Cold.

[alicephilippa]

This morning, after a vile night, I left for work a bit later than normal. I chose (as I do most Fridays) to be a bit gothed up.

So, black top, newrocks, black and shiny red socks, and a 2 layer purple brocade and black lace skirt. I'm walking up to the station when I realise that my right leg is incredibly cold. I look down to see the top of my leg protected from the elements by only a bit of lace. Brr. My thought was that I'd just got the hem of the underskirt caught when I went to the loo.

Sorted it out on the train. "Hey look everyone. Tiny black knickers"... No, not really. I was able to do it without exposing my bum.

Then I went out at lunchtime. Walking up to Waitrose, "Hm, leg getting cold...Ah, leg is bare..."

Seems the combination of the coat I'm wearing and the skirt don't work, and are an instant fashion disaster.

Arse.

Alice.

Flimsy skirts (in fact any skirts that aren't pencil-line/tight) are improved by sewing a few small fishing weights into the hem :) The other problem happens when your skirt and your tights decide they are bestest friends and cling together resulting in your skirt creeping up your legs as you walk.

Sounds like a nice skirt though. I have one which is two layered. For what ever reason if my top is over the top of the skirt the outer layer gradually rides up leaving only the under skirt and a belt of lace around my mid rift.

Longer and heavier weight version of this:

That is a nice skirt!

Tights often stick to other clothes :-(,
when I wear tights under jeans, the same story

This morning I wasn't wearing tights, I was just wearing knee socks.

So at lunchtime I went out and bought a pair of purple footless tights. They didn't solve the problem of the skirt riding up, but at least my legs didn't freeze on the walk home from the station.

This brings new meaning to the term "wardrobe malfunction".

I HAVE DONE THAT!

Cute green skirt, cute black jacket, looked CUTE together, but the top layer of the skirt would always ride up whenever it met the jacket fabric. Required much tugging on the dash home. But then I gave up and acted like I had planned it that way, and received no funny looks.

And now I want red socks...

Red and Black stripes with black and purple lace?

An embarrassing flash of derriere is the least of your worries, sweetie!

(Consider it karma for the fashion critique of that poor girl in beige last week.... one should not torment the afflicted like that. It's just not sporting)

Yes I know, but after the night I'd had I just really didn't GAF and they were to hand. The were *very* thin red stripes anyway.

At least I didn't mention the Santa Clause earrings I was wearing.
