Review: Belted Sweater Dress

28, Sep 2009

Belted Sweater Dress ($34.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now

Fit: Remember in my Satin Woven Tunic review, I mentioned this is a store for teenagers (duh)? Well, this sweater dress is another example of this. No one over the age of 18 should really wear a dress that’s banded at the bottom like so. It’s just going [...]

Review: Pleated Silky Dress

27, Sep 2009

Pleated Silky Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: You can see Sydne sneaking into my dressing room behind me and the first thing she said was, “Whoa boobies!” And seriously, whoa boobies in this dress. I tried it on because anything pleaty immediately request a trip to the dressing room and I’m happy to report these [...]

Review: Satin Woven Tunic

27, Sep 2009

Satin Woven Tunic ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: I don’t know if buttoned-down shirts really require much reviewing. Like, we’re all pretty aware of how they fit, right? It’s really not that hard to mess them up. Like this one, it’s fine. It’s blousey and a nice, rich color. It has this weird tie that–if you’re [...]

Review: Melodie Knit Jacket

25, Sep 2009

Melodie Knit Jacket ($32.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: It’s officially Fall! I think it might be my favorite season. It’s still in the 90’s here in LA so I’m not exactly feeling the fall yet, but stores are already rolling out their outerwear, natch. Like this knit coat that looks pretty harmless but, trust me, [...]

F21 It! Caroline D’Amore’s Sweater Dress

23, Sep 2009

Usually the celeb look is way more. But Kim Kardashian’s bestie actually wore Forever 21 last night at GQ, NSF and The Humane Society’s party to benefit the Stop Puppy Mills Project. Normally the model/DJ/Sorority Row actress looks super skinny but this dress does her body good.
Caroline D’Amore and Forever 21’s Way: Tie Front Sweater [...]

My skirt is no longer online but aside from the blue, the Abstract Blur Skirt ($14.80) and Abstract Mini [...]

Review: Ankle Tab Jumpsuit

20, Sep 2009

Ankle Tab Jumpsuit ($27.80)

Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: I’m a jumpsuit girl. So as long as it doesn’t have a tapered leg, I’m trying it on. This particular one was incredibly unflattering. But it was quite possibly the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slipped into in a Forever 21 dressing room.
Versatility: If you have $30 to [...]

Review: Leopard Combo Dress

18, Sep 2009

Leopard Combo Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: I hated this dress at first. The bottom half looked fab, especially if I had Spanx underneath, but the patterned top cut off my neck, making me look like I was wearing a dress four sizes too small. We then tried pulling the neckline down on each side, [...]

Review: Tie Back Sweater

18, Sep 2009

Tie Back Sweater ($19.00)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: The ribbing on the sweater is extremely slimming, as it draws attention to your chest while creating a narrower midsection (though busty women, you might want to steer clear). The pearl beaded posies look just as nice as any 50+ J. Crew embellishments and the lavender, taupe and [...]
