The new "slut" dress

I have this dress that I love. It's a long black dress that buttons all the way down the front and is "fitted". I like the dress itself - the way it looks, the way it fits...everything.

Well, a few weeks ago I wore this dress to work. I'd been at the office a few minutes when I looked down and realized more cleavage was showing than I was comfortable with. Hadn't really ever noticed that before. Kind of made me a little self-conscious. A little while more had passed and another cleavage shot moment happened. On the third time, I realized the top button (or two) was unbuttoned. Fortunately I had gone in early that day so that if everyone in the office had gotten an eye full, it wasn't that many - because I realized it pretty early (thank goodness!).

Then today, I wore the dress again. I didn't go in early today so pretty much everyone was there when I looked down and was flashing the world again. Thing is, when that happens you don't know if it just came unbuttoned or if you've been flashing people since you left the house. So, I was already pretty self-conscious (who knew if my flashing was a once a day occurrence or if I'd repeat throughout the day) when I ran my hand down the back of my dress. (I sometimes do this self-consciously because I have a fear of having my dress stuck down the back of my panty-hose - yes I wear those! - and I feel better when my hand has a dress to go down, if you know what I mean.) Well, I had a finger "catch" on a HOLE in the dress in the back! It was a small hole but apparently my chest wasn't the only thing I was flashing. I'm thinking I need a new favorite dress. Maybe, instead of being called my "slut" dress, it should be called my peek-a-boo dress.

Here's to hoping there are no more unintentional flashes in my future. ;-)

I feel my hand down the back of a skirt regularly. Just in case it's tucked up into my underwear or something. That would be bad.

Sorry about the naughty dress. But maybe that's the new you. :)

Too funny! I hate that though - there's nothing better for self-confidence than putting on your favorite dress.

Well, I dreamed last night that everyone was staring at my chest and I was letting them feel me up while telling them "they're real". (They were very perky in the dream.)

At least I know why I had the dream. LOL

I don't know, maybe you should keep wearing the dress and see what happens ;)

I'm with Maria. LOL.

Seriously, I usually forget to check for booboos like that and then someone tells me I have a Bounce sheet hanging from some part of my clothes. *snort*
