I went out for lunch & only noticed a huge outfit issue when I unbuckled my seatbelt back home, you’ve just gotta laugh
A WARDROBE malfunction has left one woman laughing instead of hiding away.
She only noticed the common, yet embarrassing, outfit issue when she got home.
Author and presenter Mel Robbins (@melrobbins), 55, filmed herself recounting the debacle in a video on TikTok.
“I just got back from seeing a friend of mine for lunch,” she said, sitting in a car.
“I drove home, I pulled in the garage, I unbuckled the seatbelt, and that’s when I noticed my pants are unbuttoned.
“And I didn’t even look at this. I missed two full buttons. I did not notice it at lunch,” she added.
She offered an explanation as to why she may have overlooked the issue.
“You want to know why? Because I’ve got high waisted jeans on, which means all my attention was right here,” she said, pointing to her waist.
She added that although many would find it embarrassing, she took a moment to find the humor in the situation.
“You’ve got to learn to laugh at yourself. So I immediately took a photo. There it is,” she said.
“And then I immediately texted it to my friend and was like: ‘How could you let me sit like this all of lunch?” she added.
She called her approach an “art form” and encouraged others to see the bright side of things.
“Learning to laugh at yourself is not only an art form, it is an act of liberation and confidence,” she said.
“Stop taking yourself so seriously. Laugh when you screw up.
“Bring other people into it, and you’re going to have a heck of a lot more fun, and you’re going to be able to shake this kind of stuff off and move on,” she added.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their two cents in the comment section, with one writing: “Boy, do I need to hear that.”
