I had a big job interview yesterday.  I was pretty anxious about the clothing thing.  My life for the last 18 years or so has consisted of a jeans and t-shirt uniform.  I liked it that way.  Even the church we attended for so many years was of the casual variety - come as you are.  So I came, as.I.was. 
The night before the interview, I pulled out what I thought might be workable and started trying things on.  It was hopeless.  I bought a new bra - I guess I thought my boobs should look more professional, but when I proceeded to try clothes on with my newly shaped parts, nothing fit correctly.  I went to bed with my best choice being a pink top and some brown slacks.  Pink?  If you know me - you know how out of character it would be for me to wear pastel pink.  Oi vay!
I woke up the next morning, the day of the interview and knew I could not wear the pink.  I decided it might be the bra and with that quick change, I found that everything fit me much better.  Black slacks, and olive green top with a black camisole underneath and I was good to go.  I even had knee highs, and nice shoes.   When I left for the interview I felt pretty confident, until I noticed I was getting a wedgie.  At first I was thinking it was from the slippery dress pants that I'm not accustomed to wearing.  As soon as I got to the office, I checked in with the receptionist and excused myself for a moment to the restroom to check my windblown hair, and the wedgie. I was mortified to find that I had left the big folding tag on the back of the new slacks.  I ripped it off and stuck it in my purse, deep enough so that should I be asked to pull out my wallet for any reason - I would not also produce the tag.   And as always after using the restroom, I pulled my underwear back up.  The act of pulling them down and back up is usually resolves any wedgie issues.
Then the interview.   More on that later - but at one point, sitting in a very nice office in an upright chair, I felt something pricking me in the back.  Prick, prick!  So I moved a little, and more pricks.  I knew almost instantly that it was the tag, still inside my blouse.  In my nervousness to get ready - I had failed to remove any tags whatsoever.   I sat there answering questions, attempting to ignore the seeming sword that was trying to run me through from behind. 
I rushed home once the interview concluded to change into my Walmart uniform and head off to the job that I already have.  When my shift was over, I came home and went to the bathroom and found that I must've put my underwear on wrong.  I noticed a seam where it should not have been.  The reason for the wedgie?  The crotch of my underpants had been on my left hip all day long, and I never noticed.
So, never be fooled by how put together I might be on the outside.  I really should not be allowed out of the house in real clothes. 
So funny - I hope the interview went better than your getting dressed. Maybe Kaitlyn will help you get dressed next time :)
