Oh, I've done that! I had the same shoes in both black and navy for wearing to work (low heeled pumps...remember "pumps"?) and in the office one day realized I was wearing one black shoe and one navy shoe with my navy suit. What can I say? The closet was dark!

Oh my gosh, you just gave me my first laugh out loud for the day. At least you have a good sense of humor. That's better than the first (of 2) times I walked out of a public restroom with a long string of paper streaming behind me. Now that's embarrassing but I just quickly rolled it up in my hand & went on about my business.

The worst I think that has happened to me is just threads hanging off me.

Love it, love it, love it! I hope you laughed when you spotted it! Wonder why no one did the right thing and quietly told you about it.

As I measured, I wrote the measurements on a piece of painter's tape (e.g. left pointing arrow, 94" right pointing arrow) and then I stuck the tape in place. All that crawling around on the floor tuckered me out, and when I was done, I put the quilt away. Later that afternoon I did some shopping-- pharmacy, hardware store, farmer's market, grocery store. I met a quite a few people I know and had a visit with most of them. That night as I was getting ready for bed, I took off my jeans and tossed them on the bed. Right across the butt of my jeans was a crosswise piece of tape--left pointing arrow, 93 1/2", right pointing arrow. There's nothing like wearing a wide load sign!

I got up very early this morning to go to garage sales with a friend. I got dressed and then got a cup of coffee and left the house. When I got to the first sale I noticed that I had on black shoes - NOT MATCHING black shoes, just black shoes. They're both sling back and had the same heel height. Otherwise I might have noticed - maybe.
