    Doh!!

    I wore my kilt in to work today and was feeling great until I went into the lunchroom to heat up my soup. As I looked down I realized that I had on one dark blue hose and one black hose.
    Don't get dressed in the morning with the lights on low!
    In a kilt you can really tell you have mis-matched hose!


    Please somebody tell me that I'm not the only one to do this
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

    Well, there is a cure for that problem. Just make sure that one color has the "popcorn" top and the other doesn't.

    I usually get all my clothes together the night before. I take some care to get the look just the way I want it. I was running a bit late a couple of weeks ago and dressed in a hurry. It wasn't till I got to the meeting that I realised that I had the wrong kilt on. Nothing matched, in fact it all clashed.

    Regards

    I did that with shoes one day. I wore the kilt and traveled about 50 miles north before I realized I had on odd shoes. How I could go that long and not feel the difference is beyond me. I felt stupid the rest of the day and wondered if anyone noticed. With any luck they were preoccupied with the kilt and did not look down any farther.

    If the hose matches the kilt, is there REALLY a problem????

    I have two pairs of sandals, identical except that one pair is brown leather and the other black.

    One evening I sat down on the bed and realised that for the last 15 hours I'd been wearing one from each pair.

    I still don't know how I managed it. The brown ones are kept with my green/brown clothes and the black ones with the blue/black ones.

    I go to excruciating lengths with my clothing to keep everything brown separated from everything black or gray. Still, it happens from time to time... I think they move on their own!
