How I Ended Up Being Bare Legged at Work

How thankful am I that we don't really have a dress code at my workplace! Otherwise I would have probably been jobless by now.

The story is as follows: I get dressed in the morning, wearing a skirt and a shirt. The skirt is short but not too short... Until you walk in it. So halfway to the metro I notice it looks like I'm just wearing two shirts - the skirt kept getting up and up until it almost went missing. Not cool. I rush back home to change and as I don't have time to completely rethink my look, I just reach for the shorts that are similar in style and color to that unfortunate skirt. Not really a problem until halfway to the metro I realize those shorts are much shorter than I thought. Ugh. No time to go back.

So, I am definately thankful for not having a dress code at work, because even having showed up bearing so much leg I still have a job. Will think better about experimenting with new clothes when getting ready for work next time for sure!

  1. ..that is funny story : ) I know the 'skirts' who roll up so cheeky you don't notice but after some time it's like -'oh , where is my skirt gone ' : )
    ..the other day I was in taxi and I had a sudden rush to my brains that I am in my home slippers : ) well , I have sandals ..sometimes I have this fear when I am in rush ..and I even remember the dream years ago that I have gone to school in slipers and nighty ..that really freaks me out ..I am wondering did anybody else have this 'slipper' thing ..it's kind of so funny actually : )))

    Julia! Thats an hilarious story! and your we're lucky to not have a dress code at work because I basically lost my last job because I didn't abide by the dress code. . . whatever. . .I was never really good at following rules in the first place and I especially do NOT like people telling me what I can and cannot wear.

  9. Reminds me of walking around with toilet paper hanging off my shoe after a trip to the bathroom. We have a dress code at our office. It's not too bad--mostly business casual except for certain suit days. Friday is casual day, but we can't wear jeans. Oh lame!
