the skirt swirls

i walk to work everyday. sometimes, i wear skirts, which has caused some unique moments.

i have a pretty fast pace for a shortie, and when i walk, my skirts shift. one day, i slid my hands down to reach into my pockets, and they kept moving, as if my pockets had disappeared. turns out my skirt had shifted completely around and the pockets were now placed behind me. this wardrobe malfunction was made more tricky due to a small swarm of walkers surrounding me.

i considered leaving the skirt in its new position, but instead laughed out loud--creating a minor spectacle--and switched my skirt 180 degrees to its original state.

a co-worker in whom i confided now describes her friend sarah as, "you know, the one with the skirt!"
