too too funny, Anna. But I'm thinking now that we should all have acid green undies for these sorts of occasions. That's marvelous.</p> <p>Btw, that is definitely what I'm going to eat tomorrow: cheesy grits, with a nice glass of wine. I'd eat it right now, but the cupboard is bare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1277136 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:08:50 +0000 Anonymous 1277136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear (she says, fighting back the giggles)!

I think I've been in that place a time or two myself. I'm really enjoying your wit along with your very high fashion. At least we know also that you are just as fashionable down to the undergarments. Keep your fashion head up for tomorrow is another fashion day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1277001 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:40:49 +0000 Jaime 1277001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great story!

Comforting to know that even the high-fashion among us have these issues!</p> <p>That meal sounds amazing. I was actually in Seattle a few months ago for only two days and spent one of them almost entirely at Pike Place Market, instead of doing sightseeing like a normal person,&nbsp;so I know there's seriously good food around there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1276982 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:28:01 +0000 Lisa 1276982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness!&nbsp; Well at least you have a new wardrobe hole to shop for.&nbsp; My sister is a sock fanatic and purchases the brightest and boldest socks she can find.&nbsp; And she adores wearing black!&nbsp; But her socks are her nod to being rebellious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1276971 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:19:18 +0000 Diana 1276971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!&nbsp; You've reminded me that I need to do a purge of my sock drawer.&nbsp; I seem to only make holes with my left big toe and never the right, so I have a bunch of pairs with one good one and one holey one.&nbsp; I should just buy two pairs of everything, that way after I throw out the holey ones I will still have a good pair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1276967 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:16:19 +0000 anne 1276967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so with you on needing to upgrade my socks!

What a tale. At least your undies were pretty ^^ There's always tomorrow, yes?

I have been there! Quite often I've had the hole in sock issue. (Very uncomfortable it is, too.) But the fly undone? Oh, yeah. The most recent occasion was during a teacher meeting at our daughter's school. <b>YES!!!&nbsp;</b></p> <p>So glad you had a great meal and are laughing.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1276932 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:37:26 +0000 abc 1276932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you can laugh about this and aren't ashamed to share with us. I needed this. Thanks! And here's to tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fashion-foibles-of-the-day#post-1276926 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:30:35 +0000 annagybe 1276926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so you know me as supremely shoe obsessed fashionista. Well, today I failed, mightily.<br />My commuting look has definitely nose dived. Jeggings and a hoodie, anyone? Though I am wearing my Golden Goose sneakers, and my hoodie today was by Marc by Marc Jacobs, with sparkles.<br />Anyways today I grabbed a pair of old short athletic socks. There was a small hole, really more of a ladder near the toe. Yes I spend far too much money on shoes, but far too gone socks... they still function, right?<br />Ok so by the end of the day at work, that uh, ladder grew to a hole that encompassed two toes.<br />Then I was able to get out of work a bit early. And channel my inner old fartness and get the early bird special at one of my favorite restaurants.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.steelheaddiner.com/">http://www.steelheaddiner.com/</a></p> <p>Seriously if you visit Seattle, try their razor clam chowder. Also it's the site of my first YLF meet-up.<br />After a really nice blackened catfish with cheesy grits and some great local wine, I toddled off to the bus home.<br />At the bus stop I realized, my fly, was wide open. And I was wearing bright green lace undies.<br />I'm now home safe to regale you my tale of woe.</p>
