Black Friday? More like black-and-blue Friday.

It started with an elbow to your ribs in the electronics section and ended with a stiletto to your instep (heels should be declared a weapon on sale days) during a battle over the last pair of $20 boots in your besties size.

She’s all sugar. Her wardrobe, however, could definitely use some spicing up.

Those pink gingham crinoline dresses, hot pink fuzzy bear onesies, and overly-ruffled rompers are more mini-Stepford housewife than future glamour girl.
