Scrimple


At least I think that's how you would spell it. This is Abby's latest word creation, and this one is so important I had to share it with all of you. Scrimple is when your sleeves are too long, but you push them above your wrist anyway and then it bunches up on your bicep. Scrimple is bad and makes you look "goofy." I've included a photo here so that you can be clear on what it is that you're trying to avoid.

Scrimple has also come to refer to that wrinkle that you can get in your hair from ponytails and hair clips. I don't have a picture of that one, but I bet you know what I mean.

Best of luck to all of you in your efforts to be fashionable!

Oh, Abby! I FEEL you on the scrimples, sister. They make me feel all squinky. Sue is often prone to the hair kind of scrimple. Blah! (PS - That is a hysterical picture!)

I am glad to know how to avoid that devistating fashion fau pax. Thanks for the heads up Abby!

LOL! She thinks that's bad... I have a humiliating scrimple on the ankles of my skinny jeans. Devestating, I assure you.
