Fashion Disaster #453

I just returned from an amazing vacation in Sunriver, OR (located in Central Oregon). The weather and company could not have been more perfect. We hiked, biked, canoed and best of all got some sunshine. Overall, it was a GREAT vacation... minus one small incident. On Tuesday, we decided to go for a hike to an obsidian lava flow (which was beautiful) on the way back we stopped at some nearby falls (see picture).. also, very beautiful! We walked to the top to get an overall view and then decided to walk a little further down to get the view from the bottom. About half way down we all stopped to take a break and decide if we wanted to continue walking down the hiking trail. Me, being the very athletic hiking girl type.. ok, maybe I just think I am... somehow managed to slip on the dirt and fall flat on my butt. Ok, so it's just dirt right? Wrong!! I managed to fall on the only, jagged edge rock on the whole trail! It hurt so bad, I didn't know whether to cry or scream. Needless to say, I didn't continue down the path to see the rest of the waterfalls.

By the time, I got home the bruise was already starting to show. I will save you all the horrible details and just say that it was very black and blue, and took up a large portion of my rear end.

Flash forward to Tuesday of this week.. back at work and back to the grind, still bruised and a little sore though. I'm trying to enjoy my last few weeks of summer sunshine so I decide to wear the white pants with a flowy top (it's not labor day yet). It took me about half way through the day to realize my pants are a bit see through. Upon realizing this in the bathroom, I turned around remembering that I have a large black and blue spot on my rear end, that now can be seen through my pants. Thankfully, my top was long enough to cover most of said area until I was able to get home and change immediately!

I've now come to realize that saying shouldn't be "no white pants after Labor Day" but rather "no white pants if you fall and bruise the entire left side of your butt"!
