Embarrassing moment

Gigi

Veteran

I wore my nude Okalas to church again yesterday. It was my second time wearing them. They were so comfy! When I got home, I took them off, only to notice that the price tag, with really big lettering, was still attached to the bottom of the one shoe! I had forgotten that I had bought the store display pair. That meant that while I was kneeling at the communion rail, everyone got to see that my shoes were 109.95. Eek!

Aww, hopefully their focus was elsewhere.

I saw a woman walk by at a rock concert wearing Louboutin's that still had a white price tag on the bottom. Too dark in the arena to see more, but that white square really stood out against the shiny red sole. I think I still have Goodwill tags inside a couple of shoes that I've been wearing. Might want to get around to removing them, I always forget when it's on the inside. :D.

Well, you could have always recovered by placing your shoes in the offering plate as it passed by. Hee.

No worries! Everyone got a chance to practice grace and mercy!

Embarrassing for you, but a cheering up chuckle for me.

If their thoughts at communion were on your shoes, I doubt they would ever mention it to anyone and reveal that they were not being prayerful.

Ooops!! Oh dear.....I hope people chuckled with warmth and understanding.

I once discovered that I had been walking around for a morning with a grocery price tag of some kind stuck to my back! I don't know how it got there. At $4.99, I was a lot cheaper than your shoes!

I agree with Joy. I have to admit I have done this too.

I did the same thing at my wedding party. I tipped my foot up as we kissed and there was the tag. Oy.

Ha ha, Suz! Misery enjoys company.

IK, oh no! I hope the photographer didn't get it on film.

I have no rights to laugh ... I have worn pants with tags to a party O_O. Thankfully the top was long but still not long enough to cover the entire price tag. *shrug*

And meanwhile I'm thinking, Your church has a communion rail???

I've totally done that, left the sticker tag on the bottom of a shoe. I usually notice when little bits of sticker are falling off as I walk. :/

I did a grocery run one time with my toddler on my back in a carrier and didn't know he'd been sticking dinosaur stickers in my hair. I'd wondered why so many people were grinning at us. Hehe.

Sadly I do that all the time. I went to work the other day with a tag dangling from the little plastic thingy. No one said anything... It went through the wash and everything...

Ha ha! Glad to know I'm not the only one who has done this. Thanks for sharing your stories!

Ah well. Hopefully everyone was too bowed in prayer to notice.

Not exactly the same experience as yours but related...I set off alarms ENTERING stores last week. Turns out, I was wearing a new pair of capris with an interior label that I guess I was supposed to remove before wearing, which was triggering store alarms. Oops!

Oh, the women who saw the tag will probably were wanting to purchase a fab pair for themselves, like, yes, I too can afford those amazing shoes

Oh dear. That happened to me once too. At least they'll know you didn't pay full price--which is a bigger sin (I should know-- I did).

Thistle, the people being bowed in prayer was part of the problem....because that means that their eyes were pointed down at the floor, which is exactly where they would have seen the bottoms of my shoes! Ack!

Windchime, the same thing has happened to me! It's happened to me a couple of times, in fact—though not with clothing that I had on but with clothing I was returning. I did just recently notice a tag that specifically said should be cut out before wearing, in a pair of pants I bought. I wonder if that is what that's about?

Claire, actually I do think I paid full price. I have the nude, and I think the solid colors are cheaper than the patterned versions. I bought them at Nordie's, and there wasn't any kind of sale, so that would generally mean full price. Another embarrassment, yes, hee hee!
