She had been excited to try on her eye-catching black crop top and stylish matching skirt after doing her makeup for the special occasion.
Morgan DeBaun (@morgandebaun) has garnered over 36,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares a glimpse into her life and clips from her podcast.
She took to the social media platform to show the process of getting ready for her 33rd birthday party.
She placed her feather-covered black coord on the bed until she finished doing her makeup.
“I know you guys like the glitter dress but this is what we’re wearing,” Morgan said.
The trendsetter looked in good spirits as she posed from different angles and pouted for the camera.
She seemed happy with her finished look and put her chic outfit on.
However, her joy was soon changed to worry when she lifted her arms and spotted huge black stains that could be mistaken for unshaven hair.
“Oh no! It’s the dye from the feathers,” she said.
“Oh no! That is not ok,” Morgan’s friend quipped before suggesting using alcohol to scrub off the marks.
“I’ll just have to keep my arms down, I don’t know,” Morgan said.
She looked horrified as she continued to stare at her reflection and checked how much she could move her arms without the black stains showing.
She captioned the post: “Birthday outfit malfunction.”
The post went viral and quickly gathered hundreds of likes from people who sympathized with her fashion failure.
Many commenters wished her a happy birthday and said they still loved her choice of outfit.
“Whooooa now that I did not expect,” one person wrote.
“Girl, I was like ‘no she ain’t showing all that underarm hair’ [laughing], and then I realized it was dye,” another chimed in.
“Damn it was cute though,” a third said.
“Still a fire look!!,” another added.
Despite the blunder, Morgan continued to wear the outfit to her birthday party and took to Instagram to post snaps wearing it.
She was seemingly able to dance and take photos with her friends without lifting her arms high enough that the stains would show.
