Each morning, I stand at the bus stop. Twenty minutes later, when the bus finally arrives, I board and a sea of black greets me. Black wool pea coats and puffer down jackets.

I’d say we’re due for a tonal shift around these parts, so rather than indulge in yet another Lonely Girl post (like how I slipped in the Gossip Girl reference?
