A woman accidentally wore a car seat cover as a skirt and oh, we've all been there.

We’ve probably all made the odd fashion faux pas as a result of rushing frantically out the door, paying little attention to the clothes we’ve chucked on.

Whether it’s realising your skirt is tucked into your undies… that are also inside-out, or finding a stray staticky-sock latched to your tights – it happens to the best of us.

But one woman’s oh-so-relatable wardrobe mishap has gone viral, not just because it’s downright hilarious, but because she’s… actually kinda pulling it off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Mamamia’s daily news podcast The Quicky will get you up to speed on what you need to know today….

Mum-to-be Lori Farrell headed to work in a chic striped midi maternity skirt, with a handy bulge on the side(?) for a growing baby bump.

Only, it wasn’t a skirt at all. It was actually a… car seat cover.

Naturally, the internet is in stitches, with many new and expectant mothers chiming in to offer their sympathy.

The brand, Itzy Ritzy, finds the whole thing pretty funny too, sharing Lori’s post to their Instagram.

Speaking to Motherly, Lori explained how she made the mistake:

“A friend of mine had given me a huge lot of baby stuff, from clothes to baby carriers to a rocker and blankets and when I pulled it out I was not sure what it was,” she explains. “I debated it but washed it anyway then decided because of the way it pulled on the side it must be a maternity skirt.”

She says she still wasn’t sure if she was right by the time she headed out the door, but rocked the piece of striped material as a skirt regardless.

“When I got to work I googled the brand and realised not only do they not sell clothing but it was a car seat cover.”

But proving the internet loves nothing more than a fashion hack, some Facebook users were actually pretty impressed by the versatile seat cover.

“Um this makes you a genius. Any mum who can make multiple uses out of things before and after babies is a win,” one said.

“Love things that serve dual purpose lol,” another said.

One more said simply: “Who cares! You look fab.”

Agreed.

Who knew a car accessory could be so stylish?
