It's important that I start this off by saying: having (lots of) sex and/or a one night stand is totally OK. You are not a massive slut, or anything else society deems women that enjoy being with men. As long as you are safe in your encounters, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't enjoy your life how ever you see fit.
Having said that - the walk of shame is possibly the worst thing to come out of a one night stand (unless you're grossed out by actual cum). The majority of the time, you're wearing last nights sassy outfit (including five-inch heels) that no longer looks sassy but kind of classless in the bright sun. Your makeup may be running down your face, smeared lipstick, and your hair full of knots - it happens! I've most certainly been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt (and by t-shirt, I mean his oversized t-shirt). Now, it's time for me to impart my wisdom upon you.

I know you don't want to take a big purse out with you when you're partying or going out for the evening - and it doesn't have to be THAT big - just large enough to fit in a few essentials. These essentials are what I call "the one night stand kit" (and am surprised as to why I haven't monetised on it yet!).

Frequently asked questions
3. An OUTFIT to MATCH
Next, have a shirt (that matches your dress, skirt, or pants) and a pair of ballet pumps in there. This will come in handy to hide the amazing cleavage you displayed last night and the heels you so adore. By swapping out your shoes and top, you'll be able to cover up the indiscretions from the night before.
***
The outfit you should wear to avoid the walk of shame can be easily put together. Start with a dress, skirt, or pants in a neutral color, like black, white, or beige, and pair it with a top that complements the color. Add a pair of ballet pumps, which are comfortable and easy to walk in. This will help to cover up any indiscretions from the night before, while still looking stylish. Accessorize with a light scarf or jewelry to add a subtle touch of glamour. The outfit will ensure you look put-together and ready to face the day.
4. SIZE MATTERS
I know that these items may seem to take up a lot of space, but they really don't. A normal-sized handbag will do the trick. You can alway optimise your space by hiding some cash in your bra. In that way, you're eliminating the need for a chunky wallet.
***
No matter how much you may have overpacked, size does matter when it comes to avoiding the morning-after walk of shame. A normal-sized handbag is all you need to keep your essentials with you. If you want to be extra savvy, you can hide some cash in your bra for quick access. That way, you can ditch the bulky wallet and keep your items light and compact. It's also a good idea to keep a pair of flip-flops in your bag in case your feet get tired. This way, you can keep your style and your dignity intact.
5. TIMING is EVERYTHING
If you're a university student, don't leave the guy's place at 7:50am when the birds are chirping, friends are meeting for coffee before class, and bright-eyed students are on their way to the library. Time your escape for when class is in session. That way, you'll minimise the crowds.
***
Timing is essential when it comes to avoiding the dreaded walk of shame. To minimize the chances of being seen, it's best to plan your escape for when class is in session. That way, you won't have to worry about running into friends, classmates, or anyone else who may recognize you. It's also important to plan ahead and make sure you have everything you need before you leave. That way, you can make a quick and discreet exit without having to go back for forgotten items. Finally, make sure you have a safe and reliable way to get home.
6. Own It
But if you DO see the crowds, own your sexual encounters! Go home and tell all of your friends about the fun (or weird) details and have a laugh and or cringe about it all. When you get older - you'll have enough material to write a memoir, or do stand up comedy.
***
Owning your sexual encounters is an important part of the morning-after experience. It can be a great way to share fun (or weird) details with your friends and have a laugh or cringe about it. This can be especially helpful for young women who may feel embarrassed or ashamed after a one-night stand. Owning it can help to make it a positive experience and provide a great source of material for future memoirs or comedy. Plus, it can be a great way to bond with your friends and help each other move forward.
7. The "S" or "W" WORD
If anyone hits you with the "S" word, or the "W" word, or even gives you snarky looks or comments - you should metaphorically punch them in the mouth because no one needs that kind of negativity in their life.
After following these tips, you'll look fresh AF the next day. And even though you may still be walking home feeling as though everyone knows exactly what you did last night - they really don't. They'll simply be envious of the woman who walks confidently with a huge smile on her face.

Here's a thought: don't have so many one night stands!! I'm not slut shaming, but it's a great way to get STD/I's or get pregnant.... not to mention it can hurt you emotionally...
