FML for the day

So, my pants are tight because I'm bloated, just like most of you. I looked down a minute ago and realized that the zipper has started to come unsewn from the pants around it because it has been stretched too far. A full inch of my yellow underwear is visible, even when standing.

My only saving grace is I took my own advice and am wearing a long, floaty top. The only problem with it is my breasts threaten to spill out the top of it at any moment.

I am a high school teacher, and wardrobe malfunctions are not easily forgotten around here. I'm screwed.

I wore normal sized pants today (I recently went down a couple of sizes) and it was the worst decision. As the days goes on, another part of my pants gets undone.

I've been rolling over the top while I'm sitting, so they sit under my bloated belly. I'm already plus-sized, my pants fit me well before, and they were freaking hard to find!

I'm a teacher, too (Middle school) and I am constantly worrying about my boobs popping out of my clothes. I had to retire a couple of shirts already that were a little too low cut for my new rack. I haven't noticed any staring yet...

Luckily I've lost a bunch of weight due to m/s, so that's balancing out any bloat. My pants are kinda huge on me at the moment, but I figure I'll make it up fast once this nausea kicks off.

I'm a teacher, and rather well-endowed, and have found these Cami Secrets to be a godsend, they clip on to your bra and cover up the cleavage without having to wear another layer.  They're lacy and look dressy, I'm wearing one today as a matter of fact!

OMG! I also teach high school. I have been using the "hair tie" trick and unfortunately, my zipper will no longer zip up. I reached up to pull down my overhead and the class NOTICED MY FLY AND HAIR TIE. I feel your pain.

Oh jeebus it took a sec for my eyes to get to tie and I was like holy sh!t that's gotta be embarrassing.

I feel your pain. I teach middle school. I have now switched to only wearing dresses with leggings, since everything else is just too uncomfortable. I like that I can roll down the top of the leggings so they don't cut into my stomach. I actually bought a bunch of loose fitting dresses since I'm not quite pregnant enough for actual maternity dresses.

lol. Sorry, I know it is not funny while you are in the situation but you gave great imagery. :-) I can't imagine High School kids being kind about worddrobe malfunctions so good luck, and I hope your day tomorrow is better.

I'm actually pretty lucky in that I have a lot of very kind students looking out for me. One alerted me to the fact that my shirt was caught in the waistband of my pants in an awkward way this morning so I could fix it. I've worn things inside out before and had kids tell me so I can fix it. And they never make fun of me! But, I can't imagine this would go away as easily lol.

Can you mail your kids to my classroom? Thanks :D

I do have a couple of girls that let me know when my make-up isn't rubbed in or I have a fly away hair. The boys, however, are ruthless.

Lol, I am currently pregnant with my second child. Breakdown and wear maternity clothes. They are more comfortable and help with any bloating or cramping. I am 9 weeks and look four months right now... there is nothing wrong with maternity clothes. There are some really cute ones out there not. Buy a belly band! if you are holding out until later maternity clothes. I stretched out most of my clothes with my first pregnancy and then was really mad when I lost all of my baby weight. You can find a lot of deals on craigslist for maternity clothes too! Best of luck to you and no flashing the students!
