Binder Clip to the Rescue!

This morning, as usual, was a super rushed one.  Luckily, I picked out my clothes last night, which saved a lot of time.  Unfortunately, because I had never worn the skirt I picked out (Banana Republic from a thrift store a while ago), I didn't know it was waay too big.  I literally had about 4 minutes to leave my apartment and I was really hoping that I'd be fully dressed when I did.  I untucked my shirt to hide the top of the skirt and grabbed a belt to try to hold it up.  It really didn't look great, but I had no other option -- I had to leave.

On my way to work, luckily covered by a trench coat, I had a brilliant(?) idea.  Since the belt could only do so much, I had to make the waist of the skirt smaller so that it could sit at my natural waist and look like it fit.  So, when I arrived at my office, I grabbed a binder clip, folded the waist vertically so that it would sit right, and clipped it.  Yes, my clothes are being fitted by office supplies, but I have gotten so many compliments on my outfit, I'm not too bothered by it.  In the words of Tim Gunn, "make it work!"
