Huge wardrobe malfunction(s)

This morning, while I was getting everything ready, I decided to make a last minute alteration to my dress. I removed the ribbon because I was afraid it would Frey and unravel. After I removed the ribbon I decided to try it on to make sure it looked good. All was fine until I tried to take it off. The zipper broke on me as I was unzipping it. It would have been a semi easy fix if I had a spare black zipper laying around but, I don't. That was my last one. I had to squeeze my way out of it then spent some time trying to repair it and looking for something to replace it with frantically. No luck. I repaired the break but, because it was a damaged track I now can't open the zipper. I even had my husband trying to help and almost broke down in tears. I decided to pull out some editor pants I hadn't worn before and am wearing that to the first fashion show (Sue Wong) this Morning. I am hoping that I can fix my zipper problem and wear it to the gower studios fashion weekend event. MORE BAD NEWS. As we were getting gas at our local gas station I decided I wanted a Starbucks mocha frap (the on the go ones) and began to drink it as my husband pulled out of the gas station. Because there was a huge truck blocking his view of oncoming traffic he jerked forward and slammed on the break as I was mid sip.....I'm sure you all know what happened next. As you know the Starbucks container has a very wide drinking top. Almost half of the drink spilled down the front of my brand new never been worn purple silk top. In an attempt to clean it up I started to wipe it down with my son's diaper wipes (a clean one mind you) but no luck there either. The top is ruined. On our way to LA I had to stop and buy a new top. I am very unhappy with it but I'm rolling with the punches today :(.
