Review: Open Front Tweed Jacket

26, Oct 2009

Open Front Tweed Jacket ($24.80)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: Sydne and I finally made it to a store with the Love 21 Contemporary line and while I was excited to try on some clothes that were not made for 15-year-olds or club skanks (or 15-year-old club skanks? I’m pretty sure those exist in some places), I [...]

Review: Floral Printed Dress

22, Oct 2009

Floral Printed Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: This is a cute enough dress–nice print, 40’s inspired silhouette. For a lot of people this dress will work and look supercute while for a lot of other people the cut of the skirt will make them look like a bell. I happen to fall into that [...]

Review: Slinky Knit Dress

22, Oct 2009

Slinky Knit Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: If I didn’t know better, I would think Diane von Furstenberg was designing a affordable line for Forever 21. This dress fits just as well as printed DVF pieces in my closet. The piping at the empire waist draws attention up towards a flattering neckline and the subtle [...]

Review: Velvet Sheath Dress

21, Oct 2009

Velvet Sheath Dress ($29.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: I had very low expectations when I saw this dress on the hanger. But after trying it on, it took an immense amount of will power not to buy it. And the only reason I didn’t buy it is because I already have a velvet LBD and I’m [...]

Review: Scalloped Fringe Dress

20, Oct 2009

Scalloped Fringe Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: It’s a shapeless shift, but it works. The hem is short enough to show off your legs and it’s not like those flappers in the ‘20s had defined waists anyway.
Versatility: You can wear a fringe dress more than you’d think. The most obvious is at night with [...]

Review: Printed Ruffled Top

15, Oct 2009

Printed Ruffled Top ($29.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: So this great if you really want to look like a bird of paradise. It’s probably not slutty enough for Halloween so it can be used just on normal costumey days should you have such days. The weirdest part about this dress might be the back that [...]

Review: Ruffle Front Shirt Dress

14, Oct 2009

Ruffle Front Shirt Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: This dress looks so nice and reserved on that lifeless mannequin but on an actual person such as myself, it looks more like a hot mess. At first I tired to tell myself, it must just be the awful placement of that security magnet thing (why [...]

Review: Dimensional Belted Skirt

14, Oct 2009

Dimensional Belted Skirt ($28.00)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: Never mind that the skirt was overly poofy and the belt reminded me of Avril Lavigne, who certainly isn’t my fashion icon. But my biggest issue with this skirt is why on earth would anyone want a horizontal stripe running across their butt? It’s as if [...]

Review: Velvet Roses Skirt

13, Oct 2009

Velvet Roses Skirt ($19.80)
Rating: Buy it maybe
Fit: The majority of Forever 21’s full high-waisted skirts fit well. They nip the waist and hide any flaws you might have below the belt. Fit wise, this one was just as cute as my floral and tribal skirts that I absolutely love. Even the velvet wasn’t so bad. [...]

Review: Side Swept Pleat Skirt

13, Oct 2009

Side Swept Pleat Skirt ($17.80)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: The word disappointed doesn’t even cut it. Jen and I have been trying to go to Pasadena so we can review Forever 21’s contemporary line, Love 21 for months now. Tired of waiting I ordered this skirt when I bought my two new pairs of booties online [...]
