"But you really couldn't notice too much, so it was funny to see that you could wear it two ways without even realizing it.
"I'm shocked by the reaction. I had no idea it would go viral."
In the comments, netizens shared their very own fashion mistakes. "I wore 2 different sized hoops as a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding in June. It was very obvious to everyone but me," one of them wrote.

"Wait…you really don't notice the seams at the top of the shoulder? You look beautiful either way; I'm just very observant. Sometimes, it can even be my very own ick."

In July, another woman named Amber Weston revealed that she wore her pointed-toe heels wrong on the day of her graduation.
It was her sister who pointed out the mistake, making her realize that her shoes had been falling off because she had been putting the slingback strap over the top of her foot instead of around her heel.

"It actually stays on. This is amazing. Who'd have thunk? Not I guys, this is so exciting. I'm mind blown right now," she said.

Truth be told, everyone has committed fashion fails—even those who have walked dozens of red carpets in custom-made gowns.
In 2005, Eva Longoria stunned at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in an embellished, deep-V mini dress, which she happened to wear backward.
The Desperate Housewives star laughed off the mishap on Instagram, writing, "Flashback to my first year in Cannes 12 years ago! I look like a baby! Fun fact: I had my dress on backward. Yep. Backwards and didn't know it!"
"I would've kept switching it all night to confuse everyone," a TikTok user said
