Ooh No La La

The day I put this outfit on I was feeling confident and loving my look.   I wore stockings with it, oh how I hate stockings, but it was much too cool out to go bare legged.   Anyway, I was feeling quite lady like.  My pleats were swinging with every elongated stride.  You couldn't tell me I wasn't working it. Ooh La La!!
But wait,  as I'm strolling, wait... what the... Ooh NO La La.  I can see through my skirt.  *blushes*  Ok, check my surrounding (whew) the coast  is clear.  I sure hope that guy in line behind me waiting to pay for his parking doesn't have a story to tell!
Lessons learned/To Do ASAP:
(1) Check clothing for translucency before strutting down the street.
(2) Buy a half slip (do they sell these any more?)
(3) Activate my So(Sew)Rosie persona and sew a lining in that little flirty skirt.
Other than accepting a co-worker's invitation to lunch, I stayed at my desk all day.  Knowing my plight, he was kind enough to go out in search of a slip on my behalf.  Upon his return he declared himself my savior.  "5 stores later," he boasted proudly and handed me a small bag. "You know, the women in the stores said people don't wear slips anymore, but they said this would work," he added.
As I opened the bag I busted out with laughter...I was holding a pair of boyshorts!!!
I thanked him for his thoughtfulness (come on how nice was that) but regretfully informed him that those same women duped him out of a few bucks.
Luckily, I brought along my new favorite jacket.  I scored this lovely Talbot's trench from the Goodwill for $7, the perfect cover up for my trip home.
