Cocktail Dress in a Black Tie World: A Fashion Faux Pas or a Failure of Friendship? 🤔
This story has it all: a black tie event, a cocktail dress, and a roommate caught in the middle. When Ruby decided to don a cocktail dress to a black tie event, our storyteller tried to steer her right. But Ruby shrugged off the advice and the result was a night of whispers and stares. Todd, Ruby's boyfriend and our storyteller's roommate, was left red-faced and he's blaming our storyteller for not preventing the fashion disaster. Was it her responsibility to ensure Ruby adhered to the dress code, or is Ruby, as a grown woman, responsible for her own wardrobe choices? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...🤷♀️🌐
