clothes malfuntions

In this past week, I have had TWO major clothes malfunctions. One in Manhattan, New York and one in Sacramento, California. You know you have bad luck, when your clothes disobey you in two different states.


1) New York
I was in New York in order to go to my middle sister's graduation and a few friends of mine asked me to get them " I <3 NY" shirts. I needed to purchase two colored shirts and four white shirts. My oldest sister and I were walking around the city looking for the best bargain on shirts. We have so far only seen 3 white shirts for $10. That was still too expensive, until we came across this little tourist shop that sold 4 white shirts for $10.99 and 2 colored shirts for $10. My sister and I were super excited because those shirts were the cheapest so far. We clearly purchased the shirts and walked on are way. My mom wanted us to get tank tops with the same logo so we walked into another shop to get the tank tops. During our search, we saw the most horrendous thing. There were shirts with the signs "5 white shirts for $10 and 3 colored shirts for $10". My sister and I were devastated. we had lost a whole dollar and two shirts. We decided that what was done was done and that we would just forget about the whole situation. Then we saw a different shop selling 6 white shirts for $10! AHHHH! What the hell? We were angry about it until we got back to the apartment. My friends better love those shirts.

2) California
Today, I decided to wear a pleated mini skirt. The outfit was cute and I was off to school. On my walk, I felt my skirt fall a bit, but I had just assumed that the skirt was just to big for me. The more I walked the more the skirt would slip. I felt the back of my skirt and I felt, not a zipper, but fabric. I felt the fabric to my underwear! The zipper had come undone and my skirt was essentially falling off of me. I was so humiliated! Why don't the people behind me say anything?! I rushed quickly to my first period class and asked one of the Korean girls to help me zip my skirt back up (of course I spoke to her in Korean). T.T Bad things happen to good people.
