It Must Be Love

Gorman Stripes :: Loftus // DC // No flash

You know those times when you’re out shopping and you fall hard for some delectable little item? You know you don’t need it, you know you can’t afford it, but none of that matters because you really, really love it? It’s like a bad boyfriend, tugging on your purse strings.

It was like that for Lidushka. She had an on/off relationship with Gorman, but one day she gave it another chance, walked through the door, and fell in love all over again … with a striped jumper. Ah, romance.

It was expensive, and she managed to tear herself away from it the first time, but it just kept on tugging at those heartstrings. Finally, one day she could stand it no longer. She marched right back in, laid her money down on the counter and took the little striped beauty home with her.

Here she is in her Gorman jumper, Sportsgirl jeans, Wittner boots (replacements for a dud online purchase that she made in the teeth of my sage advice), and a scarf she inherited from a bridesmaid gig. You can tell by that wide smile that Lidushka is really in love this time. Sigh.
