It's been a long time since I've had to go home because of a wardrobe malfunction. What about you? Do you remember the last time?
Oddly, I've had two wardrobe malfunctions lately, & I'm poised for a third (not that I believe by any means that things happen in threes).
Both incidents make me laugh, & the second one worked out well in the end....
Oddly, I've had two wardrobe malfunctions lately, & I'm poised for a third (not that I believe by any means that things happen in threes).
Both incidents make me laugh, & the second one worked out well in the end....
The First Malfunction
The first malfunction is just a hose tear. It's probably happened to you a million times too, right? I was wearing these hose below to work last week with a dress that felt a little short. It didn't matter much that they suddenly ripped since it's warm enough for bare legs, but it did take me by surprise!
The Second Malfunction
The second malfunction was a bit more dramatic. I wore this new Piperlime dress for the first time for a day at work that had a special event in the evening. I brought along a long black cardigan.
 |  Piperlime dress, purchased off season for around $18 |
| Well, about midday I stood up & suddenly realized there was a huge tear all the way up my back!  Luckily the dress had a black lining. My cardigan also covered the worst patch of it, so I just continued on, tried to stay seated, & I don't think anyone noticed. If I hadn't had the cardigan, I probably would have gone home to change. | I wrote to Piperlime I wrote to Piperlime & told them the story, & even though I'd purchased the dress Final Sale, they sent me a credit I could use at Piperlime, GAP, Old Navy, or Banana Republic! I promptly spent the credit because that's just how I am :-) Here's Piperlime's response to my request... Dear Josie, First of all, I really appreciate your loyalty to our brand.

I could assume both incidents happened because of my perpetually expanding girth. Or I could blame poor quality goods.
I choose to blame the second reason! For now, I'll be waiting for my next hem to fall, seams to tear, straps to break, & I'll just hope I have some emergency back-up plan!
