Dear readers. Gentle readers. Forgiving readers. I had a little bit of a mishap today (well, yesterday, since I’m posting this tomorrow, which is your today). Well. Let’s not call it a mishap. It was more of a malfunction. A wardrobe malfunction.
Turned out my georgette/silk/whatever the heck it is blouse was a little more sheer than I thought.
:-O
Now, granted, it probably wasn’t as big a deal as I thought. I was wearing a flesh-colored bra, and it wasn’t sheer-sheer, so it probably just looked like I was wearing a flesh-colored liner underneath. And I was wearing a cardigan on top of it, duh.
So it probably didn’t look as bad as I thought it did when I went into the bathroom at school with those super ungodly bright fluorescent lights. Probably not.
But still! I’m kind of a total prude, and it felt like it was really bad. You guys, I’m probably the most whorish prude you’ve ever met. Or whose blog you’ve ever read. I talk a good game, I’m sure, but I might as well be starring in a movie with several vertically challenged miners that live in the woods and engage in some group karoake on their way to work.
Not my proudest moment, but I’m probably making too much of it. I doubt anyone noticed. I didn’t get any weird looks or anything, even from girls, so I bet it’s all in my head.
Here’s what I’m wearing, with a less-sheer blouse. God, I suck.
Circo Jeans ………. $9.99
Michael Kors’ Polka Dot ………. $20.81
Tommy Hilfiger Cardigan in Yves Pink ………. $44.98
Gamberdale Bangles ………. $12
This is reasonably close to what I was wearing today.
And yes, the little-girl-jeans are making a reappearance. I wear little girl jeans. Get over it. Dark wash, of course. I love dark wash. You will NEVER see me in a pair of pale blue stonewashed jeans, much less white. Ugh. Heaven forfend.
Anyway, I was wearing a black and white polka dot top, but I like this one better. For some bright color, I threw on a bright fuchsia cardigan from Lord & Taylor (looooooove that store; can also never be allowed in that store because my credit card’s started waving that white flag) that was longer than this one, but they don’t have it available on the site anymore. Come to think of it, it’s been missing for some time.
Anyhoodle, I threw on some gold and purple beaded bracelets (Indian jewelry that occasionally passes as normal jewelry) and off I went.
And then I went to wash my hands in the morning because I’m SO paranoid about germs and stickiness and the train is frigging gross and I have to touch the handrails and EW, and the bright lighting revealed more of the sweater puppies than I thought it would.
But I’m probably making it up in my head. I wore the same thing in front of Mama Hoomster right now, and she didn’t notice, and Mama Hoomster NOTICES these things, you guys.
Mama Hoomster sees all.

The way you speak about Mama Hoomster, I keep expecting her to just appear behind me as I’m reading your posts and chastise me.
I swear, I would not put it past her to have teleportation powers.
… don’t tell her I said that.

I LOVE YOU MAMA HOOMSTER, AND I WOULD NEVER THINK ANYTHING UNKIND TOWARD YOU.
(I swear to Bob she kinda scares me a little.)
Bahahahaha!
[...] After all, when it comes to sheer blouses, you don’t want to make the same mistake I made that one time. [...]
