STYLE GURU STYLE: Black Friday Brawl

December 15th, 2016 at 2:00am

I have wanted a pair of over-the-knee black boots for the longest time. I had a mission in mind for Black Friday this year, and that was to buy Christmas gifts and, if I happened to stumble upon a deal for black boots, consider making that purchase for myself if they were cute enough.

This was my first time legitimately shopping for Black Friday. I have heard horror stories about Black Friday shenanigans, and wanted to experience the madness with my own eyes. I did not plan to cause a ruckus, but I can honestly say that my first time Black Friday shopping, I accidentally found myself in the middle of an altercation over some over-the-knee black boots that I found at Reflection for $38.00.

Long story short, I asked the employee for the boots that I wanted to try on in a size six. The employee came back with a shoe box, but only one boot was in the box. I kindly asked her where the other shoe was because I loved the boot, and it fit me perfectly. The employee explained that when there is only one shoe in the box, it usually means that the other shoe is out as a display.

With that being said, my friend and I searched the Reflection store high and low. About thirty minutes later, a different employee whispered to me that there was a girl who also wanted the boots I originally asked for. I saw the girl in the corner standing there with a security guard, holding my boot captive. I went into a panic and realized that this could turn into a petty quarrel. Although, being that I asked for the shoe first, I did not doubt that the shoes were rightfully mine to be honest.

When the employee told me that the girl was going to give me the shoes, I knew that this purchase was meant to be. My friend and I giggled after the fact at my Black Friday rivalry as we left the store with our new items.

I am proud of this purchase because my new adorable lace up boots have a story behind them. Plus, for the price, they were a steal. I am excited to add these boots to my wardrobe collection since they are a staple shoe for so many different outfits. Not to mention, they are perfect for the winter season to keep my feet and legs warm.
