The freshman lawmaker tweeted snaps of her fashion faux pas on Wednesday afternoon:
People ask me all the time about the pace of things in DC. Itās 4:04PM and I just noticed that I have gone an entire day with two different shoes on. pic.twitter.com/a5SciTpNJr

A couple years back, it was around 2 in the afternoon when I looked down and wondered why my shoelaces were different colors. Took me a few seconds to figure it out.nš¤£ pic.twitter.com/96ZgMK61th

My sole sister!!!! š¤£Congresswoman, I learned the hard way that buying same shoe in different colors is not more efficient, it just leads to days like this, when you are too exhausted and it's dark when you get dressed in the AM
