Do you have above average size boobs?
I know I do.
And sometimes, I walk into Forever21 and see a cute button up top, but I can't buy it, because I know that everyone sitting or standing to the left of me, west of the Mississippi, will be looking at things meant for Burley's eyes only.
Sorry dad.
So... I do this little trick. And that trick is called the "sewing my shirts closed" trick.
BAM.
That's right. I seriously (and often) sew my button up shirts closed.
Now, this trick obviously makes it impossible to do that hilarious party joke where you walk into a group of people and rip your snap button shirt open...
Just kidding.
But seriously... I have seen Burley do this trick before. Hilarious. We have a lot of friends.
But... That joke is only funny about 1 time. Then it is just plain indulgent. Get ahold of yourself!
So after this trick is performed, you must therefore remove your shirt like the rest of the world...
Over your head.
Sorry hipsters. Nothing unique to see here.
But that is the only downside.
The upsides include...
NO AWKWARD SHIRT FIXING.
No unwanted nip slips.
No unfortunate chest mess.
Just plain ol' classy you. Wearing your plain ol' classy button up shirt.
Nothing to see here, folks!
... And I hope it is understood that I will not be sharing a before and after. That would just be wrong. Seriously REALLY funny, but wrong.
I know better than that... sometimes.
See? I told you.
Nothing to see here folks.
TTFN,










I'm sorry to tell you that there's been a shirt fixing here, but only to check the demonstration of your post lol ! Your blog is great, especially the photos of your sister's wedding : beautiful ! Can't wait to see more ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha glad you could try it out, Mel :) Works like a charm! And thanks for the wedding shout out. It truly was soooo beautiful
Deletehehe i always use safety pins. but maybe i should try sewing!
ReplyDeleteOH Mandy - I have done the safety pins before too. I know it all too well. Seriously - sew that shirt. It will change your life!
DeleteHaha! You crack me up! That's actually pretty genious though! I honestly never thought to do that!

Well no you have Sara! Go forth and secure breasts, all around the nation!
DeleteTHIS IS BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Autumn!!! You are too kind (and way to generous). I would say mildly talented with a sewing machine would do the trick hehe.
DeleteI have some *ahem* newly large breasts and haven't been able to wear button ups since umm... purchasing (lol) them. Thank you so much for this!!! Holy cow that was awkward to write...

ReplyDeleteYou know what, Amanda? I dont know the answer to that. But I am sure glad that I could help! Let me know how "the girls" like it.
