Please tell me I am not the only one
      #199574 - 20/09/2008 14:56

a work colleague at lunchtime yesterday kindly told me I was wearing odd shoes. I can't believe I didn't notice - especially as there was an inch difference in the heel. It was dark when I got up at 6am! Caused much hilarity in the office - I was a bringer of cheer and laughter!

Has anyone else made a fashion faux pas?

Love it Nic! No, I've never done it (to my knowledge) but can see how easy it would be to put on odd shoes when you're rushing out in the morning (especially now the mornings are getting darker).

When I was at secondary school, we all had to get changed for field hockey. Couldn't understand why everyone was laughing at me when I came out of the changing huts?

I still had my school skirt on under my hockey skirt. Oops!

Odd shoes - frequently. Not so much now, but I went through a phase when I wore one black, one navy, or black in different styles. It was getting up o a dark morning and rushing about.

The worst was at my son's parents evening, when his teacher told me he was a clever lad, but needed more organisation. I was so scared he would look down and see one black suede shoe, and one black patent.

And you can't line dance in odd boots either!

How about having your skirt stuck in your panties ?
It happened to me whislt at the supermarket in the States.
Naturally OH and sons were laughing so much as I was pushing the trolley that it took a while before one of them told me what I'd done!
I always check my behind now!

My mum once came out of a charity shop with a coathanger, complete with blouse, attached to her coat.

Dad said she looked like Batman as she crossed the road...

Have seen a few peeps emerge from the loos with long bits of loo roll attached to the soles of their shoes.

Tell them? Do you or don't you?

I have gone to work with the same black patent court shoes but different heel sizes, no one would have noticed but my walk was a bit funny as I staggered down the corridor.

The odd thing was that I didn't know I'd bought the same shoe with different size heels?!?!?!?

I remember when I worked a nightshift once and in the winter I would wear a vest under my work shirt to keep warm.One night I was particularly uncomfortable as my vest felt a bit tight. I got my colleague to check the label and he read out to me, "Ladybird,aged 5 to 6"......I had put my son's vest on by mistake.....ooops.

How about going to infant school and forgetting to put my knickers on. Only for the teacher to say 'Children,take off your top clothes we are doing P.E.today'

Back in the fifties we did P.E. in our vests and knickers.

You are certainly not the only one. I did it with shoes that were a totally different colour with very different heels. I wore them for a couple of hours and only found I started walking funny after I noticed the difference.

have been giggling all the way through this thread!

haven't done the odd shoes trick, but it certainly wouldnt be the first time I have left the house without realising that the calm professional image I had gone for was let down by the rather fetching toothpaste stain I had managed to dribble down my front....
