This incident happened a few weeks ago, but think it’s still worth talking about.
I was walking home from the Farmer’s Market, bags of produce in each hand. Somewhat heavy. It was a a windy day as I walked along the streets of Manhattan, but in my mind there was not a care in the world…
As I was mentally singing along to my spotify playlist, a huge gust of wind blew my dress up in the air…and I mean all the way up….
Imagine if you will, My dress flung so high it’s practically over my head…
and I’m carrying heavy bags and I can’t quite get the dress down,
and I’m worried about my ear buds flying off into the avenue…
and all I could think was:
I am so grateful that I’m wearing hipsters instead of a thong…

Yeah could always be worse, but probably wasn’t as nearly as many people to witness it as it could’ve been, am I right ?

I don’t even own a thong. I’d rather go without then… lol 🙂
Either way, ha!
You didn’t mention if anyone was on the street and noticed…did you notice if they noticed or were busy with their own issues caused by the wind?

I don’t know what would be worse, that or falling and having the groceries spill all over the street, which totally sounds like something that would happen to me.

This makes me feel even better about my need to wear skin tight shorts under skirts and dresses anymore. I do it for comfort more than anything, but if something like this happened I’d be good. I have a bigger problem with my shirts since I like loose and flowy. And yes, I’ve had something similar happen with those.

I wear a lot of dresses and this has happened to me before, but this was clearly the worst time! I couldn’t get my dress to stay down and since I had bags I couldn’t hold the dress closed.
