“Fine,” she murmured and opened her car door. “I’ll meet you back at your place.”
“Sounds good.”
Fifteen minutes later, they were going through Laney’s closet in hopes of finding something cute for Shelby to wear. Normally she would protest, but deep down she knew Laney’s wardrobe was far trendier than her own. And if she wanted to break out of this rut, some things had to change.
Like the way she dressed.
“I’ve got it!” Laney cried. Pulling down several hangers, she walked over to her bed and laid out her choice. “Black skinny jeans–you can never go wrong there.” Then she pointed to a red, sleeveless silk shell. “We’ll layer this with this super cute cropped cardigan. And I have an amazing red lace pushup bra you can wear under it! We’re the same size and honestly, I bought it for myself for Christmas and never wore it so…” She was grinning from ear to ear. “What do you think?”
It wasn’t horrible, but…
“I really don’t look good in red. It’s totally not my thing.”
“And we’re trying to break you of your things, so…you’re wearing it.”
That wasn’t going to fly, so Shelby walked back over to the closet and began rummaging through until she found something a little more her style. “How about this?” She waved the hanger out the closet door. “It’s still a shell and will work just the same.”
“It’s white, Shell,” Laney replied wearily. “You need a pop of color!”
“Fine.”
But it wasn’t fine. It was stupid and annoying and Shelby had a feeling she was going to hate this entire night just based on one article of clothing. Stepping out of the closet, she looked at her friend with resignation.
“We’ll go with the red, but if no one even talks to me or offers to buy me a drink, I’m blaming you and the shirt.”
Laney jumped up and down excitedly, clapping her hands. “Yay! And trust me, you’re going to look amazing and will have your choice of men by the end of the night!”
Shelby was still doubtful, but…something definitely had to give.
And if wearing a red top was the sacrifice she had to make, for tonight, she’d deal with it.
