gravitational pull.

i usually work on black fridays and manage to stay away from the shopping madness. did make one quick stop at one store on the way home. must be some magnetic force between me and stripes. i always end up with them. actually had two striped shirts in my hand but was sensible and put one back. they were out of my size at this point on black friday, which was fine because i envisioned this shirt as a dress to be worn with my dotted stockings. got home and it was waaaay to short...damn.

(top, everly (eden in love); leggings (oomph.); shoes, f21)

Love this outfit. So chic and laid back at the same time...
Last year I had to work retail on black Friday and it was one of the worst days of my life, EVER. Plus, it was at the worst job I'd ever had EVERRRRR (Justice for Girls) so not my cup of tea. I quit shortly after, vowed never to work retail again and now I'm becoming a writer...

Did I mention how much i love your outfit? :)

Bonnie said...

This is a great outfit.
And I cannot believe that you work on Black Friday! Black Friday is one of my favorite days of the entire year.
Then again, I'm a psycho shopper.
