Fashion Fail Friday
You ever have one of those days when you show up at work and realize that you thought you put on your brown boots that go with your brown shirt and your brown belt only to find out that you put on your black shoes instead and then you go to meet with your supervisor and she tells you that your fly is open and then you go back to your desk and remember with horror that you must be wearing white socks because you always wear white socks with your boots and that means that you are wearing white socks with your black shoes and you look like you are heading out to a sock hop to meet up with t-birds? No? Just me?
The exact coversation with my supervisor went like this:
Supervisor (hushed): Your fly is open.
Vikki: What did you say?
Supervisor (louder): Your fly is open.
Vikki: Oh my god! I’m glad I was wearing underwear.
Supervisor: Yeah. Me too.
Clearly, I’ve lost my mind so I think I should just go home and get back into bed. I could drink coffee all day and play Wizard 101 and no one would be subjected to the mess that I am. Either that or I should apply medicinal nachos. I guess I’ll try that first.
Let’s have some fun – provide your own caption for this photo in the comments!
Have a nice weekend and may your shoes match your belt and your fly remain zipped!

Santa claus on the john? (or is that too harsh? I always imagined him w/ white socks under the black boots.)

At least your socks weren’t short, white running socks. I often wear mismatched socks beneath my boots. That is alway embarrassing when I have to take my boots off for some random reason.
I’m glad you were wearing underwear.

My shoes are on the right feet. Surprisingly.
@Meg – I wondered who would be the first to note that the photo was taken “on the john”. ha ha.

I saw Christmas tree peeps in the grocery store today and thought of you. Do you like all types of marshmallow treats or just the little chicks?

Photo Caption (and also a good cover- use it while you can): In loving memory of Michael jackson.

Yeah I was thinking Michael Jackson rocked that look. I think it was to draw attention to his fancy footwork so maybe you could show off your fancy footwork too. Even in the bathroom. Or ESPECIALLY in the bathroom because that’s all you really see of other people in the stalls anyway, right?
It really just made me think of one of my first autographs I received as a child. I liked “Cheers” at the time because I was a very strange 10 year old. John Ratzenberger (Cliff) sent me a headshot with the following note: Keep your socks white and your heart pure.

Medicinal Nachos….brilliant! We used to go into a great Mexican place when I lived in Duluth, and order margarita’s. The waiter would always smile and nod and say,”ah, medicina”.
Yes, yes…Medicina.
