I have a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease.
This morning, I strode into the design room upon arriving at work, and within the space of five minutes managed to commit an Epic Fail of epically epic proportions. There was a dress hanging on the end of my friend's work rail (filled with other dresses) It was a very pretty design in silk chiffon, but in a shade I particularly dislike and can only describe as 'bogey green'. I took one look at it, and exclaimed in disgust, 'What on earth is this vomitous-looking creation?' My friend paused for a moment, then said, 'Um... It's the dress I'm going to wear to my boyfriend's birthday party next week.'
FAIL.
I was (and still am) mortified XO. Thank god she's got a fabulous sense of humour, and managed to see the funny side of it, and we've been taking the piss out of each other about it all morning. Also, I didn't retract my initial assessment of said garment. I really do hate that colour, and I told her I wasn't going to be a hypocrite and lie to her and pretend that I did in fact like it (not that I could have convinced her, I'm sure). At least this way she knows that when I am complimentary (which is often), that I do actually mean it. What a way to find out someone is honest in their opinions!
In the meantime, do any of you have a gigantic spade? I'm gonna need it for this here hole ;D Talk about sticking your foot in your mouth so damned far that you turn yourself inside out, lol.
