I only have 24 hours to sort myself out something to wear for a Halloween themed Zumba class tomorrow. I thought I was sorted. I'm not really a fancy dress kind of person so didn't have anything to hand. But when I was shopping last week, I had a look through some accessories and picked up a couple of things.
Exhibit A
And then my 'seemed like a good idea at the time purchase'. Let me know when you notice the big mistake.
Exhibit B
Skeleton leg tights. I thought I could wear one of my husband's black t shirts to wear with them. They do look fun when they are on but first mistake I noticed was that for Zumba I obviously have to wear dance trainers. Which will totally cover up the bones of the foot which is the most interesting part of the tights. Then the most potentially embarrassing mistake is that these are tights. Not leggings. And not even very opaque tights once you put them on. So when I reach up and the t shirt moves up with me, whoever has the misfortune to be in the row behind me will have a grandstand view of {ahem} my behind. And no one wants that I can assure you. So, how do I fix this? Do I wear leggings under the tights to obscure any unfortunate views? Can I even get the tights on if I'm already wearing leggings? Should I start the class barefoot so people can at least see I have some novelty tights on rather than just a pair with silver stripes down the front? Help!
So what else does this week hold? Well, tomorrow my daughter will be given the date that they will deliver her baby - that seems so weird. I had a planned C section with my son and remember being booked in for 5 March and driving home feeling very strange that I actually knew the exact date. They still haven't decided on a name which is crazy because they've known since 20 weeks that they are having a girl, it shouldn't take that long to come up with something surely! Any suggestions?
Right, time for me to get to grips with those skeleton legs, I think it's time to take a pair of scissors to them and see if I can unpick the toe seam and then just pull them further up the leg so the toe bones show above my trainers. Sounds like a plan ... watch this space ...

Thank you for this Monday morning chuckle. I do like your little hat band. I wonder if making a netted tutu to go over your tights would work to aid in protection of those behind you ... good luck, have fun.
I'm with you girlfriend---the pressure! I'd go with the skeleton "hose" with a pair of black shorts over the top! Put your shoes on at the last minute!
I'm with you on the whole dressing up thing, but you have painted a funny picture of skeleton legs and bums!
