so, you know when you buy a sundress and you're super excited for the weather to get warm so you can wear it? and then it finally does, and you leave the house feeling amazing about your new outfit, and prance around the office like you're lookin' good - until you get in the elevator to go downstairs to a meeting, and you smooth over your dress. wait - what?! is that bare skin i feel? in the back of the dress? no. no. this can't be.and then you realize that you've been walking around your office for the entire morning with your bare bum hanging out for all too see - and no one tells you. so you freak out in the elevator, and try to button the three buttons that are undone in the back of the dress (see above photo to understand how high up this really is). of course, because you're nervous and your hands are shaky, you can't get them buttoned - so you get off the elevator, press your back against the wall, and shimmy down the hallway until you get to a safe spot to fix yourself.
two lessons come out of this, methinks:
1) ladies. please. for the love of all things holy, if you see another woman with something hanging out that should most definitely not be exposed, SAY SOMETHING. i must have talked to at least 5 coworkers and no one said anything.
2) if there is any chance whatsoever that you might have a malfunction with an article of clothing, take it for a test run before you decide to wear it any place where a) accidental nudity could get you sued for sexual harassment or b) you really don't want to embarrass yourself.
