It’s been awhile hasn’t it? Sorry, I let the Holiday Season get the best of me (aka extreme laziness set in). But I’m back! And what better way to say Happy New Year than to go a whole day at work with a freaking rip in the butt seam of my H&M dress…

Mental Mele, stop poking fun at me!

FML, right?

The best part is that I had no idea that my dress was torn until my dear friend Tess suggested I never wear that dress again:

Tess: “Um, Malia. You probably shouldn’t wear that dress again.”

Me: “What, why? {thinking to myself…This dress is adorbs and comfy. Has Tess gone mad?}

Tess: “Because there’s tear in the butt seam and at the right angle it’s extremely obvious!”

Me: “Are you serious? FASHION FAUX PAS FRIDAY HERE I COME! {thinking to myself…Malia, you need to stop indulging in the holiday treats in the office coffee room or at least go for jog after you eat like 10 Big Island Cookies!}

Tess, thanks for getting my back and letting me know that my butt was on its way to making a name for itself in Fort Street Mall! In the great words of Charlie Sheen, #winning.

Anyhow, it’s definitely not the most fashionable way to kick off 2012, but at least it’s funny!

You can barely tell...until the wind blows!

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I took it like a champ and worked the rest of the day with my torn dress, making sure to walk awkwardly sideways against the wall in an effort to hide the ripped seam. I also banned myself from the holiday treats, but that only lasted until the next morning at work.

Aloha and Happy New Year!
