I won’t make the national news but I am here to tell you that celebrities have nothing on me. Absolutely nothing. I can have wardrobe malfunctions like the best of them.

Wednesday, after spending hours running errands, going to an Ash Wednesday service where I walked up to the altar to receive ashes on my forehead, going to lunch with my beloved and running yet another errand, Chris told me that I had a large hole in the back of my black pants. A pair of pants I had put on in the morning and had not looked at the back. They were a newish pair acquired at Marshall’s and obviously I was clueless that about 3 inches of the back seam had come undone. I am not sure when it happened. They are not tight at all, in fact they are almost too large so it wasn’t because I was busting out of them, but honestly, how did I not know? And now I am thinking of ALL OF THE PEOPLE that I probably shared my white patterned underwear with today. I feel like I owe the world an apology.

As I was thinking about this it came to mind that I have had a couple of other wardrobe malfunctions over the fast few months. One included wearing a sweater backwards. To church. All morning. Now I doubt that anyone knew it was backwards as it was one of those long ones with an asymmetrical hemline and it looked okay but when I realized it I was aghast.

And yes –there was another recent gaffe when I wore a pair of black leggings with a black knee high static clinged inside the leg in the back of my shin. I wore it that way all day and did not detect the lump.

So perhaps I need someone to inspect me before I leave the house these days. Maybe I need a dresser. Or maybe I just need to pay more attention to how I look. I don’t know –what do you think?
