It does seem as if your friend made an attempt to inform you of the costs up front, but obviously she under-estimated some of the expenses

I love that the strap is removable as it can instantly change your whole look

While on the subject of pencil contours, notice that sometimes the lines are thick and dark, and sometimes I use lines that are lighter or absent (look at garments and limbs/body)

For a European, laid-back style, wear no-show dress socks with dress sneakers

And I do love that I can play around with the neckline by undoing a few buttons

I have this dress styled with flat sandals here, but you could add a pair of classic flats or low heels for an elevated look
