advice.

Polka dot top: Vintage (sent to me by a lovely reader- thanks Christine!).  Sweater: Target.  Trouser Jeans: The Loft.  Shoes: Payless.  Belt: Mr.’s



A word of advice to that lady at the airport.  



If you plan on wearing a white see-through knit skirt and underwear of the minimal string type variety, on the day of travel, please wear a slip.  You don’t need to be sharing quite that much with the unassuming public around you.



I can’t tell you how many times I have seen this catastrophe happen.  



Specifically with leggings. 

(Don’t even get me started on those.)



To avoid this faux-pas: buy appropriate under-coverings (ie. a slip), never wear leggings as pants (think of them as tights people), and everyday, before leaving the house, turn around in front of the mirror and sneak a view of your derriere from the back.  If necessary check with someone you trust.  Don’t think that ignorance is bliss in this instance.  You definitely want to know if your badonkadonk isn’t covered sufficiently.



A true lady never leaves the house with her bum showing.




Trust me, nobody wants to see that.

    How cute is your shirt!! I love it so much! Totally agree with everything you said. I’ve always wanted Jake to put in a 3 way mirrpr in our ginormous closet, just for that reason. I’m quite scared of my backside to begin with. And, I have to be careful what I wear down there. . .

    I LOVE the sleeves poofing out of your sweater! I wouldn’t think to wear it like that on purpose. And hear, hear on the covering up!!

    My father (who is 83) was visiting from our homeland and he almost had a heart attack one day, he could not believe what people wore to go out. I’m only 36 but seriously there is nothing appealing on seeing someone’s underwear.

    Totally agree! But, let’s be honest – many of those women know they need a slip, know leggingxs are not pants – they dress that way for attention. In other news – love your blog!

    Poor woman! Leggings definitely NOT pants. I hate when people wear them as pants. I’ve seen enough intimate outlines of people’s derrieres.

    This post made me laugh out loud. I am amazed at how many women wear leggings as pants. I can’t stand it. If I were you I would have asked that lady at the airport if she knew her skirt was see through. I hope she didn’t know.

    As for your outfit, it’s great. The color of the cardigan is splendid and you make jeans look chic and classy. It all flows very well.
    Cheers,
    Bre

    I’ve been training at the bank for about a week now and I have already seen waaaay too many ladies stroll in in their leggings (as pants, of course) and those bad boys are riding UP. Sick.
