For my first post to Fashion by Tbits I want to share my Black Friday outfit: yes even though it’s the craziest shopping day of the year and a girl will stiletto you for a half-off Burberry coat you still need to look fashionable while doing it.  And yes, I used ‘stiletto’ as a verb: it very much applies.
Being the stealthy shopper that I am, I found this amazing (and on sale!) Issa London dress (yes, the same designer The Duchess wore for her formal engagement announcement to Prince William) at Bloomingdale’s:

I love a form-fitting ribbed dress with a dropped waist.  Since the dress offers a basic, yet flattering silhouette I spiced up the outfit with red shoes and a large red tote.  This bag is amazing; every girl needs a catch-all bag.  This also happens to be the dress Padma Lakshmi wears (in a different color) in the Top Chef Seattle commercials!

Here are some close ups of the accessories:
